I can't remember how did I spend my January 2011. I really can't.
Seems like I have lost contact with people except my classmate Izzi.
Oh yea and I remember I attended ADC commissioning. That's the happy moment I remember, seeing all my juniors and officer. That's Jan, where I lost some weight too due to stress and personal issues.
February came rushing in. Assignment due date. Spend the first week of Feb doing assignment for Health Assessment and Research (critique on article). This time round, trying to keep close to the word limit. Written more than 2000words, still kinda worried those exceeded words. As usual I have got two of my bestest friends helping me prove read and correct where necessary. Just can't thank them enough though. Thanks again. =)
Chinese New Year, family gathering at my last uncle house. This year is kind of different because my house used to be the gathering point for everyone. Well, nothing special. Just each family brought dishes and eat together. CNY eve is just with my own family at home where my mum and dad preparing steamboat after that me and my brothers went out for a movie.
Second week of Feb, back to work. Glad to see working colleague again. My ward is left with 4 cubicles due to the renovation. Changed of nurse manager, one of them. Nothing change, as usual people still gossip here and there.
Well, finally I have submitted my PR application. My third time visiting ICA.
Next is my E-pass. Awaiting HR to get back to me for medical check-up and then proceed to M.O.M to submit forms for renewal of my pass.
Another thing, my nursing officer offer me a change of working environment. I accepted it after a serious consideration. I will be out to the clinic attach to a Fall nurse clinician for four months, three days per week. A break from ward workload a while. Of course I still need to work in the ward for 2 days. Well, is still so much better. =) Not having night shift, office hour. Quite a number of people got jealous or envy that I got selected for this. I just hope they don't see me differently or feel threaten by me. Just attachment and I will be back to the ward after for months. My nurse manager still remind me to come back and don't stay at fall clinic. I am quite honoured and thankful for the chance.
I guess, there are many paperwork to do. PAPERWORK... -.- well, nevermind! Must take it positively seriously.
phew.... =P
Active resusOkay, I had a great resuscitation on last Sunday. My patient collapsed while resting on arm chair.
Resuscitated for more than an hour and half. I got to be thankful that happened in the afternoon where afternoon staffs sign in for duty already. So, got extra helpers... I can't imagine with only 4 people with minimal experience doing it. The wife continue to cry like she has lost a husband, yea she really lost him. That's very sad you know. The feeling of loosing someone u love the most in the world is so devastating and crashing.
Attached to AED defrib machine when the on call arrived. Rhythm in VF, hardly in sinus rhythm. CPR and baging continuously. He was intubated too. Total shock given 29 shock, including 3 shocks along the way to non invasive cardiac lab. Drugs, adrenaline 10 ampoules, atropine, amiodarone, sodiumbicarb.. Like wow!!! I had difficulty in diluting drug initially because I have never met an active resus and my hand kind of shaking. Gosh!!! Force myself to maintain composure and focus. The place is in a mess... everything everywhere...
next interesting part is we rushed like hell pushing trolley to lab. It is really an emergency.. kinda like in medical drama. Well, things to take note of is remember to print summary from the machine. Well, everything is too late. He died of cardiac arrest, coronary artery blockage quite badly.
After the whole thing, met up with my best friend. Yea, obviously I was late for date again.
Went to town, had potato-ish dinner and movies.
Movie marathon kinda. Just Go with it & Blackswan.
Sunday night ended nicely.
It was 13th again.
=)
