I miss the time

The first step into A5 is never that happy. With the tough placement in department of medicine during my student years plus some rude treatment by nurses I was quite lost when I was sent to be a Temporary Undergraduate Nursing student (TUNS) in A5 before I was promoted to Registered nurse in a short future.

Yet those doubt and possible fear was all gone with later experience. I was actually stepping into a ward with warm atmosphere where laughs can always happen; I grew already a lot with help from senior nurses - I can still remember how Dorothy and Irene teaching me on urgent EOT and emergency situations while I was just a TUNS. Yes the work load is the heaviest within the hospital, admissions can reach 20 in 7 hours, but all along the working time it's joyful.

What can you expect more, when you learn under warm atmosphere ?

2 Years, and now provided that an vancancy is made in isolation ward, tomorrow is the last day of my so-far medical career in A5. I'll miss the time !

Rotation

Once again I need to rotate to another ward. It'll be the third ward I work in 2009, which means I have to adapt the third working style within a hospital. I think it's pretty shit - normally to adapt it takes at least a year but the circumstance is that I had 3 rotations within 2 years.

If rotation really helps people mature I'll think it's completely silly.

Woman

Seen a blog about woman

Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply.
If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So…If you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of sh!t.”

This is true, really true.

Swine flu spread is not going to stop

Department of medicine is admitting so many patients. With the atmosphere of flu and swine flu, I can really feel the increased admission of patients. For every shifts there must be some transferred cases from isolation ward for being ruled out swine flu, or cases from emergency department for questioning swine flu cases.

I know one day there must be a confirmed case in my ward, and yes, it comes today.

May God bless my ward, and my colleagues who are getting fever and flu symptoms.

Was | Is | Will

On the coming Ma Wan photo gallery, it's all about was, is and will . I have come across a number of photos, ideas that match the topic, but none of them is comparable to the relationship between you and me.

The gallery just triggered my thinking over these years. Thinking of some important things, my jobs, life ...........

Sick leave , just make me sick.

With the swine flu, the new ward I am working has to close to deploy staffs to either medical/pediatrics/isolation wards. Today is the 2nd last day of my so-far surgical life, yet I was unluckily deployed to another surgical ward. The reason is because there's a shortage of staff in there, due to sick leave.
I am okay to go if people are really sick and cannot attend duty, but what I have been hearing today is that people may not be sick. I am indeed angry, but I can say nothing.

Is that what a nurse should be ?

A month of surgical life has already let me feel this department is just shit.

4am in the morning

Just earlier in the day I come across a medical doctor and he asked when I will go back, I simply replied ' I don't know' , then when I backed to the ward I received the news of return to department of medicine. I have thought of a possibly return, but never have I thought it to be that early with sudden cease of surgical life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 4 am in the morning and still there is a work-day to go in the morning, but I could not get myself asleep any more. When I close my eyes the scenes of working in medical unit pop up.

And I just cannot wait any longer.
