Field Accomplishment for January 09, 2024 (Day 1)

I started my immersion duty at 7:30 in the morning, after which, I introduced myself to
our Immersion Mentor, Ms. Rossana Quizon. We were then told to familiarize ourselves with the
birthing clinic. Not long after, we were given a task to convert the remaining whole cotton and
convert them to cotton balls for the clinic to use during treatment and injections. I have also been
notified that the clinic operates 24 hours during emergencies as well as several activities that
took place in NanayCare such as Blood Pressure Taking and Pre-Natal Check-up.

I have made several observations during this first day of immersion. Currently,
NanayCare has ten staff members with a two-bed capacity. Three immersion students are
allowed to reside per day in the clinic. Facilities in NanayCare include the Ward Room, Delivery
Room, Consultation Room, Scrubbing Area, and Accounting Office. Before the procedure, the
patients should take a treatment consent form as proof of approval of treatment service. I have
also been informed that Pre-Natal Patients are entitled to thorough assessment (ex: LMP, Height,
Weight, Fetal Heart Tone, Blood Pressure, Temperature, RR, PR). NanayCare also does
background checks on a number of pregnancies, deliveries, abortions, and number of living
children, including predisposing factors like DM, Hypertension, Anemia, and previous surgeries.
During the first trimester (first to three months), pre-natal check-ups should be every two to three
months. On the other hand, in the Second trimester (fourth to sixth months), pre-natal check-ups
should be every month. Lastly, in the Third Trimester (seventh to ninth months), pre-natal check-
ups should be frequent as weekly. Once the baby is delivered, treatment care will be provided
such as reviewing their APGAP Score, taking their height and weight, and giving injections of
Hepa, Vitamin K, and an Eye Ointment.

At the end of the first day of immersion, I signed out at the time of 11:05 AM, during
which I entered the Saint Joseph School of Candaba Inc. Campus with a much more different
and open understanding of the processes of pregnancy and the treatments in the clinic.
 Field Accomplishment for January 10, 2024 (Day 2)

Today’s duty started around 6:50 in the morning at the school’s clinic. We were tasked
and mentored by Ms. Alfonso to take her place in the clinic during the immersion. We were
taught the following instructions. In time of headaches, check the body temperature of the patient
using either a traditional thermometer or an infrared thermometer. If the temperature is 36°, the
patient is normal. However, if it is 37° and above, then you are recommended to prescribe
Paracetamol if the patient has no allergic reactions and had their meal already. In times of
abdominal pains, ask the patient if they had a meal or soft drinks recently that can trigger an acid
reflux, in the meantime, we’ll suggest a drink of warm water to relax their upset stomachs. In
times of nosebleeds, turn the patient’s head, pinch the nose bridge, and put a cold compress on
the forehead.

We were also tasked to sweep up the surroundings as well as inspect the drugs to
familiarize ourselves with the medicines. Upon observing, the campus clinic, I noticed that the
infirmary has a two-bed capacity, a blood pressure measurer, a height measurement, a weight
scale, and first aid essentials. At 7:16 AM, a grade 11 student asked for a Symdex. We made a
small diagnosis to know if they had recently eaten and had breakfast before eventually giving her
the medicine for her common cold. After our first encounter in giving treatment in our clinic
duty, we decided to test the regular thermometer and infrared thermometer which we confirmed
that it is working correctly with similar results. We have also observed that the clinic's cabinet
drawer has different materials per compartment. The first contains the first-aid kit like band-aids,
gauze strips, cotton balls, and iodine. The second contains the medicines, nebulizer, scale,
syringe, and menstrual pads. The third contains the clinic equipment such as a stethoscope,
infrared thermometer, flashlight, warm compress bag, and containers. Lastly, the fourth has
miscellaneous materials such as tissues, alcohol, a container, a facemask, and a first aid
backpack.

Overall, today’s duty has been enjoyable as well as educational as I have learned many
treatment instructions and experiences.

Field of Accomplishment for January 11, 2024 (Day 3)

Today’s duty started around 6:30 AM as I am assigned to the school's clinic and were
tasked with collecting health forms from Grade 1, Kinder 2, and Advanced Casa students and
returning them to the clinic adviser, Ms. Alfonso. We were also tasked with writing daily lesson
logs for various sections such as STEM-11, ABM-11, HUMSS-11, STEM-12, and GAS-12.
After a while, Ma’am Mariz, a Kinder Teacher, complained of a 36.6° fever with pain in the
nape. This is a classic symptom of a headache resulting from a cold. I then proceeded to
prescribe her Symdex for her headache.

