next is suctioning, which is using a suction machine and suction tube to suck out pt's phlegm, i think i only did twice on the same pt,somemore it's a strictly sterile procedure, need to practice hundred times to be perfect... so i'm not that pro ok!Feeding, yea of coz it's not like u feed me to eat la...nasogastric and gastrostomy tube feeding ,ya i like to feed patient, i think it's fun pouring nourishing fluid, seeing it actually enter slowly and directly to the stomach, some more the flow is slow, that means i can past my time, haha

ECG, blood transfusion & insertion of nasogastric tube i haven't has the chance to perform yet, coz no patient for me to perform, some more i still no confident la, hehe, need motivation!okay other procedure so many i don't want to talk about it first

A hectic week

Today is my off day, and tomorrow as well :)This week was a hectic week for me as i have night shift, morning shift, afternoon shift and even double shift!!All shift in a week, hahaz, but it's challenging though

Monday and Tuesday i was on night shift duty.It's worth a try and at least i gain experience on how working at night is like^^ On the first day of the night shift, after passing report, the first thing the staff nurse ask me to do is to go to the blood bank and collect blood!I was like "shit"! coz i remembered our tutor Ms Parimala telling us a ghost story,.. about her experience when she was on night duty,she was taking the pack of blood alone in the midnight,walking along the corridor to return back to her ward...and as the story goes,scary right? But lucky the blood bank is just one floor above my ward and nothing happen to me,hahaz..then as usual there were a few hourly observation on those close monitoring patient, i wonder how can those patient get enough sleep if we always enter their room? Sometimes i do feel paiseh when i enter the same room every hour and waking up the same patient every hour...but we have to do our job and it's for the patient's own good also though...Besides that i also follow the staff nurse to serve oral medication, and i learned a lot from them, ...how to give medication through IV,inhaler...but still I'm not familiar with all the medicine yet so don't ask me ,haha...also the staff nurse also teaches me on how to round up the patient's obs chart,nursing care plan and other data as well....around three o'clock we manage to settle our work and the staff nurse asked me and Regina to go rest for a while, and also told us we can sleep until 5pm 0.o good news!I manage to sleep for an hour and was awakened by the cold air...it's really cold at night in the hospital =.=" ....though I found the ten hours on duty is very hard to pass , especially when there's nothing to do!

Wednesday is my "night off" day :) but for me it's like no off la, coz i came back to hostel at 9am on Tuesday morning right?..and the next morning i have to come back to work already wad... the night off is basically for me to sleep only la,hehe

Then yesterday i literally have double shift, because of the presentation in the morning and I'm on afternoon shift duty....our presentation is on Thoracentesis, abdominal paracentesis, MDI and rectal examination....i know crosses are not easy to take so of coz i am willing to sacrifice my time to join these presentations....anywhere I'm happy that I've take all these crosses already :) luckily Ms Vicky didn't ask so many difficult question =.="

Tomorrow I'm going to Mid valley^^, just to refresh my mind a bit after a long week,can't wait
