Sad life of a PRP

Omg. Didn't realize that I abandon this blog for such a long time already until Hou reminded me that it has been a long time since I last updated my blog.

At the start of my PRP life, I wanted to blog more often, so that I will be able to read back a year from now and remind myself of how far I've went, and also for me to remember all the bittersweet memories in this hospital.

But I guess I failed miserably. Working life is tough! Not so easy, not so much time to blog anymore. Since starting in this new department (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) 3 weeks ago, my life has been nothing but busy busy busy.

I usually do not get to go home on time. Not even once I've managed to leave work and punch my card out at 5 pm sharp. If I'm lucky I'll probably get to punch out by 5.30pm, most days its always 6pm or the latest I've tried was 8pm.

And by the time I get back home, done eating my dinner, I will be super exhausted that all I want to do this take a nap and after my nap, I wake up to bath, and study for my counseling assessment test before sleeping at 11pm. Super healthy lifestyle now sleeping so early every night. Seems like my body cant last longer than 11pm any longer. It's either I'm getting old or work has been really tough on me :(

At the beginning, during the first week at TDM, i HATED it. Hated it soo sooo much. I wish god would just kill me. I dread going to work everyday. It was so tiring, needing to go up to the wards at least 3 times a day, clerking cases, and dispatching results. And when I'm not at the wards, I'll be stuck in the small room, working my brain cells out, interpreting patients results and giving recommendation on what to do next.

But now, 3 weeks in, I can say that I finally mastered this department. I can now clerk 10 cases in an hour when previously it took me 1.5 hours for 4 cases? LOL. And I can interpret results and recommend new doses within minutes :P And I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am beginning to like this department, obviously cause I've mastered it.

I only have 1 week left in this place before switching to a new department next month and the horror starts all over again!! New department, blur me, lots to learn from scratch again. Sigh life of a sad PRP.

On a bright side,  2 months in, 10 months to go.

10 months before I can call myself a fully registered pharmacist.

Been dreaming for that day since Day 1 that I stepped into this place =/

Will be back with more updates plus pictures when I have the time.

Ciaoz for now!
