All it takes is perseverance

This is the second week i'm posted at Surgical Ward already.The bad things about here is:damn busy ward coz all patients have undergone various surgeries and so cannot move their limbs with normal power,but the good thing is there's a lot of procedure here for us to do:dressings,off drain ,injection.....glad that i can obtain all these crosses dy.

This few days a lot of things happen in this ward,not serious things i mean,just small things that make we student nurse & also our clinical instuctor very frustrated ...perhaps it's because the staff all are too busy and it makes them very dull-minded,somemore audit is coming, for our hospital has been accreditted as the joint commision international standard so they want to create the best services they can while putting those pressure on we nurses !

This morning when me & Lynn were busy doing our observation,then suddenly the nurse manager came out from a pt's room & was shouting:why you all never take the breakfast tray out of pt's room when you all are in the room?!!& we were like...excuse me,we are not super human doing everything at the same time,somemore what are the pantry staff here employed for??of course after finish doing our observation when we go round we will help tidy up the place...just because the patient is the CEO's friend & u want to show how well our service is!Anyway i'm not angry or what,i don't mind u shouting or what ,i'm doing my part & can't always fulfill your desire.....One more thing is we were scolded for not taking along the pain score chart while doing the observation..excuse me,we always did & how could u accuse us when u didn't even ask us first and u expect us to pretend to raise up our pain score chart along the corridor so that u'll notice it??

I hate

staff nurses that are so rude to we student nurse,but some are very nice & i like them

manager that shout at us without a reasonable reason

fussy patient that keep on squeking

juniors that are not responsible & not initiative

seniors that throws all the things for us junior to do

those who keep on ordering me to do this do that(i mean classmate,not manager,staffnurse or CI)

though i won't keep all these pressure with me ,i may hate you today but not tomorrow,i'll forget happenings that should be forgotten
i enjoy my career being a nurse,i enjoy serving those nice patient,i enjoy communicating with those patient & it's worth a while to have a challenging mind & also a challenging life!

Annual Dinner 09'

Our annual dinner this year falls on November 5,that is last Thursday, and our theme for this year is masquerade.

On that day after our posting in the hospital,everyone went back and was damn busy with their make-ups and also their performance,but i didn't take part in any performance coz i don't want to be that busy and i only want to enjoy the dinner!hmm,but i think the main reason is i'm not interested?

Our dinner was held in Grand Dorsett hotel,a really grand hotel indeed,the ballroom was also very big,more than enough for 600++ of us nurses

There were lots of pretty girls that night,like all are going for a beauty competition,hehe ...but it' only once in a while ,otherwise no special ocassion for us to wear nice nice also,it's a night for us to satisfy ourselves!


took photo with our tutor Ms Parimala




Liaw Su Faye ,my jogging partner,hehez

A lot of people,waiting for opening ceremony ,very hungry and can't wait to start our buffet dinner!




My lucky day,got a lucky draw & won a slow cooker!think i'm going to always braise things to eat ,good for our blood circulation right?

Words of feelings .....

I've just finished my clinical posting in Columbia Asia hospital last week,as i was posted there for one week.At first i thought the hospital was quite a big and grand one,as the name itself also shows,however it surprised me that it was only a small ,if i'm not mistaken, 40-bedded hospital,i wonder why it's called Columbia Asia Hospital anyway,maybe the manager is from Columbia??


All the patients here consist of those old and sick one,bedridden one, but there's still one or two young one,there was a young adolescent ,20 years old i think,who met with an accident and he couldn't walk as his leg was paralyzed and he seemed unconscious all of the time ,the parents wouldn't allow we student nurse to enter the room,as they were very sad and couldn't accept what had happened to their son,i felt sorry for them and also admire their loves towards their son,eventhough it's clear what the future would hold for their son.Another patient was admitted here since young coz he was born with having fits,the parents hired a private nurse and we student nurse were also not allowed to enter the room,scared later he attack us??and so i'm not sure about this patient actually..

What were we doing during our posting here??I would say it's quite boring compare to my own hospital.Every morning after the staff nurse finish passing their reports,we'll start to help the patients out of the bed and send them to the dining room for breakfast in their trolley after the doctor has finished their round,later they will be sent to the TV room for some entertainment ,after that the physiotherapist will lead them in their physio activities and so the day goes on..like a nursing home actually,but it's not coz all the old folks here are very sick and they stay here for long term one ,one month the fees is about RM4000,can call a hospice maybe...there was a patient named Sangumathan,i managed to talk with this patient,coz most of them couldn't talk,some completely don't understand,and some couldn't recall back their memories..this patient Sangumathan was a loan bachelor,lives here for almost one year already ,never get married and when i asked him if he enjoy his life here,and he said sure....i would die living a life like this,hehez....well old people loves to have a quiet life and they like to have companions,i mean living with all those old people together and they wouldn't bother having an unmeaningful life anymore, right?

I have a lot of feelings during my posting here,seeing all those old people with their children all getting married and didn't have much time to look after their parents..seeing those alzheimer's patient who has lost their memories,those born with fits,that's why it's important for us to take good care of ourselves and to thank god for giving us the opportunity to live our lives,and also do take care of our own parents and never ever leave them behind regardless of their condition,remember that they were the one who bore us to live our life in this world!

Choice

Every moment is a choice
everything start with our very own choice..
every choice is our very own choice..
depends on how and what we choose..
then how things will turn out..
be responsible for the choice we have make..
it is our own choice..
just don't blame anything around us..
we can choose to be depressed or choose to be motivated..
is depends on our own choice..
not others..
what happen, happened..
be strong and face it..

it mean every problem begin with our choice..
every choice we make is a good choice at the beginning..
if it turn out to be a bad choice at the end and become a problem..
not to blame this and that..
blame ourselves who decided to be that way..
but well..
no worries, problem is fun..


' NO problem.. NO fun.. '

*thumbs up*
that's very true..
down part of our life bring our life more meaningful..
if there is no challenge or obstacle..
life sucks..

well..
life is full of choice..
so..
CHOOSE..
if we don't know what we want today..
don't talk about future..
set a target for life from now onwards..
