Hell Week

I have so many things to post. If you want to keep your blog updated, you really need to put on a lot of commitment to this. It was a tough week. It's like a mission impossible movie. I need to always move to maintain my line-up. I never thought that I can handle such a crazy schedule.

I started my orientation at St. Claire last tuesday. I came in late but just in time for the hospital tour. A nursing supervisor facilitated the tour. We were never orientated about the SOPs, the people we need to speak with when we have concerns, nothing about the training program itself. The 5 of us were just distributed on our corresponding floors to do our job. Then toxicity started. We had a hard time adjusting to the new environment. I was roaming around assuming I was doing the right thing.

Commuting was a struggle. Each day I was taking a different route. From St. Claire, I tried the pedicab-going-to-cash and carry-fairview bus route. They say it will pass Glorietta, from there I can ride the MRT going to Cubao. The jeepney ride going home. I also took the dian jeepney going to libertad way. From libertad, there were PUJs going to Sta.Cruz. And so I took the ride, head out at lawton. Rode an fx going to Araneta. Both of those routes use up 2 hours of my sleeping time. I am still not decided yet what is the best way to take going home. Going there, was an equal neck break. It's really hard to catch an empty cab during rush hours. So, I passed Guadalupe bridge walking. From there I rode a PUJ going to Taft. A passer-by told me it will pass Buendia. From there, I can take a dian jeepney passing St. Claire, I thought. I ended up lost pleading to get a cab. It was the most tiring morning. Hell, I hope it will not happen again. I discovered taking a Cartimar PUJ from Guada was the best course. It will pass Export bank and Cash N Carry. From there, I can just walk or take a pedicab ride going to the hospital.

After my first training day, shopping with friends was a blessing. The foodtrip was a blast. They had sushi and maki for dinner. I am not really fond of jap foods so I gorge myself with stir fried noodles. Yum yum ;)

Here's a photo of 2 of my co-trainees. They are very supportive about my adjustment.
