Went for my cannulation and venepuncture course today. Well in simple terms, it means to set a needle on the hand for people so that they can have their glucose drip for example (cannulation); and venepuncture simply means blood taking.
Probably not my day, and lucky enough that it is on a minikin, my cannulation did not make it in a way I probably have missed the vein
; and also I think I prefer the cannula in my old company, it is easier to hold as compare to this one without a port to grip on. I don't know.

And my venepuncture is the same, I missed the vein as well till the second attempt.
And...
May be it is just my luck lah huh, I was being bombarded with weird questions even before I start.
Like... I was being asked to translate potassium and sodium in chinese.
I was like...
HUH?Come to think of it, may be she wanted me to use simpler terms?
But hor, I don't remember even saying the word "potassium" when I was explaining to the manikin, I used the word "minerals" instead...
Weird right?
Aziz, my new colleague said I am just "sui" as usual to get questions like this
.
.I told the CI in the end when she started asking me forms and how to send the specimens that I have never been to the ward before and I won't know whatever specific stuff that she is asking, even the "telelift" I don't even know how the station looks like, LOL, I would probably tell her press "4" to send the tubes which is what I used to do at my old company
.
.
*Lame*Ok ok.
End of the day story is, I am just jinco as usual lah.
Tomorrow would be the day I would first step into the ward, wonder how will it goes man
.
.I am back to my life of hooking up chemos for patients... after 11 long months at least, hopefully I can still handle that without much problem. *Pray 
hard*
hard*As for now, I am going to read up on the unit specific stuff that I need to know in the competency checklist
...
...Gosh, anyone tell me what is "Rabbit"
