My best Learning Feedback Diary Ever
31 July, 2009
For this rotation (ward in MRH), I learned one of the best learnings I had as a person: separating emotions from work and maintaining a positive attitude.
The tragic news of having the exams scheduled on July 31, despite the University holiday totaly ruined my mood. Aside from the fact that I spent my 10-day vacation stress-free without books and requirements, meaning I did not bother to study, my back-up plan of spending my Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for studying was also ruined as I was reminded of our retreat scheduled on those days. Instantly, I felt so scared and troubled. The thought of the up coming exam and the lengthy coverage bothered me a lot --- I had no time to study. I totally lost the "duty mode" I was preparing myself as I woke up.
But I thought I can't do anything about it if I keep on worrying, so I settled myself and reprogramed my mood to put my focus on the work that awaits me for the day and to my patient who needed care.
Usually when I go through these disappointing moments, it is but rare for tme to smile and to return back to a possitive attitude. But I was amazed of what I was able to do, I managed to be optimistic and positve, quickly and even sustained it throughout the shift.
Because of this, work became easy and smooth, as if I wasn't bothered at all. As a result, I was able to care for my patient, I was able to complete charting, I was able to be on time for the closing of the charts ------ this is because I decided not to be unfair to my patient and include my service for him in consequence of whatever worries I had, and so I smiled.
