2 weeks of attachments have passed.
and here are the updates.
polyclinic attachment for tat first week was a bore.
there were nth we could do nt even vital signs.
for tat whole 1 week we jus stood there observed and asked questions.


boring as it is. we actually learned many things.
stuff lik the different immunisations and care for an infant.
stuff lik tat. nth tat was much to mention.
except a couple of friendly nurses who wanted to help..
the rest jus suck. bt well.. it aint tat bad.


now im halfway through my other posting at a med ward.
ward 72 haema ward. a ward tat deals wit blood disorders.
patients are mainly on chemo.
with bone marrow aspiration (BMA) and lumbar punture (LP)
are norms in the ward.

first we met sister CK. i thought i was lucky as she was funny and friendly.
den i went to the ward.
i dont deny there are good staff nurses around. willing to teach.
spend the time to talk to u.
unlike some others who would rather keep quiet.
.
ive learnt many things from this ward as it is a specialized ward.
u get the young and old at the same place for 1 reason.
the diagnosis.
in this attachment i saw the reason y very little ppl joins nursing.
they obviously think they should receive care from no smaller den a RN
student nurses suck at everything they do.
student nurses are unable to anything on their own.


my sister as in biological sister nt the ward kind of sister told me something she said to a pt.

pt : er nurse, can help my father change her diaper? i dont want the student nurse
to do it. they are very rough in doing such stuff.

my sister: jus to let u noe. student nurses are better at doing such stuff coz they are
so afraid of hurting the pt.

makes sense. for the few times in my life i agree wit my sister.
no student nurse = no staff nurse
no staff nurse = someone u cannot ask for ur quality care.

still wan press call bell and say i nvr call student nurse. i called staff nurse.
its ok. next time i will add more functions to the stupid bed of urs.
1 button to call nurse. another jus to call staff nurses.
i can more or less say. if there are student nurses ard.
ur chances of getting a staff nurse AFTER pressing the NURSE call button is higher.
den u pressing the STAFF NURSE call button.

bt ive met better pts.
lik david. he would be one of the few i would consider a role model.
his interpersonal skills and way he talks jus makes ppl stop and listen.
cant explain much. u have to noe it for urself.
