I AM SO SAD!

No.1 :I did not get to take a lot of pictures of Ward 64 (As in, you know the signboard outside the ward which says WARD 64)

No.2 : I did not get to take pictures with my favourite people like Shaqila, Farhat and one of the ENs and SNs!

No. 3: I am going to miss my patients!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So the last day was but uneventful and saddening. And oh, I would say it was a slack day too! Everyone's eyes were gleaming and shouting "It's the last day today!!!!!"


Last day, Friday, Afternoon Shift

I would usually be at the bus stop by 11.45am and take the 11.50am bus and arrive half an hour early at the hospital. But on that day, i took the 12.10pm bus because i was craving for some ice cold milk tea. Throughout this attachment, i have been drinking milk tea like A LOT!

The bus stopped at Shaqila's stop and i smiled thinking to myself that Shaqila must have been there already. A few moments later, i saw her on the bus. Haha! Shaqila is like my opposite cubicle, my bus ride companion home w/ Farhat and i always meet her on the bus, and for the last two days, we had our break together!

Anyway, We were supposed to be out there doing work at 1pm but we went for our Case Study in equipment room. Everyone was all excited! We stayed there chatting and chatting, picture taking till 4pm! and at 4pm, it was breaktime! So we technically started work at 5pm!

There was new admission/transfer in my cubicle and she was a nice lady with nice daughters. I fed her and had a chat. Nice lady, too bad it was my last!

Last day was sad and uneventful because Farhat was in the morning shift and there were only Meiman, Hassan, Shaqila and i who were on Afternoon shift. By 9 o'clock, we said our goodbyes to our friends (patients), left a card for Judit the SN, had our daily dose of Mr.Bean and left home!

That's it!
3 WEEKS OF ATTACHMENT WAS THAT FAST!
It went like, WHOOSH!

I am gonna miss NUH. My patients and my newfound friends whom i've never seen in lecture hall before.

NUH seems more cooler then SGH now.

Pictures which were blur and few. DISAPPOINTED LAR!

Our sexy legs caught the attention of the photgrapher

Ward 64 :D

Second take!

My CI is more cooler than yours.
Like seriously, she is such a hip and cool CI.

Siew Yi, Beverley and Melissa with Shikin.

Farhat / Shikkin / Atikah
I took a picture with Farhat and tiptoed beside him and he tiptoed too!
Hahaha, crappy!

Melissa / Serene / Siew Yi

The 3 weeks had been enjoyable.
I thought i would dread it!

Me: "Ah Gong, You very funny eh!"
Patient: (In a very loud and angry voice) "Ahh? I no money lah!"

Like, really. The patients can get really funny and cute. Like for the past few days, i could not help but laugh out loud! It's sad i have one more day left with them. Especially the funny Ah Gong! and the cute Grandma! but my favourite Datuk also got discharged already! Aiya, they're all cute! I'm considering going into Gerontology next time :O


Back to Afternoon shift today after being on morning shifts since last Friday. Off with waking up at 4.30am and running after my dad who walks very fast to catch the bus.

Today, i took a taxi to the Hospital. Ewww, the taxi driver was weird. Reminds me of Dino. Why do i seem to.. attract the wrong attention from older men?!?! Eww @&#$

Today was my presentation of my Case Study with Hassan. CASE STUDY OVER AND DONE WITH! We presented on the funny Ah Gong! Quite interesting case la.
Over and done with!


You know, i should not be here writing this at 1.54am. I should sleep well for my last day of attachment :( :( :( :( :( :(

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY.

I AM :( BUT ALSO :D

Eeeeeeeeks!

I think i am gonna be sick :(
The nose is running and i kept sneezing. I just hope it is just those kind of running nose that comes and go!

I have been on morning shifts since Friday. Supposed to be on morning shift too last Thursday but i swopped with Beng so i had one more afternoon shift. Morning shifts are kinda nice, cos time passes by faster and it is so cooling in the morning. and Thankfully! I was able to wake up on time (Thanks to my brother's very loud & irritating alarm clock)

I had not been late so far since the 2nd day!
In fact, i was always one of the earliest. So proud of myself la! :D :D :D

HURRAH!

it's 4 more days to the end of the attachment!

i need to get a life.
feels like i've been missing out on so much!


well, Goodnight everyone.
Do miss me, because i miss everyone.
Need i explain? I feel like i have been living under a rock during this attachment. HAHA!

I better sleep now, i have to freaking wake up at 4.30am and take the bus with my dad -.-"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEILING!
&

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!

Omgz!
After being on afternoon shift for 7 days, i am finally on.. Morning shift tomorrow. Well,
I don't like morning shifts because i dislike waking up early. As i am typing this now, it is 11.56am and i have plans to wake up at 4.40am. But i am not sleepy and i am hungry too.

I am so gonna have a freaking heart attack if i will be late.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR 9TH OF OCTOBER TO COME!
8 MORE DAYS LEFT TILL ATTACHMENT ENDS!

I need to get a life and have a great time with people!

(I wore pants today and i felt like.. totally weird with it. It's like a pyjama, like a hip hop pyjama.)


I should be sleeping now.
Goodnightz.

Hello Kidney!
and so the picture says it. My ward kinda specializes in renal cases and sowhathaveyou.


i want to say..


the past two days have been G R E A T!
and so i conclude,
I very very much enjoy my attachment!


Well of course, minus the negativities like being treated invisible, being looked down upon doctors/staff nurses, doing things that i would never do before and all.

but!
I feel a sense of satisfaction. Although it has been what, a few days only and i feel a bond with the patients i have been taking care of. Some are mean, some are funny, some are cute, some are pitiful. While some are really in need of care.

It feels so good to hear the patients say 'Thank you' to you though they are weak when they said it and it sounds so sincere. It feels good to see them smile at you with appreciation. It feels good they trust you to care for them. It feels good that i am building rapport with them.

________________________________________________


On Wednesday i was on morning shift. and i was shagged like shitz. The next two days which was Thursday and today, Friday, i was on afternoon shift. Did i mention that i love afternoon shifts?
I get to wake up late, get to reach on time, the workload is manageable comparable to in the morning and lastly, it is so cooling to go home at night!

and OMG!
THERE ARE HANDSOME AND HOT DOCTORS!
yes, handsome!
but i would like to smack the files on their faces one day. They're kinda proud and haughty.
Doctor so what? I am a nurse!

Building rapport.

'I think I felt a tinge of "nurse-ness" in me today. It really is quite fulfilling to see the patients under your care being discharged, albeit a little sad because you have already developed a bond with them.'

Jeanette

I agree with her. I feel sad that i might not be able to see the patients again after the weekend because they might be discharged already. But on the other hand, i feel happy for them that they can be discharged already. I'm gonna miss them.
