During the first week of duty, I was

of the school. Although labeled as
the modern day "blood

ever blood extraction is undeniably
real.
Things that should be keep in mind
is “Always check if it is properly
labeled before accepting it.” The
other one is
“Patient care comes first”.

treated as if known to be infectious
for blood borne pathogens."

SYNTHESIS:

Internship, one of the most awaited part in the journey of becoming Registered Medical Technologist. I was both excited and scared on my first day. I was curious about
everything that I could see, smell and hear. I was excited because everything was new to me. It is a great opportunity to let us experience what is waiting for us in the future. Our
staffs are there to train us to be a capable and effective Medical Technologist. Though sometimes they got mad at us because of a mistake in following their instructions, we are
advised not to take it personally because they do it o shape us into a better Medical Technologist. There is no room for carelessness. I go home tired; I’d rather sleep than studying.

Regardless all the stress, internship has a lot of fun that you can experience. You will need time to adapt with the staffs, senior interns, and all people around you.
However, these people around you are also fun to be with. You get to hear different stories from patients and watchers. Patience and understanding is necessary during internship.
You need to have confidence and most specially faith in God because it is not easy to deal with patients, the laboratory staffs as well your co-interns

During my first ward extraction, I was hesitant and scared to draw blood from those patients in the ward just by seeing their condition already breaks my heart. It is then that I realized
this is what I am for. Giving them a smile of encouragement and a little comfort is I think enough already to remind them that there is still hope and keep holding. A simple “thank you”
from patients is enough to make my day. Six months was not a long time but it meant a lot to me. It was not only a great clinical experience meanwhile, I knew more about the
meaning of life and the responsibilities I had.

Being part of the allied medical field eats up time for family, time for friends and time for yourself. However, one thing is for sure someday it will be worth all the sacrifices.

RECOMMENDATIONS

There are no suggestions the school must do because I think they’ve done their part. We felt their support and already told us beforehand what would internship in a hospital would
be. The challenges and obstacles we are going to face is enough for us to be warned and be ready. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually we should prepare all of it. Patience
and understanding is needed to survive. Always have a positive outlook in life to be enjoying what you do.
