Fact: Deliveries seen on TV drama/movies aren’t true! *shocked mode*

 

right…. it is true. I’m not gonna believe on those on what I see on TV. We had our DR duty today. On the first hours, there’s an orientation of the staff and our CI preceptor. Then by 11, we started the procedures. We have these cases: 2 NSDs, 1 CS, and D&C… wait… Here’s a better way to understand it: NSD is normal spontaneous delivery, CS is caesarean section, and D&C is dilation and curettage.

The latter is like you are going to scrape off the fragments found inside the wound to prevent infection and so. Time flies so fast during our duty. Most of my work are monitoring vital signs (BP taking specifically), assisting in cleaning OR/DR instruments, pushing the stretcher, and others… can’t count them all in my fingers It was really a busy day for us, but the most part that I love is that I got to insert an IV needle on a patient (with a helping hand assistance of our CI). I was very nervous at first… natatakot baka mapuncture ko ang vein… but our CI encouraged me and I did it well… maybe   o_o… but I’ll promise I’ll get an IV seminar once I graduated…

So far, I loved this day’s duty. So many things happened. Learned many too. Can’t make this post longer ‘coz my eyes are starting to droop while listening to music.

Listening to: Unwell – Matchbox 20

Tired… then duty tomolo…. *faints* 0_-;;

 

gah… it’s been a while since I did my last post… hehe… I got a pretty new banner too but it’s really simple for it’s style. I’m planning to have a new theme with adding some new features soon… as soon as I get free from my schedule… *rolls eyes*

Here’s a quick recap on what happen to me on the past few days:

————

July 17-18 = Immersion days. Okay… I can’t tell much because I’m tired of recalling things but yeah, everything is fun when you’re miles away from the city proper, as long as you have more than 30 unique, odd yet cool classmates with. *smiles* Words to relate: tiring & feeling grumpy.

July 19 = Unit Exam on two subjects. Gladly I survived without wrecking my nutshell brain. Hoping high hopes to get a good score *prays hysterically* Words to relate: suffering from nervous breakdown.

July 20 = CNP day. I woke up at almost 6 in the morning to start with my CNP community case and ended up around five or six in the afternoon. Classical way of learning hehe… but I hate my handwriting. I can’t write regular-sized letter… ;_; wah… Words to relate: cranky, feeling numb and fingers almost already in callous situation.

July 21 = Nothing special happened. Only some lecture and review moments for pol. sci. during NCM lecture and then Pol Sci. exam proper by 4… so far, the test isn’t that hard, but I’m worried with the tomolo’s exam and the exam also the day after tomolo. Words to relate: slightly relieved but worried.

July 22 = Same feelings occurred for our NCM lecture and English tests. One word  and two syllables: nose-bleed. *sniff* Words to relate: nose bleeding and with headache.

July 23 = The Lab is fine yet kinda confusing… Friends come over to do a dvd marathon at my house, and later, prepared things for tomorrow’s duty and also update my blog. Words to relate: tired… slightly depressed, yet already recovered… happy now already .

——————–

“My Sassy Girl” Kmovie is nice. Love the story but I didn’t cry in the end.

Hoping to add new pages soon. And also I would like to thanks those who commented on my blog. I didn’t expect you guys would comment (you know who you are ) 

That’s all. I need to drowse off ‘coz I’ll be at school by 5.30 AM. see ya on the next post.

Immersion… to beh canceled or not to beh?

 

*sigh* I am waiting for my hair to dry up since I took a bath around past eight this evening. Thanks to storm Helen, our scheduled immersion “chuvaness” has been canceled as of 11.00 AM this morning (oh well, who can stop nature anyway?)

So here’s the story:

I arrived at school by past nine in the morn. It was raining that time. Thanks to Kuya Guard, he helped me to bring my bags up to the 2nd floor, where I saw my other classmates there. Talk ’bout where like those ppl living temporarily in evacuation centers you see on TV. Almost bags, bags, and bags you see in the 2nd floor compound of the school. Talo pa namin tlga ang mga ngevacuate, utang na loob. *restrains herself from giggling*

Then I went to the elevator to accompany my two friends when I see accidentally my CI/nephew. So I went up to the 9th floor to get the things I borrowed from him and told my friends that I’ll catch up later. F*** those immature freshies who almost suffocated us in the elevator. Pede naman nila huwag naman kaming isiksik sa edge. Akala mo sa kanila ang elebeytor e. hmph… (oh well, they’re kids anyway afterall. Ala pang alam sa mundo, dumaan din me dyan XD) After a while, he shared some oh-so-not-good-rumors to me that there is a possibility that the immersion would be canceled. My mind was in total blank-ness but I didn’t blurted it out immediately to the others. I’ll just let my nephew do the job.

Then after a few hours, the news was spread as fast as fire. Minutes later, confirmation has been done: immersion was canceled. Mixed emotions ruled that time but that’s life. Life can be unfair sometimes. So I called mom to fetch me up at school and bring me home. It’s better that way than get stranded in the middle of the highway

As I arrived at home, I put my dad’s adobo in the freezer and drifted off to sleep. 3 hours max then I received sms messages from my classmates that it’s gonna be GO tomolo since the weather according to the news, is going to be fine tomorrow morning, and just be there on sch by 6.30 am. I said: Oh well… )=D

Lesson learned: Life is UNPREDICTABLE. period.