Ms. Alfonso explained the process of wound treatment, including cleaning, disinfecting,
and drying the wound in the open air. For big open wounds, band-aids and gauze are
recommended to prevent bacteria exposure. Students were also advised to borrow hot compress
bags for menstrual cramps. A Grade 2 student soon followed to report her dizziness, which Ms.
Alfonso advised her to rest and drink plenty of fluids. After letting her rest in the clinic bed, I
then comforted her and assessed her situation, even going as far as applying a small amount of
Vicks Ointment to soothe her dizziness. Later, two consecutive students complained of
headaches. One has been advised to rest, and another has been given Salonpas due to her
temperature being 34.35° only. A little while later, we were told to gather our pens and paper as
Ms. Alfonso discussed different medications and their uses, such as Amoxicillin for bacterial
infections, Mefenamic Acid for toothache, Neozep for common colds, Cetirizine for allergies,
Symdex for colds and coughing, Salbutamol for coughing and asthma, Robitussine for dry cough
with phlegm, and Lagundi Capsule for coughing with wet phlegm. The most important lesson
learned was the importance of first-aid and treating wounds. Normal wounds should be treated
with a band-aid and a small amount of iodine, while open wounds should be cleaned with wet
wipes and betadine. Gauze strips should be used to minimize infection.
 At the end of this day of immersion, I learned vital knowledge about distinguishing the
different medicines and how they are prescribed based on the patient’s needs. I have enjoyed my
time here and hope to learn more in the campus clinic.

Field of Accomplishment for January 15, 2024 (Day 4)

At 6:30 AM, we were assigned to work under the NanayCare clinic, which was closed
and had a padlock. We then decided to temporarily take duty in serving, assisting, and
welcoming young students, specifically those students from ADVANCED CASA,
KINDERGARTEN, and GRADE 1, 2, and 3. When we see the guardians/parents of the children,
we proceed to greet them morning and carry the students’ belongings to their designated rooms.
After our short but eventful duty, we gathered the students for an outside flag ceremony, during
which, a student named Brylle cried because her sister had gone to his side. I then eased his
distress and accompanied him to the room. We also comforted and assisted the students from
ADVANCED CASA to help teachers in handling students, especially with their unpredictable
movements and acts.

After a brief visit, we were allowed to continue our duty in the birthing clinic. We were
greeted by Dr. Prudencio, the Head Doctor of Midwife, and provided background information
about his work. Our first task was cleaning and tidying the place. Luke swept the surroundings,
Joser mopped the floor, and I continued to wipe several clinic items. Shortly after our work, we
have made several observations about the PhilHealth requirements and health forms in
NanayCare with the help of Ms. Sierra. PMRD, Pre-Natal Form, Authorization Letter, Newborn
Screening Filter Card (No NSFC means No PhilHealth), CSF, CF1, CF2, and CF3 are the
collection of important requirements for PhilHealth when residing in NanayCare. We have also
been informed that Post-Partum Care will be served in the birthing clinic as well as laceration if
the baby’s head is large After a little while, most of the staff members entered the clinic to give
us the important task of organizing the patient records stocked in a filing cabinet. While Joser
was tasked to organize and segregate each patient record by month and date, Luke was in charge
of checking the written personal information of patients including the maternal clinical chart and
the newborn clinical chart. I, on the other hand, was assigned to complete and list the details that
were missing in the forms such as their parent’s name, their educational attainment, etc.

Field of Accomplishment for January 16, 2024 (Day 5)

In today’s duty, I am assigned to work under NanayCare again for our work immersion
subject. However, I entered the campus too early at 6:40 AM, and as such, the birthing clinic is
still closed. Luckily, during the period that it was still locked, I temporarily take duty in the
campus by assisting young students and delivering them to their respective rooms. I have
encountered many ADVANCED CASA students, as well as helped the parents of Grade 1 and
Grade 2 students by carrying their children’s belongings. After a little while, we soon depart
from the campus to continue our duty at NanayCare.

