my first clinical rotation started today and i didn't expect what happened earlier this morning. i woke up 3 a.m. and started my clinical duty rituals. i cooked my own breakfast and took a bath with the freezing water. our meeting time was 5.30 a.m. and it was too early for me get a ride to our meeting place. so i waited like an hour to get a ride. thanks god i got there on time. there would be another hour for me to get to the hospital and the only way to get there is to take a bus. an ordinary bus. i hate ordinary buses. they drive like lunatics and they don't care about their passengers. and i hate the smoke and all the dusts that comes from the other vehicles. it was really a roller coaster ride. when we arrived at the place, i thought the hospital would be seen in our sight but there are no hospitals to be found. only smelly markets and congested streets. and then, my classmate told us we have to walk and i was like what the f*ck!!! but i have nothing else to do. i have to walk and walk and then walk again. our walking never stops. we passed through high bushes and we were like in a another mountain. i was really freakin' out 'coz i didn't expected that we will be climbing a mountain. damn!!! when we arrived at the hospital, i really tired and all of us were cathcing our breaths and perspring alot. our clinical duty have not started yet and we were all sweaty and smelly. we were assigned to the Pedia ward and it was a place full of devil kids crying. it was really a very toxic duty. i handled almost five patients and i hate them all. hahaha. and we were all required to get a screen for hepatitis B by the institution 'coz i think the health municipality there don't allow nursing students to affiliate if they don't have vaccines. needle inserted to my vein and the story goes on. we were anxiously waiting outside the laboratory for the results and then the medtech called my number and i was very happy to get the result 'coz i was negative but i was saddened because one of my groupmate and also a friend of mine went positive. we put everything to normal things awhile ago when we heard the news and i hope she would get cured. and then after our clinical duty we went home and i fell asleep the whole travel back to sm fairview. i have to go to bed 'coz 3 a.m. is getting near again. Nite!
