From GSC (with Love)

Hello! I know it’s been a while again. We just got back from a 3-day stay at Gen. Santos City yesterday. It was a not a pleasure trip (though we managed to squeeze in some malling time when our work for the day was through. A friend was even visited by one of her long time friends. From what I gathered, he’s offering her an extended service plan. Yeah, I am that nosey! Haha!).

Anyway, we went there for a consultation with some chief LGU executives and key players  from the the neighboring provinces. To be included in the team of 11 facilitators and documenters is an honor! I initially thought that documenting would be a difficult job because I find it hard to keep track of what people say and put them on paper. Thank God for laptops, I did well. And not to mention our group was composed of only 4 police officers and 1 LGU official. Like what I’ve been saying, my work as a documenter was a breeze because the police officers were men of few words. Haha! My group’s facilitator was one of my former college professors and it was great working with him. And modestly aside, among the series of consultations, this one that we facilitated and documented is the best! (That’s according to the organizers!)

All in all, it was new and refreshing experience. It was a nice time too, to meet new and old acquaintances. The team was ecstatic that we did so well. We’re all hoping that it would not be the first and the last time that we work together. I feel happy and fulfilled too, to be working for something grand as this one. We are all hopeful that we have somehow contributed to the achievement of elusive peace in Mindanao.

Tramadol

Wondering where to buy tramadol? Check out TramadolBluebook.com, where you can find the best licensed online pharmacies that lets you buy tramadol without prescription. The website was founded by a medical doctor last 2006 in order to assist consumers to safely purchase and save their hard earned money on pain relievers. Before posting the sites, it thoroughly checks the credentials of the best online pharmacies so that consumers can compare prices and eventually buy online tramadol without the hassle of leaving the comfort of their homes.

For those who are unaware, tramadol is used to treat severe to mild pain. It was developed by a German pharmaceutical company sometime in 1970. Tramadol is usually well-tolerated and the side effects are temporary. Some reported side effects of tramadol includes constipation, dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting. Some patients taking tramadol reported to have experienced seizures. Less commonly reported side effects are dry mouth, diarrhea, rash, visual disturbances, vertigo and itching.

Tramadol comes in various forms: immediate release and extended release formulations. Most often, patients with chronic pain that require continuous and long term treatment are administered with extended release tablets. It is the doctor’s duty to determine the correct

dosage schedule of tramadol for a patient, depending on the extent of pain and the illness.

One should be extremely cautious when taking tramadol. Combining it with certain other substances like alcohol, narcotic drugs and sedatives can increase central nervous system and respiratory depression.

For some people, tramadol can be habit-forming. Thus, it is best not to take more than what has been prescribed. Also, one should not stop taking tramadol without consulting one’s physician. Withdrawal symptoms are likely to occur when one stops taking it suddenly. The best possible way is to decrease the dose of tramadol gradually per doctor’s advice.

Board Exam for Nursing November 2009 Result

I was already preparing to sleep when I received a message from Roy saying that the result of the licensure exam for nurses last November 2009 is released. See the complete list here.

I am so happy for my former student leaders, Lianne and Neil. They made it! I just talked to them and we are all joyful about the great news! They so deserve this since they worked hard for it.

Congrats to all new nurses!

We Want her Back

Before going home this afternoon, my companion and I went to visit our sick colleague, our office secretary at the hospital. She has been confined there for almost 3 days now. It is good that she finally realized that hers are no ordinary illnesses and that she needs medical intervention to get better. We found lying on the bed but conscious. Her sister, who was doing an admin job search online at that time when we arrived, was the one attending to her needs. She was delighted to see us. She shared how she had been and how inconvenient it was for a workaholic like her to be staying in bed most of the time. She is now feeling better, she claimed. Hopefully, she will be discharged tomorrow, though I doubt if she is already able and fit to report for work early next week.

Before we left, I told her to recover fast because the office is not the same without her. I did miss her. We all missed her. Even our students and other clients miss her presence. We all want her back! And soon!