Our first task began in cleaning the surroundings and clinical materials. Once again, we
swept the floors, mopped it after, and wiped the surfaces of desks and chairs. For the next hour
and two, we began to complete the checking of patient records from the year 2023. While Joser
organized and segregate the folders by month, Luke and I checked and lists all the contact
information of patients as well as their incomplete details. Not long after, Luke and I shared an
idea to the midwife and ask her if she could let us learn how to take a blood pressure. She agreed
and taught us the mechanics and purposes of these instruments. Sphygmomanometer is used for
measuring the blood pressure of a patient by first applying the cuff in the upper left arm. After
that, we can proceed to press the inflation bulb, making sure we press slowly as we go to 180
degrees. Upon reaching that point, you can release the pressure by flicking a certain valve in the
instrument. Our mentor told us that we can then go ahead and count the first loud beat, or in the
medical term- Systolic Pressure. On the other hand, when we hear the very next beat, then that is
the Diastolic Pressure. We can then compute the blood pressure based on their Systolic and
Diastolic Pressure, which for a normal healthy person, is a score of 120 over 80. We were also
taught how to use the Stethoscope as a way to hear the heartbeats of patient. After she taught us
the basics of these medical instruments, the midwife let us to practice on each other to
familiarize ourselves in counting heartbeats and measuring blood pressure.

Field of Accomplishment for January 17, 2024 (Day 6)

Today’s duty started at 7:00 in the morning. Even though I was assigned to the campus
clinic for today’s work immersion, I still assisted many young students and brought their
belongings to their designated classrooms. This ballet of greeting the parents, delivering the bags
of students, and comforting them up to their rooms continued until I eventually entered the clinic
to start my duty. While in this campus clinic, we maintain cleanliness by sweeping the floor,
organizing materials, and throwing out disposable trash. We decided to once again practice using
the sphygmomanometer and stethoscope and see if we remembered what we had learned in
yesterday’s duty at NanayCare. Unfortunately, upon multiple observations and tests, we have
learned that the sphygmomanometer doesn’t quite work well and probably has an inflation bulb
defect as it is unable to create a pressure up to 180 mmHg.

However, we soon met with the sad news that starting today, three or more people are
prohibited from working in the clinic. Upon considering all the details, it has been decided that
Luke will be leaving the clinic duty and serving in helping advanced casa students. We also
talked about how tomorrow’s duty is my turn of departure in the clinic and the next day is for
Joser’s. Meanwhile, to prepare my clinic partner for any challenges in the clinic, I decided to
teach him about all the medicine’s names, purposes, and instructions for the patients which he
listened attentively. Our discussion was temporarily interrupted as a grade 1 student entered the
room complaining of a slight headache with a 36.6°. I comforted her and gave her some rest
while we prepared her medications. While Joser assessed her situation, I made preparations as I
gathered a measuring cup and the Tempra Paracetamol. After a while, another student from
grade 8 entered the clinic to report her need for Salonpas due to her body pain. Ma’am Alfonso
also arrived during this period and has requested us to distribute the packs of facemasks to
kinder, two sections of grade 1, grade 3, and grade 4.

Field of Accomplishment for January 18, 2024 (Day 7)

In today’s duty, my work immersion schedule has been interrupted as we have a cheer
dance practice. Fortunately, I continued my duty at 9:40 AM in the classroom of Grade 4-
Aquamarine with the teacher, Sir Alvin. I was tasked to follow Sir Alvin in every classroom he
went to, and thus, there I observed the students and listened to them while they discussed writing
and reading decimal values. During my stay there, I experienced students being noisy and
rambunctious but still considerably active as they participated in the recitations. However, Mr.
Alvin has had enough, as he scolded the students fighting over a pretentious and childish issue,
an unexplained smell. The whole class turned silent for one second, and active once more. In the
midst of this chaotic cycle of shushing and fighting, the teacher still patiently taught the others
that are confused. After the lesson discussion, Sir Alvin started an activity to test what the
students had learned in reading and writing decimal numbers. After the activity, I checked a
pupil’s answers and assisted another when his belongings fell within out of his reach. The class
ended when the lunch break started and a student announced that the audition for SJSC’s Got
Talent was starting soon. I then got my well-deserved lunch break at 10:50.

However, at 11:00 AM, I continued my duty at Sir Alvin’s class as the lunch period
ended. The topic for today’s Science subject is the Reproduction of Plants. The class soon
became active, as a young student approached Sir Alvin and gave him a jar filled with
Grasshoppers. The teacher threatened playfully the students that if they were still stubborn, he
would release the jar’s container. This causes the students to go crazy, shouting, and even going
as far as leaving the area. It was really a fun and enjoyable moment. Once the class started, Mr.
Alvin illustrated the figure of a flower and the parts of their anatomy. I can see that even if the
students appear to be talkative and chaotic, they still have respect for their teacher as they
listened attentively and enjoyed the lesson.

