This is a sublime and clever re-entry into blogging after all the seriousness in my previous posts. I for sure took you a little solemn-bound with all the ideas I have presented in the past few weeks. But this time, I want to share with you something more entertaining.

The call out to find a steady employment in the hospital summons an even greater problem than just passing the licensure exam.

I am one of the “lucky” few who were accepted to work as volunteer in one of the level 4 hospitals here in the city. Before we were set out to the different areas of the hospital, batches of assorted policies were oriented to us. It was very demanding of our time yet helpful.
There is one topic that reminded me that nursing isn’t limited to taking the vital signs, administering medications, and other clinical procedures but making certain that the hospital environment is conducive to every patient’s healing. I’m specifically talking of the Waste Management Program of the hospital where I’m in.
Constituted in the program is the Infection Control. The Infection Control Nurse of the hospital encouraged me personally when she presented the topic with humor but with so much sense. She said in her lecture that there are 8 fun facts about infection control:
