i survived.. a PM to AM shift.. plus an additional 2 hour cuz 3 different sisters plus a CI came to talk to us.. 1st was sister noresah.. followed by sister honey chew.. and then.. sister lay hoon... CI BARBARA TANG and finally back to sister noresah..
apparently sister chew wants to create a GREATER impact on how important this PRCP is.. she's assessing us by herself... the other 9 NO's.. through the SN's and the SSN's.. and she kindly remind us she'd ask the DR's abt us as well.. and she also didnt forget to mention she'll gonna ask the Attendence... the HCA's.. and basically everyone la....
she then add on.. there's only 10 vacancies in Ed.. and with 14 NYP-ians.. plus dunno how many NP's... its gonna be a really tough fight!
i seriously DO NOT want to think about what will happen if i got thrown back to wards aft PRCP.. but at this moment.. i have to admit its very VERY hard to NOT think abt it....
anws.. i have to strt digging deep agn.. till then.. take care!

ARSEHOLE!! im absolutely speechless.. here i was trying my god damnit best to try to produce at least a decent READABLE ecg.. and there he goes.. "wheres the ecg?" "its still not done??" "how long more do you need?" all within the same minute??! in the end a SN came in and took over.. and even she cldnt produce a reading within seconds WITH THE LEADS ALL ON! and resort to change the machine.. and dunno what else she did la! -sister might just find me abt this.. siggghhhs....
and to top it up! its da same blardy man who try to abscond! with the stench of alcohol PLUS WEEE!!!! its an ultimate OMG!!! and i was doing all his paper work.. and there he goes climbing out of his god damn trolley! major siiiiighhhhhhh.......... and it seriously doesnt help when theres a screaming and legs flying pt in the room as well..

i happily thought the staff exit will still be open till 5pm as per usual! happily ignoring the fact i have to open the door for 2 staffs who were lock outside when they forgot their cards! and the moment the door closes behind me and i realise i need a card to get out the correct way.. i turn to the only OTHER exit left available! through the other end.. through the MORTUARY END! HAHAHAHAHAS!!!!!!
well.. i have to do it rights?! i was the only AM student.. so im alone.. so why not adventure abit! LOL!.. and i end up having to walk 1 whole biggggg round! and.. 1 thing i did right away was to pull off my name tag!

WARNING! you're gg to get bored reading my nxt LOTS of entry for the nxt 3 MONTHS ok..
well.. i think its important that i kinda keep track of what i've done or been doing each and everday so.. at least i will be able to gauge am i improving in ED or not.. CUZ! i can opt to move to wards if ED is NOT helping me... and of cuz! for my dear fellow nurses to remind me of things that i NEEEEED to do.. which i have not done! THANK YOU!
ok technically today is the second day in Ed.. and i'm posted to triage the whole week.. and since tmr and sat i'm off.. i think sun i die-die must type out the triage notes for at least 1 patient! hopefully will be in the same shift as leonard again! he let me do anything i want! hahahas! of cuz the things that i was taught la..
ok so yest.. i refresh my memory abt the ED flow.. refresh on the things that's done at the triage area.. the POTC.. the pain protocol.. CPP.. done truckloads of ECGs.. gave i/m-pain killer.. utp's uc9.. h/c and bandaging... ohh and seen chopped off finger!-disgusting esp with blood dripping!
and went in to obs to help out.. ecg's, bolus glucose, help to put up a drip which was nt primed properly! my bad for not checking! and for doing things which was done half way by another staff.. anws.. the SN saw and we reprime.. so no worries there..
we kill time by cleaning the areas with alcohol wipes! hahahahs!!!!! -rare oppurtunities la!
ok then today! morning was quite ok la not pack at all.. but lucky no HCA.. so i was outside being a very helpful hand! and THEN! comes 2 ITE students.. not 1 le! 2!! both posted at triage summore! PLUS 1 HCA.. -pekchek! i left triage and head over to obs and help out inside! i betrayed leonard.. but cant stand standing arnd waiting to do things! looks damn lame!
but i did pop out once in a while.. actually quite often.. everytime i finish doing smtg in obs i pop my head out to see if he's ok.. then.. a couple of time! he will ORDER.. 'ECG!' -LOL! then then! just now i strted approaching the dr's for their autograph on ECG's.. and since i'm pretty confident in passing the relevant info's.. i was left with the task to look for autographs!... hmms..
what i've done:ECG's, UC9, h/c, drip, glucose bolus.. bandaging.. found out abt the tentage criteria, familiarise with the diff kinds of qns asked based on their c/o o/a..
reflection for this 2 days: i ought to be doing and learning more! i need to be more pro-active..
i think i need to strt opening up the meds cupboard.. memorise the uc9 orders, and the protocols.. -as a starter.. =P!
i hope the days and months to come will be as great or even better then this 2 days.. one thing for sure.. let me stick to patrick and i think i'll learn alot from him!
**if you think men in uniforms are attractive.. COME TO ED! LOL! suddenly all the weird weird uniforms strt to appear!
hope everyone's doing well for PRCP! have a niceee day ppl!

