health center duty

today, we went at people's health center in mandaluyong city for our health center duty. as a leader, i did my job. i texted them to remind them about the things they should bring and the likes. our meeting place is at jollibee mendiola, 6:15. i woke up early and left early because i didn't want to be late. i arrived at jollibee mendiola 6:30. the other members of my group were already there. i did the necessary things like photocopying the PA tool and review of systems. two of my group members were really late and i was kinda pissed off because i thought we're going to be late.
finally, we are completed. we rode the jeepney to kalentong and from there we rode another jeepney to hulo elementary school. it was a long ride and tiring, i got a little dizzy from the ride. when we arrived at the elementary school, we walked a little going to the health center. all the directions were given to me by our clinical instructor. thank you sir! :) when we arrived at the health center, our instructor hasn't arrived yet so we were asked to sit down and wait for him. we talked with each other and had fun.
then, he finally arrived. we were sort of anxious but then i was glad he already arrived for we have been waiting. when our instructor arrived, he sort of like chatted with us first before proceeding with the lecture. it was a short lecture on how to do a nursing care plan. after the lecture, we ate our breakfast at a nearby canteen. free watching in the television..hehe :) when our food was cooked, it was time for us to eat. i was beside our instructor and to my right were my other groupmates. it was a crowded place inside because there were other schools who decided to eat there as well.
we had fun talking with each other while eating. the food was so delicious and i really loved their tapsilog. thank you sir for bringing us there. when i was done eating, i was surprised when our instructor pat me hard on my back. i was really shocked but we just turned it into a joke. after we ate, we went back to the health center to get our things. then, sir instructed us to go and find patients whom we can interview. then, the search began. we were able to find patients to interview and they were such nice people. though they were sort of busy they still let us interview them. after the interview, me, jecca, myles and nheng chatted for a while. it was nice talking with them for you get to know something about them.
when it was time for us to go back, we went back to the health center and our instructor was already waiting for us. i gave him the attendance logbook and attendance logbook. after he was done writing, we decided to go. we thanked the staff of the health center and off we go. we rode again a jeepney going back to kalentong and from there we were divided into 2 groups. our group went to boni station and the others with our instructor rode a jeepney going back to legarda. it was a long ride from boni avenue.
it brings back memories because it is where we first had our health center exposure during the first semester. we rode the mrt station 3 going to cubao. we had our stop over at gateway because i bought powder at watsons. after which we decided to go home. when i got home, i went to sleep right away after i had changed my clothes. it was a tiring day though we didn't do much but the travel was very tiring. that's all for now.