Field of Accomplishment for January 19, 2024 (Day 8)

Today’s duty started around 6:50 in the morning as I am assigned to work under the
campus clinic. While waiting for the clinic to open, I assist students and their guardians by
greeting them morning, carrying their belongings, and chatting them for a while. This charade of
finding a student in need, approaching their parents and their vehicles, and delivering them to
their respective rooms. We then go to the school’s clinic, sweeping the floor, cleaning the
windows and surfaces, and tidying up clinic beds. We were then tasked to provide the health
forms for the grade 2 students and inform them to pass it until Monday. Shortly after, we were
told to gather alcohol bottles from each section to refill them back in the clinic. We got a long
and uneventful period of rest, during which we were allowed to take a snack break and talk with
our fellow classmates for a bit.

After a long wait, we were finally told that the doctor soon will be coming and as such,
we hastily gathered ourselves and clean the meeting room. While others sweep the floor and
inform others, I mopped the floor. Soon, the doctor arrived and immediately taught us in the
presentation of the information and procedures regarding the use of sphygmomanometer,
stethoscope, and the hypertension levels. I noted every important detail during her talk and even
got myself to be the first practice patient. At first, I was struggling at finding the pulse and even
forgot the specifics of measuring it but as time progress, I began to be familiarized and finally
able to complete it. I practiced on my fellow classmate, Wayne, during which, I successfully
tried and measured his blood pressure which I got a 120/80.
 I did it as I followed the doctor’s instructions and procedures in using every part of the
instrument. I am so exhilarated at that moment as I heard a loud four heartbeats, the sounds of
Systolic Pressure and Diastolic Pressure. I hope to experience these things again during the
13
medical mission in the upcoming month.

Field of Accomplishment for January 23, 2024 (Day 9)

For today’s duty, I was originally assigned to work under the NanayCare birthing clinic.
However, due to numerous circumstances such as morning cheer dancing practices, changing of
clothes, and overall tiredness from the early day, I have decided to enter the campus clinic
instead. I have to note that due to the reasons mentioned above, I have timed in comparably late.

At 10:00 in the morning, I worked under the clinic and helped Ms. Alfonso in organizing
the bed and fixing the materials. Fortunately, she gave me a short period to take a rest from the
cheer dance. I was asked by Ms. Alfonso if I had brought my laptop for today’s duty. Upon
knowing that I had my laptop brought up today, I was assigned to continue her ECR of Grade 11
STEM B. With the list of names Ms. Alfonso gave me earlier, I finished updating the ECR as I
changed every detail including the subject, section, and the names of male and female students.
After that, I was given a task to complete and list her daily lesson log from her subjects. I have
been ordered to use cursive in writing the lesson logs to provide professionalism and to make the
message clear. With no patients entering, I was given free time to review for my quiz in EAPP,
which I have to thank Ms. Alfonso, for considering her immersion students.

Though this immersion duty was short, I felt how it must compare to when I am in a real
medical setting. How even a lot of things happen during your short period of work. I hope to
experience this again after our cheer dancing competition.
 14

Field of Accomplishment for January 26, 2024 (Day 10)

Today’s duty started at 7:00 in the morning as I am currently scheduled to work under the
clinic for the morning and practice our cheer dance for the rest of the day. While waiting for the
clinic duty, I decided to assist young students in delivering their belongings to their respective
rooms. As usual, we would wait for oncoming students, greet their guardians politely, and
proceed to serve and help the students to their classrooms.

After that, Luke and I proceeded to the clinic and we immediately swept the floor, tidied
up the clinical beds, and cleaned the surfaces. Ms. Alfonso tasked us to list and count all the
medicines/utilities available in the clinic. This is to ensure that any shortages in supplies will
avoided and to keep count of what medicines or utilities need to be refilled. Not long after, Sir
Ronel entered the clinic to report sneezes due to allergy and asked for cetirizine. Before giving
him the medicine, we informed him that a common side-effect of that medicine is sleepiness.
Nonetheless, he still decided to take the medicine and we listed all the details in the clinic’s
record book as usual. We also organized the items on the cabinet such as the tissue rolls, wet
wipes, and facemasks. After that, we were ordered by Ms. Alfonso to find the missing hot
compress bags that are important and needed for menstrual cramps and abdominal pains. Luke
and I investigated grades 7, 8, 9, and 10 to find out whether a student in that section had recently
borrowed a hot compress bag from the clinic. In the end, no bags were discovered in the
mentioned grades but a hot compress bag was found to be used by Ms. Quito. After a short
period, we were told to rest and wait for any upcoming patients.
 Though no strange or unexpected experiences have happened for today’s duty, I still
admired the simplicity of our work experience. I am hoping to experience and learn more in my
immersion duty after the foundation week at SJSC.
15

