RLE

it was my first duty on the hospital ward, my previous rotation was in the OR and community....excited from my classmates' ward stories i was really looking forward in interacting with the patients and making use of still tiny nursing skills...

these are some of what i already did:

-regulated a non-dripping IV..hahaha..i never thought that what i did was the right way.i taped the infusion chamber so it would be high enough to flow...i learnedlaetr that day that i was really supposed to be that way

-i shaved the perineal area of a male patient, a pre op procedure for cholecystectomy...hahahaha..imagine me infront of the standing guy in the bathroom only inches away from his genitals and only gloves preventing us from skin2skin contact..hahaha..

-watched a urinary catherization on a LOLA...now this is funny..as my CI and classmate find her urethral opening, LOLA said "ito yun oh" while she attempted to touch her pussy and point it..we were laughing secretively and was joking that what if LOLA would come to the ER and tell the people there that shes in labor with her FIRST BABY..PRIMI LOLA....

-removed an IV of a patient...cool...simple...but the interesting part was when we saw that blood was oozing out of the wound...his hand was really soaking in blood..i called our CI fast running...hahaha..

more ward tales nxt post...cheers everyone..