you wldnt believe it.. i seriously think i'm going to get FAT-TER working in ED! LOL!!! sister noresah treat us to donuts from donuts factory.. and the hospital gave free ice cream to all staffs.. somehow the human resource ppl came in the tutorial room and gave out the ice cream to us as well!
okok.. today.. its our ED orientation day.. we're the first batch of students to actually serve our whole PRCP of 3 mths in ED la.. and out of the total 14 ppl.. only 3 students are bonded! 2 of them.. were sgh betrayers! HAHAHS! -tt include me as well arhs...
and it was pretty good in a way tt we're all like segmented!
but the setback is.. we got no preceptor.. we're gg to fly arnd every week to the diff places in ED! and for me.. my timetable is such tt.. 4 wks in ed.. 4 wks in EDTC.. and the last 4 wks back in ed.. and the 4 wks in ed wld be.. 1 wk for each.. triage, consult, observation and resust! and we're to only manage 2 pts.!-only in observation! hows tt.. when all the other students are progressing to manage 12 pts!
and right now..i really feel the pressure! esp of not having a preceptor to fall back on! i'm suppose to be on my own right now! scramble arnd!.. well.. it is PRCP rights?!
and i really hope all those motivations do cont to come in! THX ALOT to my MOTIVATORS!!

you know how some ppl always do get to meet the right of ppl.. unfortunately for me.. i'm the direct opposite of it..
ok fine so im stuck with them.. lets not make things worse then it already is.. so LETS MAKE FRIENDS! and that could have been one of my big big mistake... i not only have to NOT BE MYSELF.. i have to face up to the insultations.. thank you! sometimes i do know that its not meant to sound or be that way.. but it does come across to me as that..
and with that i hope never to repeat myself! and others not to exp the TRAUMA i went through. HAHAS!! trauma okais! LOL!
anws.. my 1st day of PRCP.. it was all lectures from the SISTERS there.. and sister phua lei hoon.. is not only nice enough to give a talk to us.. she's nice enough to prepare us to prepare ourselves for the nxt 3 MOST CRUCIAL MONTHS of our LIVES!...
and what better to serve it in the ED... -.-"!
as quoted by her.. "a nurse wouldnt be called a nurse if he/she loses her bedpan!" hahahas!-on a serious tone.. she meant a nurse wouldnt be deem a nurse if she cant even perform a proper bedside care with a genuine human touch to it..
segala drive and motivation that comes to me hilang secepat ia mendampingi aku..

