Life is so different already. In another year or so i will be graduating. Can't say that I'm very excited with that as the workload will be increase followed by the stress level. Just pray that I can cope with all those.
Let's just see which department I have been to for the past 2 years.
Ward posting: It has a lot to learn and it involved a lot of stress if you ended up working alone. So you gotta do all the call bells, sponging, feeding the patients, taking the I/O chart, changing diapers etc. Let's just say is tough but if the patients tends to smile and love what you are doing for them it was all worth it.
Emergency Department: So it was called an EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT for a reason. But the week I was posted there nothing emergency happened. I know I should be happy but I kinda hoping for the adrenaline rush. It was busy there but not for the long term as patients usually just go back after meeting the doctors or admitted to the ward. I got a chance to be inside the ambulance as the ambulance crew patiently explained to me all about it plus his experiences but I didn't get a chance to go for a ride(another disappointment).
Nursery: Is all about babies! NEWBORN babies! They were just cute. We got to bath and feed the babies. But still I have ti add that most newborn really does looked the same. Only they were skin differences, you know what I mean.
ICU: is so hard to see them suffer. Really it does. But my week there so patient passed away or anything code blue happen. It does happened but it was my day off. My friend got to performed CPR. So it save me from emotional breakdown.
And a lot more actually but I am just too lazy. Sometimes I felt so left out. I don't know is due to what I am doing that left me with no time to socialize or what. But 9 out of 10 staff nurse told me your social life just went down to the drain after you become qualified. I can understand what they mean since I'm already feeling the 0 life NOW!!!
Is like I don't know anyone else other than nurses. Is so pathetic. I sometimes regret my high school life for not getting to know people more. Anyway, with my tight rules in order to make us discipline make it more difficult for mt to go out. Posting always left me exhausted. During block which is class is always filled with assignments. God! I ain't got no life.
So, whoever friend who sort of read my blog(which is so rare). Please ask me out k.
