MICU Posting

Posted in General, tagged on February 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Whew! I have finally managed to survive the two weeks of attachment at MICU at TTSH.
I mean, I did learn a lot of things there, but the cold gets to me. I am shivering even though I wore another layer under my uniform.
I got to see some really interesting procedures though. I saw how a [...]

SGH Ward 75

Posted in General, tagged on November 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I have just finished my attachment at Ward 75 of SGH.
When I first stepped into Ward 75 on 22 October, all the staff nurses were poker-faced. I groaned to myself, “Oh no, how am I going to survive the two weeks here?”

I have just fnished my one week of gynaecology posting at ward 61 of KKH and it was … interesting. I really learnt a lot of stuff there, it’s just that it is really terribly cold there. It is a B1 ward so it is fully air-cinditioned. Going into the ward is like going into [...]

Clinical Attachment at IMH

I have just finished three days of clincal attachment at the Institue of Mental Health. It is quite boring at times because there are not that many things to do as compared to the other general hospitals. However, it is still a fun experience because everything is done differently there.

In the general hopitsals, the medications [...]

Today was my first day of attachment at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. It is so boring there! There is nothing to do there. I seriously wonder how I am going to survive these two [...]
