Tatlong araw bago ang Gabi ng Parangal ng 2011 Philippine Blog Awards, lang namin nalaman na and Brinknotes Podcast Network ay finalist sa videocast /podcast category ng 2011 Philippine Blog Awards. Ito ang pangatlong pagkakataon na nominado ang podcast site ni Jeric Pena.
Magkahalong tuwa at pagkabalisa ang aking naramdaman , siyempre ang pakiramdam nga naman ng isang ina pagka ganito ang nangyayari sa anak. Sa isang banda, takot din kasi baka hindi manalo , eh talent din kasi ako dun sa onlineDoktora.
Kami ay naghanda para sumali sa parangal, na sa aming isip ay okay lang kahit hindi manalo kasi, mayroon na namang siyang award noong 2009, kaya lang hindi kami nakadalo dahil sa kanyang klase at traffic noong araw na yon.
Maayos ang mga paglalahad sa programa, puno ang RCBC auditorium ng mga bloggers at kanilang mga kasama, at gusto ko ang pag-uulat noong emcee na si Ms. Gang Badoy, simple lang ang mga kaganapan sa programa, pero napakalaki ng kabuluhan nito sa lahat ng nanalo noong Gabi ng Parangal.
Nagsalita si Mr Juned Sunido ang pangulo ng PBA, pina alam niya ang plano ng PBA para tumulong sa communidad sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-ugnayan sa Habitat for Humanity. Akmang-akma sa “bayanihan “ na tema ng 2011 PBA.
At nangyari nga na nanalo uli ang Brinknotes Podcast sa pangalawang pagkakataon. Buti na lang di ako naiyak,nanginig at nanlamig ng konti pero siyempre proud mom ako. Mayroon pa ako kasamang bonus, nanalo ako sa raffle ng isang Nokia 500 cell phone.
Salamat sa PBA sa pagkilala nila sa mga taong ibinabahagi ang kanilang talino, kaalaman at panahon para lumikha ng mga bagay at paraan na magpapakilala sa atin bilang Filipino.

UTI Home Screening Test Kit
For those men and women who are prone to UTI, a screening test kit is available for home use. It is fast and easy to use for a qualitative detection of urinary tract infection before any signs of pain or discomfort upon urination manifest.
I bought the UTI test kit at Watson’s and it costs 150 pesos. It contains 3 test strips, a product insert containing instructions on how to use the kit with general information about UTI and a color chart pad.
The best time to test UTI is to use the first morning urine specimen. Clean the genital area and wash your hands. One can urinate directly to the test strips but it has to be midstream urine, meaning urine that is passed in the middle part during the act of urinating. Follow the steps mentioned in the product insert.
If your results are abnormal make sure your doctor knows about this, because complications can happen such as infection of the kidney, bladder and urethra.
Twice a week, I go out of the classroom to be with my students in their Related Learning Experience (RLE) or clinical practice. Their RLE is conducted in a health care facility such as a hospital or a health center. Second year (Level II) nursing students are required to spent at least 306 hours in a semester to complete their RLE. Here, my students act like real nurses to hone their skills, apply their knowledge learned inside the classroom. Skills are put into practice plus they have to follow the right attitude of being a nurse.
The basic skill that I teach them is how to communicate with clients and experience on how to establish a constructive nurse-client relationship. Armed with the knowledge of communication techniques, they have to collect data from clients as a primary step in the nursing process. The approach is always to utilize the nursing process in caring for clients across the lifespan.
Simple skills such as proper identification of clients, vital signs, documentation, taking the nursing health history with emphasis on the Gordon’s Health Patterns, performing physical assessment are more than enough to get them busy.
One hour is also spent in the discussion of the overall experience of the day, their insights and reflection on the nursing interventions they have performed. The final documentation of their activity is then written as their nursing care plan.
Each student has his or her own personality. I have to blend with them not to adhere to their own wishes but as an approach in motivating them to develop a friendly and caring attitude to their clients. And the most salable way is that they learn a new skill or acquired knowledge on that RLE duty day.
I learned about electronic health records program (eRecords) , telemedicine program (eMedicine), eLearning program (eLearning) when I attended the one day eHealth seminar conducted by the University of the Philippines-Manila National Telehealth Center (UPM-NThC) last October 7, 2011 at Pedro Gil UP Manila.
I have been in the practice of medicine for the last 20 years and into teaching nursing courses for 6 years, and the seminar provided me with information regarding the practice of eHealth.
Charting or Documenting is the process of making an entry on a client’s record. Client’s record has several purposes: communicating with other member of the health team, education, and research and for legal, auditing and reimbursement purposes.
Personally I have used eLearning when I had my distance education courses. In a way I practiced eMedicine , when I did Filipino health podcasts and for sure I am would like to put into use a simple electronic medical records for my clinical practice.
Most of the attendees were young registered nurses and this is actually the right time for them to learn eHealth especially about eRecords: electronic medical record and electronic health record. In the years to come, all hospital-based practice will surely have eRecords as part of their system.
