Seems its been quite a while since i updated this blog...well i guess not many people...or shall i say nobody reads it...but anyways currently on attachment in TTSH...well so now the first week is over...haha i'm so fortunate to get good nursing officers, cool staff nurses and assistant nurses...haha not to mention second and third year student nurses were cool too...haha well the ward is very crowded so for this first week i was doing simple tasks such as taking parameters...but well after a few days of doing that...haha i decided to tag along with a staff nurse...they let me do more procedures...even taught me and let me do stuff that we are suppose to learn in the years to come...such as setting up of IV drip...off IV, hypocount, using infusion pump, off IV plug etc...haha well today is the last day for the yr2 and yr 3 student nurses...yr2 nurses are gonna be back in school for their exams...and yr3 nurses are gonna be posted to different departments...so from next week on...haha gonna have lots of things to do...well as for patients...seen quite a few intriguing cases...like ppl whose hand got caught in grinding machine, police cases, Hi5 cases, DM foot case, got bashed up cases and especially...altered mental status cases...haha...some patients have some serious attitude problems...and some...just cant stop pressing the call bell...like they are the prince and kings of the ward...even show us attitude when we go attend to them...bloody hell...if want to be treated like kings...then don't come to a C class ward...not that we don't give good care...but its just that they are attention seekers...want to pampered...we have 6 beds in one cubicle...and theres a total of 3 cubicles to one side...and only 2-3 staff nurses, 1-2 assistant nurses and maybe 2-3 student nurses to a side where there is a never ending load of work...these assholes have no idea what we are going through...always have the impression that we are very free...and as for some...they just don't trust you no matter who you are and what you do...*sigh*...the next type would be the unreasonable ones...i used the machine to take blood pressure and stuff...the reading was a bit off...so i decided to try the machine again...coz it screws up some times...and still it doesnt work...so i decided to use the manual B.P set to take the blood pressure of the patient...for some reasons he started to throw tantrum and says he doesnt want to take blood pressure and stuff...bloody hell...i think his age is like more than double of mine and he is behaving like some 5 year old kid...childish asswipe...only through a "scolding" from the AN then he reluctantly let us take his blood pressure...well thankfully theres really nice patients as well...they saw me getting scolded by the unreasonable patients...when i attend to them...they kinda comforted me...haha lucky there are there...or else i would had lost it by now haha...anyways... thank u to the staff nurses there and fellow nyp nurses...haha need to catch some sleep now...eyes are getting really heavy...signing off
