the fasting month is coming very2 soon. tomorrow night is already the terawih prayers and thurs is already the 1st day of fasting month. woah im so breathless cos everything happens so fast.

Monday.
today is the 1st day of my posting at obstetric ward. jus like any 1st day, everything is pretty blur. luckily, i was able to find the ward. when i reached the ward, i didnt see any soul around.i was getting paranoid den suddenly i saw some of my friends. we walked towards the staff room and put our bags. den work started.sister arranged me, huda and siu ying to the nursery room. i didnt know what to expect but when i went into the room, i saw many babies, crying all at the same time. there was only 1 staff ard as the other 2 staff was on mc. luckily the staff nurse was nice to us and showed us whats the routine for nursery. i told the staff nurse tt i didnt hold an infant before n she guided me all the way. i owe it to her. now i feel brave to carry an infant n feed them. the CI came and guided us thru infant bathing. each of us got to do infat bathing. all day long we jus fed the babies, change the diapers, bathe the baby and document the i/o. it was fun and kept us busy for the day. after work, bf picked me up at KKH and we took a cab to cathay cineplex to watch 'no reservations'. i didnt think tt the movie was great. its alright lah. the starting and middle part was pretty lengthy and boring. but the msg behind the movie is good. so i rate the movie 3 out of 5. at night, syam and aishah picked us up at paya lebar n we went for dinner at west coast. it was aishah's birthday. happy belated 24th birthday aishah! den syam sent me home and the rest went home.

Tuesday.
Its the 2nd day. mum sent me to work today. we couldnt stay at the nursery for the whole wk. we have to rotate and today, im at the antenatal and postnatal side. we did sponging and perineum care for a patient and it was my 1st time doing it. it was pretty confusing when it comes to taking the vital signs. i got thrashed by the staff nurse. i took BP for a patient and i immediately record the readings on chart, without realising tt the BP was high n the patient is antenatal. i didnt inform the staff nurse n when she checked the chart, she freaked. she said i had to take the BP of the patient laterally for correct reading. i jus kept quiet n did it. den she said 'see i told u the reading is different. aiya'. omg. how the hell did i know? dammit. den i wanted to cancel it den she said ' don cancel ah. go find blanko and blanko it'. omg. who uses blanko nowadays? its call liquid paper now. sheesh. we didnt know that there was a portable BP set for all pts so huda used the dinamap n got thrashed too. the thing abt the staff nurse is tt she didnt explain to us properly n shes so fucked up. den i said that huda and i are going break. den she said 'huh? only now want to go break? y nvr go earlier? quick lah.' i was like wth.we realised that only certain time u need to take BP, temp, PR, RR, n pain score. at 2 pm, we took vital signs with her again. tis time, she told us specifically what to do n we followed her orders. haiz. i left at 3pm n went to meet min at jurong east. tks for the souvenirs dear. its nice =)

its such a 'thrashed out' day today. im hoping tmr would be a gd day.
