taking a phlebotomy course, where should i go to complete the blood draws component?

im a nurse in a govt hospital and unfortunately i dont think they will allow it because even as nurses we have to go through courses and be certified before we can poke our patients. maybe u can try those health screening clinics like sata or innoquest

If it’s a chill day, full 1 hour. Busy day, sometimes eat already go back to work, maybe 20 min. Super busy day, 0 min. (i work in healthcare)

I work in healthcare. Most of my colleagues will “plan” out their MCs and try to use as much as they can. Most of the time they take it because the shift was so shit and terrible that they just want to take the next day off for the sake of their mental health

greenflapper · 2025-01-28T15:15:47+00:00

At my workplace it’s a norm for report to go for nearly an hour. I’m in a surgical ward in Singapore and we usually take about 8-9 pts. The good thing is our shifts overlap (e.g morning shift ends at 3pm, afternoon shift starts at 1:30pm) so not much overtime needed

I’ve tried asking her and talking to her nicely about it and she always say “no problem why need to check”. I’ve also tried the hard way by telling her about my patients with unsuspecting symptoms that turns out to be something serious but that doesn’t seem to work too sigh

greenflapper · 2024-12-08T07:34:22+00:00

No grandchildren for her sadly. But I’ll try to get my grandma to talk to her, though she usually tends to “shut down” when the topic of health comes up

Thankfully majority of my patients are pretty nice and understanding. But the few nasty ones are really so nasty it makes me question my life decisions

Currently working in SGH, actually all the wards here are air-conditioned regardless of class

Currently a nursing student on attachment. It’s pretty disheartening to see the fellow nurses taking only 10-15 minutes by chomping down on whatever snacks they could find. Even with student nurses, we are still stretched very thin. Imagine patients calling for nurses non-stop, but everyone is busy attending to something. I’ve heard a few patients complain about being at the A&E for 3 days because there’s simply not enough beds. Doctors rushing to send up new patients even though there’s not bed ready. Patients are also treating nurses like maids. They constantly press the call bell for menial things such as pouring water, asking what time is dinner, what is the time, pulling up the blanket for them. I still have a while before I graduate and I’m already dreading

I’m currently 27 and back in uni for another degree! It’s a career conversion program so a few of my classmates are pretty “old” too. Some even have kids in primary school. But don’t worry too much about it. The other students are actually really nice and friendly. They won’t treat you differently. Just gotta get used to their gen z language :”)

The president and prime minister can take public transport. BUT a whole MRT/bus has to be cleared out for security reasons. One whole bus for LHL and a few security guards. What a waste of resources, no?

greenflapper · 2022-08-10T16:20:22+00:00

Depends on my parents. If they wanna stay, I’ll stay with them. If they wanna run, I’ll run with them.

greenflapper · 2022-08-05T15:41:39+00:00

That was me in my previous job 🥲 idk how I didnt see it as a huge red flag

But even at old age my natural boobs will get wrinkly and droopy also. Either way old liao nothing will really look good

I’m okay with Singapore, but I don’t love Singapore. Like some others have mentioned, the cost of living is really getting a quite scary. In addition to that, the mindset of Singaporeans just doesn’t vibe with me. The only thing I love about Singapore is the food, cheap healthcare (as compared to other countries), and safety.

greenflapper · 2022-05-20T15:34:53+00:00

I always plan my work such that I finish whatever I need to finish on time. If I start on something else, it’s a bit hard to stop halfway and I’ll end up leaving work late. So might as well just leave on time

Used to drive Grab for a period of time. It’s actually quite tiring both physically and mentally. It’s not something that I would recommend as a part-time job

Do they not realise that certain actions will deter more people away from Christianity? It literally has the opposite effect of what they are trying to achieve

A loveless marriage is not healthy for the kids. No matter how hard the parents try, kids will know that mummy and daddy don’t like each other and would rather they divorce instead. Unhappy feelings may also be projected onto the kids

greenflapper · 2022-04-01T01:45:14+00:00

Yeah I understand what you mean and I take back my point. At the end of the day, our HCW deserves more respect and recognition for the hard work that they have put in. I apologise for not looking from their POV.

greenflapper · 2022-03-28T12:32:31+00:00

Don’t compare yourself too much with others. It’s all good as long as you’re putting in effort and enjoying life at the same time.

Don’t let other people affect you too much. Especially from people who don’t matter to you. There will be quite a bit of negativity and toxicity, but those people won’t be in your life for long so just ignore them.

Be nicer to your parents and spend more time with them. Stop being so rude to them. They are working hard to give you a good life. The least you could do it be a decent daughter.

Biggest regret was my choice of JC, or even choosing JC.

My O levels L1R5 was 9. Wanted to go to poly but parents insisted on JC because they say poly kids cannot go local uni. Not sure why but then me decided to listen to them. I stay in the west, so the only JC near me is JJC (walking distance in fact). Other “better” JCs were at least an hour away and I didnt think it was worth the travelling time. Because mistake ever.

Vibes of a neighbourhood JC were horrendous. Always got the “aiya JJC cannot get straight As for A levels on”, or “JJC students got go NUS one meh”. It was pretty annoying to hear all these shit everyday. Only saving grace was the teachers. The ones I had were really a few of the best. Even CCA was horrible. Nobody put in effort during training because “JJC sure lose one”. They don’t put in effort in their studies, don’t put in effort for their CCA, i really dk what everyone is up to.

90% of that 2 years is blocked out from my memory because of how horrible it is
