Just the other day, Bee Ann and I competed to see who is lazier. Both of us were taking a nap in our room. My phone rang across the room. I rolled down the bed, crawled across and silenced it before I roll back and resume my nap. Bee Ann beat me flat by using one arm to reach for her bottle, uncap it and drink without moving a cervical muscle. I have no choise but to surrender the throne of laziness to her nighness XD.
Two weeks passed, lots had happened. I’m just so glad that Bee Ann is my roommate. She can be real scary if deprieved from ample sleep. We both learnt how to detect each other’s threshold and avoid disasters. Sometimes we can stayed up late to talk and talk and talk about absolutely low IQ and EQ stuff. Lol…I love her as my roommate!
Anyway, today is the first day I’ve felt the joy of being a ‘nurse’. I’ve been taking care of a semi conscious patient from the first day I arrived in the ward. Because of his health and conditions, I practically do everything for him range from feeding to suctioning to bed bathing and oral care, not to mention medication, dressing and flushing. I’ve seen how he became stronger and also how he became so ill so sudden. I rarely speak to his family but they know I am his ‘nurse’. Since last week, they approached no others but me for almost everything although clearly, I don’t have the answer and solution to anything. Today is my last day in that ward, I let them know and they thanked me with tears in their eyes. It was…the most sincere thing I’ve ever witnessed so far. It felt…so satisfying.
This week, I’ve also spoken to some doctors. Asking them questions about my case study and made them wondered what IMU nursing students are made of. I’ve assisted doctors who did not want my assistant initially till they realise they dunno where everything is kept. Bwahahaha…I’ve witnessed protoscopy and how three doctors tried to change diaper. It felt awesome to be acknowledge as different. It’s also pressuring at the same time that we have to maintain better professionalism. Oh well…along with authority comes responsibilities, eh? Nevertheless, I get accustomed to my ward already and I’m glad I’ve enjoyed this posting. Hopefully things will continue to turn out fine XD.
One week of Raya break and I’m back in Kay Elle. Home sweet home, Kay Elle~
Feel touch!
