Last day in 6A ward for 3rd week...no more with Ms Parames

Friday, 23/7/10 is our last day to be in 6A ward serving... I felt sad and will gonna miss the ward staff nurses and patient in A ward. I don't know, I felt 6A ward patient always kind and friendly... I thank God for giving the opportunities to have interact with them, although we may not meet each other again, yet the nurse and patient relationship for me is so much important and precious..

Well, today I get to do toilet bath for the 'po po' that we know each other well. HEr husband always felt very happy and grateful when I have the free time and just come over and see them and chit chat with them. Po po so skinny because so many days she didn't eat anything, she just eat 1 or 2 bite of bread that's all, water intake also little... She keep on telling me, all her fat already gone just left the skin.. When I heard this it make me want to encourage and motivate her in the sense of her health. also, I make one patient who are 17 years old, me and him talk for half an hour, nice chating with him, it make me feel release and not so stress. At least there is someone to talk with and listen.. He enjoy listening my story and was happy that there is someone talk with, because, you know a, staying in the hospital is so DAMN boring ma.... I was will bored till become "vegetable" lo..

In additional, got one " gong gong" also discharge, he was so happy and keep on smiling and waiting the time come to be home.. this gong gong very cute, if you see his smile, you will be happy the whole time, no sorrow, coz his smile is adorable... and one more, got one African patient with the family member, they were so funny and adorable too... I often visit them, and become good friend with them. When me, Ding, looi yoong and Elizabeth say good bye to them, they were so grateful, and we say to each other" i love you" and give good bye kiss, and we speak so happily but our voice so loud until staff nurse tell us to be quiet, hoho^^ this is the experience and memorable moment to be kept now and future...

Lastly, today is our last day with Ms Parames working together, kinda miss and having great time learning from her, although sometime I felt so nagging from her, and get irritated... She is a person who want to be perfect in out profession care job, indeed I learned how to give a profession care, yet need to be imporved and keep on learning... Is not an easy task to be a nurse, and everyday is learning and always there are many new things to know and learn every seconds,minute and moment... Yes, I may felt tired and want to just lie on the bed and sleep for the whole day, but the motivation that teacher gave me moves me to continue... We gave her a bottle of grape wine, and this coming MOnday we are going to give her our photo memory, that will be more valuable to be kept as a fun memory together with us...
I love my group and my clinical intructor, I thank you all of them to be as a team and work out together..All glory to God... Amen!

Clinical posting in Sunway medical centre

A blink of an eye, already past three weeks… I stilled remember the very 1st day of my clinical posting in Sun-Med. I can say Sun-Med hospital just like hotel, look so high class and there is no hospital strong smelly smell that I always expected and dislike. Surprisingly, Sun-Med make me feel nice and comfortable.

1^st day of clinical posting, we have orientation in the hospital, we have to know which floor have what ward, where is the cafeteria & many more. I was nervous at that particular moment because we have to start to help real patient instead of mannequin in the school mock ward. I was so excited and full of curious, wondering what I will be throughout this 8weeks in the hospital. I remember, I build rapport with one patient have just done operation. Me and Dianne do bed bath for the patient, both of us kinda kelam-kabut because we don’t know patient got their shampoo, basin, small towel, so kind of mess up. But praise God, our patient is a understanding and kind patient, knowing we are student nurse for Sem 1 and don’t mind us doing bed bath for her.

Not only doing bed bath, every morning after taking one hour report we have to go every patient and change their bed sheet, ask them whether have they brush their teeth, want to bath or not, got drink water or not…. So many things to care of, somehow I think if I care for my parents such concern way, I think my parents will be super happy… Well, we learn how to measure urine, charting, communicate with patient and make friends with them… and I did make friends with them and they appreciate what we have done for them.

You know, the best and happiest thing is, when you see your patient discharge from the hospital, the sense of joy for them is indescribable. appHappy for them that they finally can go back home and have a wonderful time spending with their families… No matter how difficult serving them in any situation, but knowing them getting well all is worthy.. Or even though I know that some of them can’t continue their life, yet we still put on hope and continue care and give the best concern and interest on them so patient will feel not alone and happy.

Being a nurse is not an easy task, no short cut when doing any procedure or care given to the patient. We have to always think critical and patient-centred.. We may feel restless and somehow weak, yet somehow there is a motivation keep pushing us keep on going, never give up. If we give up, who is going to take care of the patient?? Are you going to do it? What is the risk will be if we don’t provide just simple care.. It will cause a lot of unwanted and unexpected sickness and harmful… So, I’m grateful and full with appreciative in this nursing line, everyone of us is special, valuable, unique and loved. No matter who you are, how sick you are, in God’s eyes, you always are His sons and daughters… God love you and me~~~ Namaste…^^
