whether one is required to stay-in depends on the requirements of his vocation - whether there is training / ops daily, whether there are certain considerations for one to stay out, etc. hence e.g. clerks are not required to stay in, while an infantry soldier will normally have to due to daily trg or ops functions. i am not sure what a dental assistant does, although it certainly doesnt sound like a cheong sua type of vocation to me, and i also think that since the medical centre has a closing hour it may not be necessary for all the medics and dental assistants to be around all the time. i may be wrong though. if you have good reasons you may wish to speak to your immediate superior. that would be the best move.Originally posted by kitoshizc:Dental Assistant..
Oh ok. Cos I have some personal reasons but I considering whether to sound off or not.
dental are not stay in ones. i mean why should dental stay in? someone in the middle of the night suddenly toothache need to see dental? cannot be right? so don't worry.Originally posted by kitoshizc:U mean is not permanent stay in? But my medical and familyconditions dunno can allow me tahan so long or not.

in the past, we just prepare ourselves for the worst while hoping for the best. so when it was a lousy outcome we didnt feel cheated and were mentally prepared. if it turned out better than we thought, its a bonus.
alot of people have come here to ask about their postings, whether they will need to chiong sua, stay in, etc. im not sure why so many have thought or hope that they would be "better off" than the rest, cause if this thought didnt even come to them, they wouldnt even have asked such a question.
not being harsh here, but well, it is ns, and if everything is gonna be a bed of roses, then you won't feel much about the 2-yr experience right? do we remember the toughest times we have been through, or the happiest moments we have enjoyed? chances are its the former.
what happened to mental resiliency and strength?
