today turned out a little differentlt than i expected :|
soo again i felt a bit out of place. out of sync. and maybe seeing Sir Mike move and talk so fast was a bit overwhelming for me. I felt very rushed today. i felt insecure about everything. and maybe it was the way we started our duty.

we started it with a patient going wild on us. "its 6 o'clock in the morning, we still not yet endorsing".. something like that :)) thank God there were students. we were trying to restrain a patient who was going wild trying to pull out every thing attached to him. soo i knew it was gonna be a very very very hyper and wild day ahead of me.

so after endorsements, i attended to my patients along with my Student nurses. It was alright, but there were times that i ran into Sir Mike and he talked and moved soo fast that i was the one getting tired for him. He was bursting with energy. 8 hours straight! he was walking around station 4 as if it was as small as station 1 or station 2 :)) I was tiring out myself just by observing him :|

soo i was a bit glad that duty was done. I felt kinda happy i survived this day. I was all over the place. I was helping every student that came up to me. It was a very tiring day. and by 130pm all i was thinking was getting home and taking my almost usual nap time :)

but when i got to the station, Sir Mike and Mam Dougie approached me. asked me if i had plans this afternoon. so i answered nothing special. (nap was special but i wont admit that :P :)) ) i was thinking it was the dougie nights Mam Grace was telling me. but it was different. The patient that went wild on us that morning wasn't transferred to the ICU and was now on SP status :| and they asked me to SP with Sir Silver :| i couldn't refuse. but i was thinking.. what the hell will happen to me the next day. I never went on a straight duty before. plus i was 6a the next day! but it was set. Straight then 6a the next day. i remember what mam jo told us, dont try going 2-10 then 6a the next day. It will kill you! hahaha and i was attempting to go 6+2 then 6a!!

so i went on a straight duty with sir silver. He taught me alot of things about taking care of a post op craniectomy patient. He wasn't at all toxic. I was taking his vital signs q1. the only thing that was tiring was going down to the lab to get his results and stuff. waiting and running back to the 4th floor and running down to get supplies from the csr and back up again. things like that. it was the tiring part of the duty.
the relatives were very nice. even gave me and Sir Silver dinner :) at the end of the shift, i still have a bit of energy left. i picked up Cha and went home.

I was deaaaaaaad tired and was afraid how my body would take everything tomorrow. Tomorrow was the first day that we didn't have students. The first time i would be handling them 100%! and coming from a straight duty. what will happen to me??

highlight of the day.. a 3 year old girl gave me flying kisses :> i drew her jollibee, hello kitty and a car to get her attention off the students who are giving her antibiotics :) she gave me flying kisses as we left her room :D aint she sweet? this are the moments you actually enjoy being a nurse :)