Field of Accomplishment for January 29, 2024 (Day 11)

Today’s duty occurred for only a short period of one hour while working in the clinic for
immersion. This is because I am not supposed to work for today but for various circumstances, I
am allowed to work for emergency purposes. During our lunch break, Ms. Alfonso sighted me
and asked me for permission to work a while in the clinic so that she could get a well-deserved
lunch break. I then reluctantly agreed and proceeded to the clinic to find a resting patient.

There, a Grade 1 student had a slight fever of 37.6 degrees and was advised to rest in bed
and drink warm water, while I further assessed any symptoms. Shortly, a couple of Grade 11
female students entered nervously while laughing uncontrollably as they were too shy to ask for
menstrual pads. But sadly, the clinic lacks the supplies for today, so I advised them to ask for the
teachers in the faculty room for extra. I tended to the grade 1 student and played with her, asking
her about what she felt and what she was up to in their cheer dance practice. She seems pretty
lively but also keeps on reminding me to let her go to her grade 9 brother's classroom to rest for
the lunch break. I later agreed with her proposition as long as she had taken her fever medicine,
drank lots of water, and had a decent rest all while wearing a facemask to avoid contamination.
Later, a Grade 11 student asked for a medicine for cold. However, there was no Symdex so I
instead advised her to take either a Cetirizine, which has a sleep side effect, or a Neozep, for
headaches due to cold. She decided to take the latter and I advised her to rest if needed. Not long
after, Ms. Alfonso finished her break and I got to join my practice for cheer dance. Moments like
this where emergencies and urgent notices happen around the clinic are vital for my learning
experience, and thus, I cherish these experiences.
 16

Field of Accomplishent for February 05, 2024 (Day 12)

Today's duty started around 7:00 in the morning and as we waited for the clinic to open,
we decided to assist the students and bring their belongings to their respective rooms. Later on,
we found that NanayCare is closed for today, and as such we are to work for the campus clinic
for immersion. Our duty was stopped as a flag ceremony occurred as well as an announcement
regarding the opening of intramural sports, the torch lighting, and the new SJSC hymn.

On our way back to the campus clinic, a patient was already there resting. Ms. Perez, one
of the admin staff, was lying in the clinic bed due to her body pain and mild fever symptoms.
Several teachers from various departments attended the clinic just to comfort, ask questions, and
know whether she had felt better. Not long after, we were tasked to count and organize the
medical and dental mission forms. 138 current forms are in the hands of Ms. Alfonso, which we
also divided into two sets of 50 copies and a set of 38 copies. We were also informed that 300
copies of the form are the target amount that is needed for the upcoming event and thus, we were
told to ask the IT department for 50 more form copies.

Shortly after, Ms. Jean, a senior high school teacher, asked for Paracetamol due to her
headache. A grade 3 student had repeated visits to the clinic due to his stomachache, probably
from what he had eaten earlier. Ms. Jesusa later entered the clinic to ask for a band-aid, cotton
balls, and betadine for her student's open scratch wound. Later, a grade 8 student borrowed the
hot compress for menstrual cramps, which we gave on the promise that they would later be
returned. A grade 12 student complained of too much acid in her stomach, and thus we
recommended her to take an Omeprazole. Later, our duty is finished as lunch break approaches.
 17

Field of Accomplishment for February 07, 2024 (Day 13)

For today’s work immersion, I began my duty at 07:00 in the morning, as Ms. Alfonso
instructed us to take charge of the clinic while she was busy teaching the senior high school
students in their respective rooms. Shortly after, we cleaned the surfaces, swept the floor, and
even let the janitor mop the room. Our critic also informed and allowed us to review for our
upcoming quizzes and quiz bee competition while there was still no patient in the clinic.

