12.- St. Alphonsus of Liguori Work Immersion

Work Immersion Weekly Journal: (Weekly 11)

This week we were assigned to an are where my experience in this work

immersion all started – the admissions department. Time really flew so fast and I just
came to realize that I have been putting all my best to become an effective health care
provider. Note: this journal will be quite emotional (sir, even though I know you don’t like
this format but I can’t help to do so.)

A. Insights of the day

This week is like a montage of everything from the first week, it seems like I have
found my passion in this place, I anchored my heart, and rested my peace of mind. We
haven’t done much this week because there were no physicians on duty that is why we
only admitted patients who are for monthly drug collection and for dental services –
which makes it more emotional because we are given enough time to talk to each other
and to realize how we come to end this work immersion.

We only really did a few in this work immersion week but it seems to be the most
unforgettable of them all because it seems like we are habitualized of the awra of the
place. And today my biggest insight is that no matter how hard life and work may
become we must come to thank and certify our efforts by resting and giving gratitude to
those who come to help you along the way.

This week I have realized that I will be always be grateful to the school especially
to our teachers and all who forms this institution. And in did I will miss everything about
this school and especially to your rants and criticisms sir Mel, I may hate you most of the
times because you make things so extra - from exams to projects and even our
conversation but I always am thankful of your efforts of making the best species in the
entire universe. I will forever remember all the things you have taught me from grade ten
(10) up to this day, in deed they are all very helpful to me now, particularly that I am now
entering college.

In times of my shortcomings I always put my guts to other things to catch up

those mistakes and I always appreciate for bringing out the potential in me that I have
never thought I have – to be an insanely brilliant person (kahit man mababa ang
nakukuha ko sa exams but you always tell that you see yourself in me which boosts up
my confidence every time.). I know for sure, even if you give me a low rating in this
journal, I will forever remember that this is the best journal I have ever made because
this is my heart speaking, not theories, not a research format, but my heart pounding lub
dub which makes it more a master piece.

This work immersion let me meet the person who will serve as the measles and
rubella vaccine to my future endeavours, the person who will revive me from
unconsciousness, and the person who will always root for me all the time and always
expects a great output from me. And that is you sir, together with the whole institution,
Thank You, Maraming Salamat, Agyamannak.

But on the other way around I like the strictness of the RHU in administering
vaccines because they need our parental consents before having a vaccine even
though we are now considered to do legal decisions of our own. This was done to
ensure our safety and fro the RHU’s responsibility if something will go wrong.

B. Challenges encountered

We really haven’t encountered any problem this week except for binging home sick
patients who came all the way from far places since the doctor is not present. We also
had edematic patient who complains of severe pain.

C. Action taken to the challenges/difficulties of the day

As a health care provider it is our duty to determine sympathy and empathy,

because it was so hard for my part to send home sick patients but I can’t do nothing
else because there is no legal person present in the RHU to cure or treat the sick
patients so I had no choice but to send them home.

Moreover, I have experience a patient complaining of severe pain I don’t know what
to do administer since I have no enough knowledge and skill so I let him sit immediately
and ask for help in an instant from a nurse present in the unit.
