Haha, Pucha.

Buti pa ang manibela, di pwedeng bitawan

Buti pa ang I.D. di pwedeng iwanan

Buti pa ang underwear, di pwedeng kalimutan

Buti pa ang internet, may connection

Buti pa ang telenovelas, inaabangan

Buti pa ang LRT, hinihintay

Buti pa ang tawag, sinasagot

Buti pa ang party, pinupuntahan

Buti pa ang 2366, nagtetext

Buti pa ang Facebook, may status

Buti pa ang kalendaryo, may date

Buti pa ang Lotto, may chance

Buti pa ang fireworks… may spark

Buti pa ang tattoo… forever

Buti pa ang History, may nakaraan

Buti pa AKO may IKAW. ♥

1. The ability to touch a life, every minute of every day

2. When you’ve got a safe assignment, you leave remembering why you wanted to do this in the first place

3. When you’ve had a rough day - but you helped save a life, and maybe comforted the patient & their family during their...

NURSING: SINK…..OR SWIM???

1. Being put in charge for the first time

2. Handling a code when there are no other experienced nurses around

3. Dealing with a really obnoxious patient, and noticing that everyone else has scattered like mice in avoidance

4. Standing up to a really scary doctor when you’re secretly shaking on the inside

5. Having so much paperwork to do you want to cry, and you’ve no idea where to start

6. Hazing when you’re a new nurse - when you get a deteriorating patient, and you know very well that they’re testing to see what you would do before they jump in

7. Transferring to work on a new unit, with absolutely no idea about the new specialty

8. Volunteering to float to another floor, then immediately regretting it when you see it’s the train wreck unit, and you got the worst assignment because you’re the float.

9. Having two patients code simulatenously

10. When you get report on a critical patient with a mountain load of work that still has to be done – and no one is around to help, including the nurse who just took off after giving report

10.25. Getting three admissions at once

I know patients and significant others expect this a lot from health professionals, but, can this be possible? No matter how keen and careful a nurse, doctor, or other health practitioner can be; mistakes are inevitable. We are humans, we commit mistakes even the experienced or seasoned nurses can, how much more the new ones? Moreover, mistakes are part of the learning process. Accept them, learn from it, move on, and make sure to never do it again. As they say, "Mistakes are not for nothing as long as you learn from them."

POINT OF VIEW

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.” The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?” “Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly. “Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?” The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.” To which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know shit?” And then she went back to reading her book.

The purpose of faith isn’t always to keep us from having trouble. It is often to carry us through trouble. If we never had any trouble, we wouldn’t need any faith.