i wanna complain i wanna complain i wanna complain.. i wanna COMPLAIN soooo much tt i dunno where to begin with.. where to end it.. will i then have sufficient energy to cont typing.. or do i seriously want to type it all out?!!!!
whatever it is.. i'm in such an unease state.. that every slightest thing will bugg me! and i cant seem to focus on completing a task.. cuz upon strting on one task i'll think of smtg else.. and strt on the 2nd task w/o completing the first.. and then strt on the 3rd w/o completing the 2nd.. and the list goes onn.. and onn.. and onn.. and OMG!!! i didnt manage to get anything done! walaa.. clap hands!
graaahs.. i think im stressing myself out.. am i?! do you think theres no need to stress myself out?! i have books laid in front of me for a god damn week.. and i am not even close to finish 1 book! ppl tell me.. ohh i have high expectations from you.. i'll smile.. nod my head.. and say.. i'll try my very best.. and as if thats such a lowly regarded ans.. they'll add on.. ohh i know you'll do great! and i have to smile yet agn.. and say insyaallah.. i really do mean it.. BUT it'll add on to the burden of my already pressurized self..
you see.. i have a huge problem with dissapointment! not that i haven face enough.. but i just cant bear to repeat having to feel dissapointed over and over agn.. and that is where.. i came out with the PERFECT solution.. that is to nvr expect anything.. may it be from myself or others.. but when all these ppl comes in. and 'I have high EXPECTations from YOU' from them.. its totally a whole new issue here.. and this is where.. i lost my homostasis.. and the hay-wireness arrives..
the problem here is.. i dont have a solution to this prob yet!
either way... i'll still smile.. and say.. i'll manage.. no worries..
goodnight everyone!
wish me best of luck for my PRCP on monday!

its a whole new game altogether...
HOWEVER! INSYAALLAH! i WILL make it through! and i WILL DO WELL! -insyaallah.. this oppurtunity comes like once in a lifetime! some ppl wanted this god damn badly.. and here i am.. landed in this position with kuase allah! theres hikmah for everything! and i wont sia-siakan this oppurtunity.. eventhough theres already setbacks before it even strted! i'll manage.. =P!
we have to let go some in order to make room for the better..

i receive an unexpected call just now.. i mean out of practically everyone who's overseas! i didnt see this call coming..
the phone rang echoing through the empty hall of the mosque.. tsk.. sounded an old lady who sat on a chair.. apparenly khusyuk berzikir..
without delay the call was answered.. with a glimpse of who the caller was... and... it spelt..
M.A.R.I.S.S.A!!!!
yup.. the precious call all the way from UK ok.. graaahs.. well apparently unsatisfied tt we're not there to sent her off.. W/O any msg nor call...
but everything's fine now.. and kimmi dear if you're reading this.. "she was waiting for us at the airport to sent her off.." it really breaks my heart when she kinda spell out word for word of how she literally waited for us.. the BUT in this case was tt.. we were having our ED posting and i doubt even the nicest soul would wanna disturb their shifts!
ok anws.. i did a whole lot of thinking.. and 2 and a half years ago.. i made a decision tt could either be the
DUMB-EST OR the
WISE-ST decision ever..
and i think that this whole outside of house thinking works for me.. maybe not the best but is still working.. =))
anws i cried while watching armegeddon! like the countless of time watching it.. and i have STILL yet to stop shedding tears to tt show!.. i know its fiction and all.. but ohh well.. -touchy side of me! hahahas!
when it does happen.. i hope allah wouldnt put any muslimin nor those nice souls, on this earth to experience it! infact i doubt any soul should experience it!
AL-QARI'AH-(1) The Clatterer! (2) What is the Clatterer? (3) And what shall teach thee what is the Clatterer?

(6) Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Balance (7) shall inherit a pleasing life, (8) but he whose deeds weigh light in the Balance (9) shall plunge in the womb of the Pit. (10) And what shall teach thee what is the Pit? (11) A blazing Fire!
- (1) Hari yang menggemparkan, (2) Apa dia hari yang menggemparkan itu?

(6) Setelah berlaku demikian, maka (manusia akan diberikan tempatnya menurut amal masing-masing); adapun orang yang berat timbangan amal baiknya, - (7) Maka ia berada dalam kehidupan yang senang lenang. (8) Sebaliknya orang yang ringan timbangan amal baiknya, - (9) Maka tempat kembalinya ialah "Haawiyah" (10) Dan apa jalannya engkau dapat mengetahui, apa dia "Haawiyah" itu?
