Industrial Nursing Day 1

Orientation at Agus 2, Pawak, Saguiaran Lanao Del Sur


I have never been to any plant so having an industrial nursing exposure was really fun for me. It's so exciting and amazing to tour around the hydroelectric plant which supplies electricity to almost half of Mindanao. The machines, turbines, generators and tunnels were very huge and very great. Though they were already functioning for so many decades they were still durable and reliable.

This orientation really amazed me. At last I've observed one area wherein the engineers were working. It's really not easy. They have to monitor the water level 24 hours per day to ensure that there is enough water to produce energy and there is no excess water that is difficult to control and that can cause damage to the machines.

I've also met their senior nurse. She told us that it took a very long process before she got her job but it was all worth. According to her, the compensation was really good and satisfying. Being an industrial nurse was also challenging according to her. You must be prepared to any emergencies and you have to ensure that the health of the employees are greatly monitored and are not compromised. She's the only nurse in charge to over a hundred employees so WoooOO, indeed Ma'am 'twas really challenging :) but you really made a very good job. The employees were very much aware of the risk in their working area and they are also collaborative to our health activities. :)

ashhhh... i really want to hop in there. :).. seems like the water is so cool..  :)

         The picture behind me may look like just an ordinary pond or a hot spring at a closer look because the water 'bubbles" but accordingly if you drop yourself out there you'll simply kill yourself because that body of water is connected to the turbine that generates electricity.Can't imagine how powerful the current is tsk tsk.. That is why though I was so eager to get closer to it I always keep my presence of mind. I don't want  to end my life without even becoming an RN you know :) #