Soon after, a Grade 1 student complained of her painful stomachache, emphasizing her
intense pain with tears around her cheeks and a distraught facial expression. She and her teacher
had told us that she needed to go home for further treatment. This is because the patient
continuously refuses to drink warm water and her to lie down for a while to get some rest.
Nonetheless, we continued assisting her and trying our best to divert her attention to her
stomachache. Meanwhile, a constant flow of students, mostly from Grade 3 and Grade 8, has
entered the clinic for band-aids to treat the minor cuts on their fingers. To comfort the mentioned
Grade 1 patient, we decided to call her “sister” and friend from Grade 11 STEM-A and help us
comfort her in a much better way. She eventually persuaded the patient to drink her warm water,
rest in bed, and eat her snacks.

Shortly, we returned to the clinic to find Ms. Alfonso reviewing for her LET exams
through online LET drills. We found out that by watching with her the drills, we can learn bits of
information that can be questioned at the quiz bee competition. After that, a fellow classmate
called to let us know that the competition was starting. We said goodbyes and wished good luck
to our teacher and ended today’s immersion.

Field of Accomplishment for February 08, 2024 (Day 14)

My shift began at seven in the morning, and I was given the responsibility of working for
the campus clinic. I spent some time reviewing my lectures for today's topics while I was in the
clinic. Mr. Villasenor entered the clinic to talk with Ms. Alfonso about the procedures for the
Medical and Dental Mission and the locations of each individual field operation, interrupting my
evaluation. Luke joined the clinic shortly after. As usual, we cleaned the cabinets and mattresses
in the room together. Several kids requested bandages for little cuts during my visit to the clinic;
another student required Cetirizine for a runny nose; and a teacher received Paracetamol for a
headache.

Upon learning that we were reviewing lectures for her subject’s quiz, Ms. Alfonso
allowed us and gave us time to review and discuss the quiz later in class, as long as there were no
patients in the clinic. Soon after, Ms. Alfonso told us to call out the Grade 11 students who still
hadn’t taken the “Komunikasyon” subject quiz, we were also advised to let them know that the
venue for the retaking of the quiz would be held on the clinic today. Later, Ms. Alfonso asked for
help in sketching the school map for the Medical and Dental Mission venue, which we openly
obliged and quickly helped in drawing and labeling important details such as room numbers.

After their quiz, we were ordered to make “number tickets” for the upcoming Medical
and Dental Mission, which will be used as an easy way to tell apart the patients. We used my
laptop to design our number of tickets. We constructed a table in Word, making sure to make it
the right size, just big enough to fit through 5 pages. In the end, we managed to type 1-300
numbers and proceeded to send the file to Ms. Alfonso. After Ms. Alfonso had finished printing
it in the office, I borrowed scissors from Grade 9 and moved to cut the individual numbers. After
the work was done, we were given a short break to eat and rest. Later, we signed out of the clinic
19
as we had our lunch break.

Field of Accomplishment for February 10, 2024 (Day 15)

I was not given any clinic duties for today's immersion; instead, I'm taking part in the
annual Bubble Color Fun Run, which is taking place at Saint Joseph School of Candaba Inc.
Upon entering the campus gate, I was greeted by a lengthy queue of fellow participants. To
receive our registration sticker number and the complimentary water bottle included in the
payment package, I signed the registration form and supplied my tickets. After that, my friends
and I waited for the announcement and shot pictures of each other to save the memories and have
fun while we waited for it to begin.

Not long later, teachers from different departments led a Zumba dance on the flagpole.
We volunteered and danced till we were nearly out of breath for the competition. Soon after,
there was an announcement, directing everyone to prepare for the opening of the university
gates. I started to run, but we were fairly late because we were in the last batch to advance. I
quickly kept up with others and ran my way to the race, so all hope was not lost. Before long, I
recognized Wayne, a fellow student in our division. Wayne and I placed a bet on who would
arrive on campus first while we were at the Musni Station, so we ran as fast as we could.

Eventually, we arrived at the school, but regrettably, we were exhausted and experiencing
some leg cramps. A few youngsters soaked in the bubble machine and sprayed each other with
water cannons loaded with colored water while others snapped selfies. In contrast, I take a nap in
an adjacent room and consume the complimentary "lugaw with egg" that is included in the
payment package. Following the fun run, the winners of the races were declared and prizes were
distributed close to the flagpole. I had a great time dancing to another Zumba class later with my
buddies at the flagpole. It was indeed an unforgettable experience filled with loud laughter, lots
20
of dances, a face filled with color powder, and numerous damped clothes laced with bubbles and

every hue.

