This is the very first time we're doing a 100% grade for our return demonstration of various nursing procedures. Last semester, they were okay with an 85% so during our first day orientation we were just in total shock to have known that if we do not get a perfect score we automatically take the remediation. We were all against it and even complained but what can we do? It was the new imposed rule. Something we can do nothing about. We were all pressured and there was even a point that i cried in school 3 times. Fortunately, I didn't have to take any remediations. Although, I really feel so much for my friends who had one mistake for the most mababaw reason because...memorizing checklists is never easy. It never is. I think that the clinical instructors should've been a little bit lenient during Ret. Dems.
Anyway, after all we've been through for 5 days of Skills lab. I have finally understood the essence of pushing the students to aim higher. It really is for our own benefit and nothing will really happen if we always complain and whine with all the changes that's been happening. We thought it was impossible to get a 100% but we did. And it's just amazing because a friend of mine who never studied so much for a Ret. Dem. started kicking his butt off and even got a 100%.
With all honesty, that was the first time again that I felt so good to have achieved something. I mean, it's not even something so big or great but when you know that you did all you could and put all effort into something you really want - and you get it at the end of the day, even if you're dead tired and you feel like all your neurons have died - you feel so much happier and fulfilled.
