(:

Finally turned 18! ok.. wadever.. hahaa. Now just waiting for my friends to turn 18 which will be months ltr. o_O oh well..

Kai jing got me a mp3 which was a combination of last year's present as she didn't give me one. A ZEN stone plus. Though it has already came out last year and this is something which is hard to find in the shops now and with discount(according to her), I don't really care. Its something which probably cause a hole in her pocket anyway its the thought that counts. I'm happy enough to meet her which is usually during our birthdays if not in nyp( and calls me by hitting my head!). Anyway a present from her is always being accompanied by a card which she never fails to to put winnie the pooh inside. haha. Cute~

Met aunt jas today and she treated me to coffee house. Sweet of her.. Hmm her bday is coming soon too.. (:

Went to sushi tei for dinner. And omg i feel in love with the prawn there. hahaa.. my sis expression when she ate it was something which i have never seen before. haha Might be going back for more prawns hopefully? lol anyway my family and someone special got me a adidas watch. (:

For now i have gotten everything i wanted.

Long time since i last uploaded any pics. anyway here are some.. the rest are in the camera which i have yet to upload into my laptop. Might upload some in the future. (:

It Comes To An End

My 2nd attachment has come to an end. 2 of my patients whom i know will go home tmr the rest are all new admission besides 15.. wadever.. sheesh im a mean nurse. lol those who had been under my care had at least said thanks and some even missed me. hehe...

2 of them were saying comments about me. their words silently assured me i didn make the wrong choice of coming to nursing. and this reminds me of smth sad. came to know today that izhar gonna quite nursing do NS and go to nafa! gonna miss his company and jokes. and one less guy in the class!!! o.O im like broadcasting it to 0720. lol. the last thing we did tgt or even for the whole attachment was to wear a uroshealth for bed 15 twice. haha..what a way to end..

anyway now left with 2 guys in the class. kinda pathetic. sometimes its good to have guys around as they are usually the jokers.. hehe.. oh well..

im like feeling hungry now. at 10am i ate a bun(brunch), 4pm a waffle(dinner) and in between 6 sweets. i didn have appetite for dinner as i was feeling nausea from the wound dressing done earlier. think the wound had an infection earlier but is healing well now. it was the smell.. wei jie was lucky during the first half of the time he was having the block nose. ironically. later on he smelt it too. haha.. mayb the smell became stronger..hmm.. the whole time i was clutching my tummy while smelling the alcohol rub on my hands.. lol


sleepy..

A Nice Feeling

Its a nice feeling.

Patients and family members coming to you telling you thank you for everything from the bottom of their hearts when they are going to be discharge.
Them remembering your name and calling you by it.
Seeing and knowing that they will miss you to a certain extend.
Seeing the disappointment in their face when they will not be able to see you on the last day of their stay in the hospital.

A sense of satisfaction that one has done well.
Patients being able to relate to you.
Allowing yourself to slowly enter their hearts.
Having them to do things willingly rather then needing to try and force them to do so.

They made my day despite the fact i got 'shot down' by my lecturer. Though it should be taken as an encouragement , it kind of 'de-moralise' to a certain extend at that point of time. It adds on to the fact that i already feel incompetent. Those words nearly brought tears to my eyes.

My patients words are of encouragement to me. I can do what other's cant. I merely lack the practice of skills which make me incompetent but essential.

They made my day. (=

Attachment

2 weeks of my attachment has already passed. My 1st week in the polyclinic was enjoyable.. im even considering to join them after getting a few years of experience in the wards. Not really due to the reason that i get public hols like everyone does or getting normal working hours. Simply because i get to talk more to my patients especially in the treatment as compared to the wards. I hardly see or actually dont even see the staff nurses talking to patients etc due to the load of the paper work and even ending up doing ot which can last till abt a few hrs? So much for the holistic care the lecturers would always say.Well at least i know at the polyclinic im able to do so, which seems more meaningful and the reason why i even ended up in the course despite being so routine. oh well i shall see how things go..

Back in the wards i feel incompetent as compared to the ite students who are also yr 1. . Though the things that we learn and focus are different and they already have 6mths of attachment while i have 6 weeks of it(well including this posting), i cant help but feel that way although i know this isn't the way to compare.

Andy and one of the CI talked to us abt the PRCP, signing up for a bond and also how yr 2 is gonna be a struggle? Hope im able to cramp everything in when im in yr 2 so i wont have to struggle that much during the PRCP in yr 3. Hopefully i can pass if not it will be a few months later before i can be considered a registered nurse.

Gotta search the medications my bed 14 takes for my case study..

drop dead.. im cold..brrr...
