Wonderful 2 days~
Yesterday was my last day of work! It was a GREAT day~ Work started at 9am and I got to do a lot of dispensing.. So, I got to sit at the counter ;)
Less packing :)
Then, one of the nice pharmacists treated us (me and another girl who's leaving too) lunch... The place is famous for its porridge... and the pharmacist ordered 5 dishes to go together with the porridge! There were only 3 of us but we had deer meat, fried squid, 2 different types of vegetables and fried egg tofu... it was very yummy! :)
After lunch, I had my open evaluation with 2 of my preceptors... My preceptor helped me to correct my reports.. Sadly, now I am still editing my report but the good thing is my preceptor helped me make my report a better one :)
My preceptors gave me a "Exceeds expectation" for my performance! :)
After the evaluation, the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians at Level 1 Pharmacy gave us (those leaving) each a present! Heart-shaped dark chocolates! *yummy* :)
The retail staffs also gave us a present- aromatherapy incense...
Before I left, I went to thank everyone there and they are all so nice! The pharmacists asked me to go back for the Brown Bagging but I will be leaving on Tuesday and the event will be on Saturday.... Very very nice of them!
Made me feel a little sad to be leaving although I had been waiting for this day for 6 whole weeks!
This whole preceptorship program had been very enriching!
When I started, I set my mind to be more inquisitive and be more brave to ask questions.. as compared to last year when I was in Guardian... This time, I am the only student attached to NCC.. There are pros and cons... There are less peer pressure, which is good.. But at the same time, I am all by myself when questioned.. I can't rely on my partner's answer anymore...
During the program itself, I missed out chances to see and learn things that I could due to my own inhibition... Sigh.... :(
Luckily, I had some wonderful preceptors... Even though they are very very busy, they still spend time with me... to teach me... to take me for dispensing... to answer my questions whenever I asked...
The other pharmacists were also very nice... and the pharmacy technicians too... :)
Some of the nurses were nice too...
I had learned to be more effective in communicating with colleagues... I am still a little apprehensive when talking with my preceptors ( I don't know why..haha)..
My hand used to tremble when I am nervous... But I had finally overcome it! Not during this preceptorship.. but for the past months (or year?), I had slowly but surely overcome it..
But during this preceptorship, I realised I channelled my nervousness to my face instead of my hand... My face flushed whenever I feel nervous! Serious.. I can feel the warmth creeping onto my cheeks.. And if it gets real bad, I feel really warm... o_O
I guess it's better than hand trembling.. at least it's not so obvious ;)
I also gained more confidence when talking to strangers and during dispensing.. Everyone had been very helpful in backing me up during dispensing :)
Sometimes, I still regret giving up my place in NUH.. But at the same time, I think it is fated for me to go to NCC and to meet such great preceptors and staffs.. I may have missed out opportunities that NUH could have offered me but I may have gained other things from NCC...
One thing is certain, these 6 weeks had been a well spent one
I am leaving for HK on Tuesday... feeling a little nervous about living in a fast pace city like HK.. But at the same time, very excited about it! Haven't started packing as I am still editing my preceptorship reports.. HaHa.. Going to start tomorrow but not much to be packed actually..
Today was our first Housemate Outing to K Box Karaoke! We sang from 11am to 3pm! HaHa.. usually it's a 3-hour slot but due to some problems with their lunch delivery, we were given 1 more FREE hour to sing as a sign of apology.. we didn't even asked for an apology actually.. So, we were really glad to get one more hour of singing for FREE :)
then, WX and I went to Vivo City to get wedding gift for my ex-preceptor (from Guardian).. She's getting married on 07/07/07! Got her a set of gift from Crabtree & Evelyn :)
Going to see dentist on Monday... Having toothache again :(
Time to sleep zzzzzz.... :DLabels: NCC Preceptorship
