had practical assessment today. dun think i did a good job. i was pretty ill prepared. (i forgot to wear gloves and missed out 1 hand washing....) seriously, break all the infection control rules. and i was pretty sore abt it... 

A classmate of mine didnt pass assessment though because she couldnt expel air bubbles from her syringe and exceeded the given time(fyi:we need to expel these air bubbles so to prevent embolism and giving the wrong dose of medicine). personally, i thought she wasnt entirely responsible cause she's allocated to be in the last slot of the day and the needles tend to be "recycled" through the day and arent usually in the best condition when comes to her turn. but instead of being sore and complaining abt how unfair it was, she took it at her stride and just told me that she hopes that the reassessment date dun clash with any of our upcoming assignments. with so many things at hand, she rlly encouraged me alot, to be motivated and press on. i feel so guilty and so "small", complaining abt everything under the sun. hm, pretty spoiled eh. oops.

as much as i do not want to fail my practical assessment, it then comes then question "am i competent enough to serve real patients". if i just want to pass the skill without being rlly good in it, am i putting the patients that i'm going to serve in the future at risk? i dunno. it always seems like a conflict of interest. on 1 hand i'm running out of time and re-assessment means squeezing more time out of no time, but when i think of re-assessment as a way to ensure safer practice in the wards in the future.... it might not be such a bad thing afterall... darn! i'm not sure if i wanna pass or fail right now....
