OJI Blog #1| Day 1 of 9
Today is tuesday, February 12, 2019 and it is our first day in our work immersion. Well, new day, new tasks and experiences ahead! I woke up early in the morning having mixed emotions which are probably excitement and nervousness.
8 A.M was the official time to start our duty in the Miagao Health Cooperative Clinical Laboratory. Since first impression lasts, we made our best not to be late. Upon entering the labororatory, I was still observing and a bit uncomfortable but the genuine and amazing staffs immediately made us comfortable by giving us a warm welcome through introducing their selves.
We were first oriented by Mrs. Nuñeza, the Chief Medical Technologist about the things we should do inside the laboratory. Throughout the day, we just first observed the processes and practices that they perform inside the laboratory. They taught us about blood sampling and its process as well as how to use the microscope in determining if the infection is caused by bacteria or virus during urinalysis.
I had learned few things this day and I hope for more this coming days.
