Where did Leah go? July 20, 2006
Posted by 5 Wester in General Announcements.trackback
On July 18 the 5 West night shift was blessed with a tray of wonderful pancit and casava cake brought in by our dear Leah. As I enjoyed a bowl of delicious pancit, I thought to myself “Hmmm I wonder who’s birthday it is today?” (by the way Glen, how much is catering?). It turns out that Leah has put in a request of transfer to join the team at The Heart Hospital and this was her last day on the 5 West floor. She writes…
“it was hard for me to say good-bye to my beloved 5 west colleagues but it’s time for
me to move on and take new challenges ahead. i will surely miss everyone especially
the night crew. i will particularly miss kuya Jojo’s jokes, kuya Rodney’s laugh,
Gloria’s always-ready-advice and moral support (I don’t remember how many times I’ve
come to you crying), the ever fast and reliable Marco, caring Terri-fic, miss
Angel’s A (hehe), Sarah’s smile (thanks Sarah for that hug – you will make a good
PA!), the always cool Roldan, Philip’s tips and techniques (you know what I’m
talking about Philip – I learned a lot from you, sir), Robin’s smile, ate Cheryl’s
pat on the back, and boy, oh boy, ate Jocelyn’s contagious laugh! and of course,
5 Wester, who’s always ready to help me read the ECG. Ok, night people, be nice to the
day shift nurses alright!!! don’t make them mad or else…..hehe. Oooops! don’t
forget to put on the leads, Tony and Kenny! I already miss you guys. please keep me
posted. I will write to the day nurses later…i’m sleepy now.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!”
Well, I guess that’s life…we win some, and we lose some… and eventually people move on. So to Leah, thank you for being a wonderful part of the 5 West team. Your smile and contagious laughter will be missed. The care and compassion you show your patients will surely be emulated. Heart Hospital will be blessed to have a wonderful nurse such as you. And do stay in touch… that’s what http://5west.wordpress.com is for!
I’ll do keep in touch, people!
Thanks, ‘Niel, for the article.

Danny,
Thank you for my evaluation and raise. Thank you also for the compliment. I sincerely appreciate that. Thank you for the reassurance of a home I can always come back to. I miss the 5th floor!
Kenny,
So far all is well. I oriented with a monitor tech (Noemi – she’s great!) last week for 4 hours! I thought that was a good learning experience. I think they should do that there, too. I miss yah!
