Farewell Party To Our University Nurse

A back story - As a scholar in my school, we have to complete 90 hours of duty as part of the contract. So I joined this emergency response team where every duty hour will be multiplied into two so that it will be easier for me to complete the said hours. In first year of college, I was not able to meet these people because the set up was online class. But the following school year, I got to meet them. I don't regret joining this team despite of our presence always being demanded (we are invited in every school event in case of emergency) because they are very awesome people.

Every day each of us are scheduled for our clinic duty where we help the nurse vaccinate our fellow students. Usually we just keep the students in order so the clinic won't get crowded or we help the students organize their vaccine and vaccine cards. But eventually, Ms. Lei, our clinic nurse let us help her vaccinate the students so we could also practice on how to inject.

She is really nice when it's off duty but strict during the duty hour which I admire because it is a professional behavior. She is the one who taught me the proper hand placements while injecting which is a big help because when we had our return demonstrations, our clinical instructor already assumed we know the drill already so he didn't specify the hand placements.

Sadly, she is resigning because she has to focus on her review because she is aiming for America. So yesterday we celebrated a farewell party (in our language it is called despidida).

We all stayed in the clinic as we wait for her to arrive. She was at the guidance office celebrating another despidida party prepared for her by the school.

It took around 2 hours so we had fun on our own while waiting for her. We improvised a karaoke. One member brought a microphone and speaker then we connected it to the computer (the same computer we used to monitor the medical supplies inventory and record of the vaccinated students). Then we searched on youtube karaoke songs and we sang along.

We turned off the lights and went club mode where we would dance and jump while we shake our phone with the flashlights on. Some improvised colored disco lights by covering their flashlight with an alcohol bottle which illuminated green and pink lights.

And when Ms. Lei arrived, we ate, we were really hungry and tired at this point because of dancing. We had pizza, cake, pudding, lasagna, and soft drinks.

Since we are an emergency response team, what do you expect? Our party ended when we were called for an emergency because someone fainted in the Battle of the Bands event. Until our next party, amazing friends! And to Ms. Lei, I hope you get there to America and good luck on your journey po.
