Today is the start of the 9th week of PRCP..and one of the worse for me..Why??simply coz today was DAMN busy..and worse then that friday..i practically din sit down the whole day, and was busy from after report taking all the way to passing report..
From the time i finish taking report, is the start of hell for me..after reporting taking, as usual i start with my parameters and ADLs..blah blah blah.. den suddenly a whole swarm of doctors came into the ward and wanted to see most of my patients..sian..
I've got one patient with low haemoglobin and need blood transfusion, and have family conference with the team doctors as the patient had juz been diagnosed with CA sigmoid colon..and the family also requested for upgrade to B1 class, which means more work for me..Another patient, whose lab results juz came back today and have AB over his leg wound..and was planned for operation today..so was also preparing him for op..and this patient has low blood glucose level..so means more work..
Some other jobs i did today..went up to inpatient pharmacy thrice for my team, and the pharmacist too such a long time(talking about Twilight)!!attending to this patient who can walk BUT claims that he cant walk to the toilet!!keep answering call bell from this uncle who has cognitive impairment, and he called juz for things lyk adjuzting his bedside locker and the height of his back..and asking questions that i had already answered him the past few days..preparing my patients for operation as i had 3 patients scheduled for op..transferring my patient to another ward..and the endless report writing and the last minute new case..oh i did skin prep also which i had not done any during my 3 years in Nursing..unbelievable huh??lol..
Anyway i got 3 patients with infected wounds..to think that i initially wanted to take 8 patients today..luckily i did not..but my poor staff nurse..can see that she was really stressed up today..had to look after her patients as well as guiding me at the same time..but she said something to me at the end, which made me really happy..haha..
Now waiting for the year two students to come in..hope can at least ease some of the junior work ba..and..25 more days to go!!
