21st August (Thursday) - On the twelveth day of- Okay, bad pun, but people always seems to like the 7th day of Christmas, except for me it's the 7th day of being a clerk, even though if counted by week, it's already my 3rd week, but do anyone care, no. The big bosses say 6 days, NOT 2 weeks, is not enough to complete my clerk training, which means I'm still stuck. Don't get me wrong, I like following the senior clerk and doing the job, except...when can I start touching the patients? What about my 3 years of nursing? T^T I don't want to complain but seriously, I feel sad for not doing any nursing things.
Okay, today is really busy, for the morning, anyway.Good thing I had bee practicing with the flow system and computer cause there are many discharges.and admissions. Grab the discharge checklist, patient's appointment card, check the Dr's notes, find the follow up date, run to the computer and set to pending discharge, set the appointment, staple all the prescriptions and I/O chart together, write the follow up dates on the checklist and card, tidy up the files, and run to pharmacy and billing. Then when the patient come back, record the amount and receipt number, hand their appointment card and relevant documents and voila. Believe me, I first freaked out on the whole system process, but after a few days of repeating the process, I finally got it. Same goes for admissions,
There's really not much to talk about to tell the truth. If you've seen my previous posts on filings, it's more or less the same. When there's nothing to do, file everything. Filing done? Write in the histopathology and HPE reports. Writing done? Tidy up the empty files. Tidying up done? Update relevant informations on the computer. See? Same thing over and over again. Once you get used to things, you can relax. When I'm free, sometimes I get to send patients to diagnostics, tidy up the beds, let patient know the bill is ready, fill up hot water flasks... Yeah, although it's dull, it's still a fun job.
Tomorrow is Friday, so bring on the admissions. ^^
