orientation

On my first few weeks I was assigned with a preceptor and we worked together on 8 patients. We speak in English most of the time, as that is required. From time to time we cant help but speak in Tagalog or some other dialect, but only among ourselves. No problem though, as you will quickly learn to adjust. They emphasized patient safety, even above efficiency. which was good, in a way, dahil mabagal ako compared sa kanila. Last ako natatapos magbigay ng medicines, as I was afraid to make mistakes.
