A Life That Counts

This day wasn't the best day nor the worst , just a bit weighty. Though, I believe God permits everything to happen, whatever the reason we can trust it is always for the better. Last night, I asked and prayed for a thing deeply that it made me fall tears. The next happenings are probably the answers. Maybe I wasn't supposed to be rude like how others are rude towards me for pale reasons. Maybe I should have had more patience, more understanding on what people shows probably are reflections of their inner struggles were unaware of. I am Christians taught of good works in its truest sense, remaining gentle in the arena of self- serving and know- it- all crowd, is but a strength of heart. It is easier to release anger than to keep a it cool. On the other hand, maybe, I wasn't made to fit in. That's why I need God in my life. Days are tough, people are selfish. I need God to help me get through them. Nevertheless, I am beyond blessed. Appreciations f...

I may not be blessed with beauty or other things that would be great to have but to know that God hears my prayer is more than enough. Never lose faith Always be grateful for the smaller things You are beyond blessed... Sherry Jane Mercines RN 2018

My endless thanks to God that I was able to practice my profession as a nurse. This facility guided me on how to be a good one.  This year had been tremendously awesome. I had both experienced bliss and tragedy. I had seen life and death on a frequent basis. My knowledge grew but I felt it wasn't enough yet. I've been an instrument to heal the broken spirits, while at the same time I was fixing mine. I grew stronger than I could ever imagine, because God never left me alone. And so I was grateful. A year ago I thought I was forbidden, but that thought never sank me deep enough to break me. I was embraced back by my family and was brought to a bigger family that enlightened me more to pursue the purpose of my being- this calling. I am celebrating my year with you, Apalit Doctor's Hospital. Thanks be to God! Sherry Jane Mercines, R.N.  

                        Aside from exposure to occupational hazards, nurses too are at risk from developing ill conditions mainly from self care deficit, which means neglecting self- duties. Most of the times they are committed to preserving and saving lives rather than looking up for themselves.            So to help our nurses, I have prepared a list on how to stay fit and healthy without compromising their jobs                           Make an exercise routine.                        It always start on not being too hard on yourself. Yes, it feels challenging that you want to try out a new dance craze or scheduling a run 2 hours a day. I don’t discourage you to do so. However, making simple steps at a time like 1 hour walk for week/ att...

                                                              I was chasing the chills with a cup of coffee in the morning. I regret not to see the rays of the sun nor her downfall on the way to and home from the hospital. It must have been a lovely escape from the torments between death and life game.               I was enthusiastic to have good one til I step on the room. My patient from yesterday was dried out of IVF and she was lying, the same position I saw from yesterday--the same affect, the same coldness, the same immobility but her  daughter insists they had a brisk walk before I came in. If it's a lie or not, I do not know. She has no medications at the bedside and I was wondering why. I made a prescription to get another bottle of IVF to consume for there's no ...

Prematurity and Ways to Deal with Learning Difficulties (Source:pbsparent) Pre-term birth is defined as being born before the 37 weeks age of gestation. A child who was born within this range is considered as a premature. Common issues among premature babies are their social and developmental difficulties, physical problems and learning disadvantage that is probably brought by medical complications at birth and an early environment that does provide adequate stimulation.  For me, it is a mere stereotype for people born too soon, almost all people I knew who are in that same shoe doesn't present the problems at all as enumerated above. Some were even board topnotchers and very successful in life. Others just live normally like everybody else. However, being premature plus combination of other serious factors could lead to brain alteration that may lead to learning problems in the future. For some, it is true perhaps depending on the severity of prematurity. Alth...