Field of Accomplishment for February 11, 2024 (Day 16)

For today’s duty, I was neither assigned to the NanayCare clinic nor the campus clinic.
This is due to the fact that recently, the school asked for any volunteer students that are willing to
help and assist in the upcoming medical and dental mission. Today is that day, and I began my
duty by helping in cutting the paper forms for adults’ vital signs. After that, all the volunteers are
called to assigned everyone in their own stations and service to provide. I was tasked to check
the vital signs of adults, specifically the Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate, and the Temperature of the
patients. After I was done in practicing on how to attain the mentioned vital signs, numerous
patients come flooding in. I was simultaneously practicing the procedures while experiencing it
first-hand. A “rush hour” began at 9:00AM which means a continuous flow of patients and their
forms. While on my duty, a stapler run out and even a slight problem occurred as the
thermometer was missing. A lot of pressure and patience happened as different people are lined
up in our vital signs station.

Later, a signal of hope arrived. A team of professional doctors and volunteers from
different places arrived. From midwifes of NanayCare clinic, to the doctors of Rotary Club of
Venezuela. In fact, those same group of people actually took pictured with me while I was
practicing in taking the blood pressure. Soon, I take a short break to check my blood type, which
frankly, hurts a bit. Later the results came in to found out that I am a blood A positive.
Afterwards, I took medical forms so I can proceed in getting a free check-up, which the doctor
prescribes me Cetirizine and Vitamin C supplements. While getting a check-up, I had lots of talk
with the doctor and gave me plenty of life advices regarding my course, even going as far to
convince me in pursuing the nursing course as a ladder for completing a doctorate degree.

It was really an enjoyable experience, filled with surprises, patience, professionalism, and 21
learning insights.

Field of Accomplishment for February 14, 2024 (Day 17)

My immersion training ended today, which ironically happened to be Valentine's Day. I

got permission to work at the clinic early, so I tidied up the clinic bed. Additionally, I arranged
any supplies like warm compresses. I chose to complete the Craftech Club assignment of making
"flower lollipops" while I waited for more patients. Soon after entering the clinic, a third-grader
accompanied by Ma'am Rachelle mentioned having a little cut on his knee. We made a solution
and used cotton and betadine to treat the wound because the clinic had run out of Band-Aids at
the time. Ma'am Rachelle bandaged the wound and then used gauze tape to seal it.

Wayne, a student, went into the clinic to get some rest from sports-related exhaustion.
Even after taking his temperature, I continued to tell him to relax and drink lots of water. My
immersion critic, Ma'am Alfonso, arrived at the clinic shortly after with a fever and a bad cold. I
completed the flower lollipops. Shortly after, she had given me to watch over the clinic while I
waited for patients to arrive. I then sold them to my classmates. After that, I returned to the clinic
and worked on revising the research paper, especially the consent form. A fifth-grade kid arrived
at the clinic with a sprained left leg from being struck by a swing too hard.

After applying a hot compress to the injured leg, I finished my duty shift because no
further patients arrived. It was a restful yet rewarding final day of work

Reflection of Accomplishment
(Day 1 to Day 8)

In the span of 17 days, consisting of 82 hours and 5 minutes, I have acquired several
learning experiences and values. Being in a clinic requires the skills of being observant of the
surroundings and being alert to any changes, especially in times of emergency. I learned the
importance of cleanliness, patience, organization, and observing in the school's clinic.
Additionally, I must maintain composure at all times and evaluate students' situations
before giving out treatments or prescriptions. I also gained responsibility and thoroughness,
particularly when it came to reviewing medical records.

I have developed into a more responsible and meticulous person, especially in organizing
and checking medications and supplies. I have also learned to adapt to unexpected moments,
such as emergencies, by making rapid decisions and thinking outside the box. I have observed to
handle constant patients by being efficient and critical thinker. Working independently and being
able to react quickly to changes is a critical ability for anyone working in medicine. Most
importantly, at the end of this 80+ hours of immersion, I have finally comprehended the
mechanics and purposes of sphygmomanometers and patient pulse. These skills will be useful in
the nursing field in the future. I would continue to cherish these slices of moments that both gave
me wonderful learning experiences and valuable growth to my character. May I learn more
regarding my field immersion and acquire important insights that will help me grow and
develop. .
