REFLECTION PAPER ABOUT MY WORK IMMERSION JOURNEY
(DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCHOOL AND WORK)
My time at the Ormoc District Hospital in the pediatric clinic and Malasakit
Center was truly enlightening. Unlike the familiar routine of school where lessons are
found in textbooks, being in the hospital exposed me to real-life situations that
required quick thinking and problem-solving skills. In school, everything is laid out in
advance, but each day at the hospital brought new and unexpected challenges,
making me adapt and learn on the go.
Working in the hospital showed me the impact we can have on the lives of
others. In school, the main goal is often to memorize facts and pass exams, but in the
hospital, every action directly impacted the well-being of the patients we served.
This hands-on experience emphasized the importance of compassion and empathy in
healthcare, teaching me that these qualities are just as crucial as medical knowledge.
It was a powerful lesson in understanding that caring for others goes beyond
textbooks and tests. My time in the pediatric clinic and Malasakit Center also
deepened my appreciation for the dedicated healthcare professionals I had the
privilege of working alongside. Their commitment to providing quality care and
support to every patient inspired me to strive for excellence in whatever I choose to
pursue. Witnessing their tireless efforts and selfless dedication redefined my
understanding of teamwork and reinforced the importance of collaboration in
achieving positive outcomes in the healthcare setting. Their mentorship and guidance
not only enhanced my practical skills but also introduced me in a sense of
responsibility and compassion that will undoubtedly shape my future in the healthcare
field.
On my second day of working in Ormoc District Hospital, since there were only
a few patients who needed to be checked up that day, all I did was clean the clinic
properly, arrange and organize the baby books, and cut some printed laboratory slips
and RX for them to be used the next day. In the afternoon, I recorded the list of the
patients who were checked up on that day and forwarded it to the registrar for final
checking.
On my eighth day at Ormoc District Hospital, our day began with cleaning the
center, where we swept the floor and organized and arranged papers that required
cutting. Our main responsibility was to assist patients who required government
financial assistance. This involved attaching their documents, such as lab results and
prescription papers, to recycled bond paper and stapling them together with their
payment slip and Barangay indigency certification. Working alongside my partner, we
processed approximately a lot of forms from patients throughout the day.
Additionally, after completing our tasks, we took the time to review and organize any
scratch papers, adding them to the stack of used papers for the following day.
As today is my last day, we began our tenth day at Ormoc District Hospital in
Malasakit Center by sweeping the floor and organizing the paperwork that needed to
be cut. Next, we pasted a lot of prescription paper, laboratory results, and discharge
slips on used bond paper and attached them together with their payment slip and the
barangay indigency certification. In a single day, my colleague and I finished a large
number of patient forms. We also spent some time going through and organizing any
scrap paper we might have had, adding it to the stack of papers we'll use the
following day. Our managers and other staff members gave us food for snacks, and
after that, we cleaned the center and the area of the staff members before we left.
