emily rose

a part of being a student nurse is you get to experience UNFORGETTABLE AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES while your in the area. some are iunteresting, mostly funny, but some are nerve breaking..
this morning, while i was taking the bp of a patient with seizure precautions, she started jerking mildly. i know that i have to give diazepam PRN(meaning when needed) but i dont know if its the right time. so while the relatives are holding her, i rushed out of the room and called my CI. she just asked me to support ehr and the nurse arrives and prepared the diazepam. but after that, she still had her seizure episodes. some major..some just minors..
i was shock at first..i have not seen a patient having a seizure. but after several episodes with her, i have maintained my composure even though my hands are knocking painfully at the foot of the bed whenever she kicks..hahaha.
sabi nga ng CI ko. Naka ngiti pa raw ako kahit na nagsei2zure na siya..
