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.

new world

Hi.A year ago I arrived in the east coast to start a new chapter and a new career. I hope I can reach out to other new nurses or nurses in a new land and share some of the experiences I have encountered at work. So many things were new to me and I will try to familiarize you with
the gadgets and equipments you may encounter, as well as give you some idea of nursing life in america.