Odd scenario hospital experiences o.O …

 

So our duty days have now began. First day is toxic and crucial, thanks to the guidance of our cool, sassy assigned CI (FYI: he’s my unexpected nephew who’s two decades older than me! [i'll tell the whole story how we got connected soon] … wah I’m too old to be an aunt *cries* ;_;) but so far, I’ve enjoyed this recent duty so far.

1st day activities (wednesday):

• 1st time to take out an IV needle on a patient - of cors, nginig pa ako when I’m doing this. At first, I thought it’ll be painful t the patient but it wasn’t. Sarap ng feeling, it’s like your taking out a fish tinik on its own meat *wink* . It was a déjà vu  honestly. I saw one junior student doing that during my sophomore years, yet I silently prayed I wanted to do something like that soon, *sigh* and now, the rest is history
• Impromptu Case Pres - due to lack of financial stability to provide us photocopies, most of us in the group aren’t ready for the grand case pres. Luckily our CI is really very understanding and down to earth, he gave us a chance to do it on Monday but with a risk: We’re gonna do it in front of the class. We took the risk since we have weekends to ponder it on and blab about it next week.
• Hour-to-Hour Vital Signs, PA and Interview taking training
• IV Meds lecture with our CI - first, I dunno what’s the purpose of those big bottles hooked on those patients, thanks to his help I know now why *smile*
• Catheter Removal by my two classmates - I wish I joined there! But I’ve already wore my pink jacket, together with the other so too bad for us… *pout* –; Oh well there will be always a next time.
• Altered Perception related to patient’s compliment secondary to “You have beautiful eyes” – wahaha! That’s a nursing diagnosis! *grin* *grin* Don’t worry that’s girl in her late 20s that praise my “window of my crazy soul”. I’m too shy, do I really have nice eyes? *blush* *emo effect ala puss in boots of shrek 2*

2nd day activities  (today) [Note: Lazy day]

• Other half go to OR, other do ward work include me – I wanna see what’s on the OR *curious look*
• Charting Lecture (ideal basis) – there is no such thing as half conscious – Sir P… XD
• 2nd experience of Removal of IV – am slight confident, yet needs a lil’ more practice ^^;
• Oral meds given to patient, yet wit some itzy bitzy error - lesson learned: always check to see if you’re glasses are clean or else, you’ll be duleng. Apat n nga mata ko di pa ako makakita ng maayos
• Okrayan and asaran session with Sir P - all the funniest jokes, sarcasms and comments are done on this scene. From anime to horses, we did it and hindi kami napikon sa isa’t isa.
• See Mr. P do injection in action - this scene is remarkable! He’s good at doing injection. wah! i’m so proud of him *sniff*

These are some moments that happened to us on the first two duties. Last day is tomolo and I’m gonna miss Sir P. He’s really very entertaining and I see my dad on him haha ^^; Hope he’s our MS lecturer next sem *crosses fingers*

Still have not yet done my second CNP. Only the first part is done but only drafts, finalized ones shall be done on Saturday till morning. Hah. =)

Am already in the half of my analysis review of “Whittler of Cremona” but since I’m suffering a writer’s block, I paused my mind’s function  to do it. Btw, it’s really a nice, inspiring story and recommended for violin lovers

Nosebleeding and mind wrecking paraphrasing for Oedipus King script of chorus 2 has been finally done! yey! *throw confetti* Gah. Those stupid Old English words have given me a migraine but it’s okay, hehe. I surpassed it. Still, my scriptwriting skill trained during my HS days ay hindi pa kupas. Hope Bryan would do some music right.

*realizes she’s been typing too much* Whoops. Looks like i’ve done a litany.  hehe. miyane. This is the recent updates happened to me ^^ see ya later.

What a nice day.. but toxic sked in the future days ahead… ;_;

 

I had a very blessed day. I came on time and got only eight mistakes on our English quiz but that’s okay (heh, I hate the first four questions because it pertains to Iliad… bleh… :<) .. There after regular class work… next lit topic is about Oedipus… *whistles* ;O it reminds me back during HS days… must work on the paraphrasing job tomolo ASAP. *determined look*

Later after lunch, we had our MCN lecture on abnormal obstetrics and announced that we’ll have a quiz tomolo. I must get a good score for this so that I can manage to make “BAWI” on my previous score (don’t ask… ) I must and I will! AJA and fighting! *holds her reviewer*

I’ve already fixed my things and get ready for tomolo. Am already geared up for my toxic sked activities:

• Paraphrase the Oedipus chorus lines… from old to new english (deadline: thursday or friday)
• Do a review for a required article on English prelims (deadline: next, next monday) [so far, i'm already in the half]
• Do the SHED report (deadline: saturday) [so far, done writing the draft on my report, received a report from 1 grpm8... total of gonna wait for the others]
• Do the CNP 2nd ver.  (deadline:monday/ friday) [don't know... when is the passing 0.o;;]

So that’s my activities… but it’s pretty hectic for us to do it you know…. duty + study + community immersion = HECTIC SKED… you’re lucky to have a social life… =<

*sigh* how am I gonna cope up with this? *sigh again but changes to determined mode* I can Do IT! AJA and fighting!

this is what am I gonna share for now ^^… till the next one again.

Yey! another new blog… & this is permanent
