I am a nursing student as you know. Well maybe there are some things that I should boast or I should be proud of. Though there are some very challenging and undoubtedly very difficult times that lies behind this journey, there are also some things that soothes me and can make me smile. This semester we are exposed to different areas in the hospital but it was more likely focused on child and maternal wards.

My first duty was on the Pediatric Charity which really sucks, It was a very traumatic experience i wish i could put it on Dumbledore's pensieve or somehow it will regress as time goes by.It is a long story, i guess it will take me two entries to finished it. XD. Second is on the new building, w/c i don't also want to talk about but my previous entry is about my stay there.

Thirdly, is on the Out Patient department which really is kinda cool, our instructress is great and cool, the area is well i think is not in my area of expertise. My only job there is to be a barker, shouting surnames of patients that will eventually get mad if their names was called late and someone who is actually late, called first.

There is an instance in that ward where all the mothers goes gaga on me, they are like bees squeezing me and telling me that their names was on the list first but some mothers are called early they come to me like I was the crowds enemy. *sighs*, I come to enroll myself in this program not to be a barker and yet they are like that to me, thanks to my long lasting stretchable patience. Ms. A. our C.I there was kinda funny, she throws jokes and stuffs. One thing I mastered there is to compute AOG's and EDC's of mothers there. Imagine about 150+ out patients. Also is mastering the art of injecting tetanus toxoid to the mother's deltoid aside from taking vital signs. Sometimes I thought that is Nursing the perfect occupation form me. Thoough some instructors told me that I can be a better nurse, but I can't imagine myself being a nurse.

Fourth duty is on the Nursery Ward (charity), it is a special area, that's why we are able to wear for the first time our Scrub suit which really make me look like McDreamy of Greys'. Thank God our C.I there is already our C.I last summer, that's why we feel great and good at her. Nursery is great. we are exposed to different skills that should be rendered to a newborn. From receiving the baby, to cord care, to cleaning the baby removing the vernix caseosa to bathing the newborn. Then taking the anthropometrics, signing papers for newborn records, to rooming in the babies to their mothers. There I experienced to be a dad, from preparing the babies bottle, preparing the milk formula to inserting the bottle to the babies mouth letting them suck it, and sadly if they are poorly sucking it you should try different styles in order for them to drink it. After feeding, of course burping the baby which really making me crazy because I can't distuinguish the sound. AMP. It is my first time there to handle a newborn with pneumonia which is placed on the isolation area. Taking his v/s every 15 minutes to check his stability, feeding him and wrapping him to blankets because he is hypothermic also placing droplight to him, whoo, I am so attached to babies and children. I wish I could be a better father to my children someday.

And there on the Nursery Charity where I met an 8 mo. cute little baby girl. I feel like her father or somehow I wish that I could be his father. I even gave her a souvenir toy, so that someday he will remember me. I am into crying right now. Moving on. I really mastered bathing a newborn. Because every morning there is this time that is alloted for the babies to bathe. So the parents lined up outside for their babies to smell like a baby. lol. Of course one thing that is kinda aloofing is that when your baby poops. Especially if the poo is so sticky like a sundot-kulangot ( a food from Baguio). Of course cleaning it is a Nursing aide's job, but because we came there to learn and to experience we took the challenge.). I really love our C.I there she is one of the C.I's which really wants our to eat alltogether with her. I will surely miss working in that ward. I never had troubled working with my groupmates because they are one of my best friends in that College. That's why working with them in Nursery ward is just like we are palying and enjoying ourselves there. Well I think it is the bonding we had since our first duty on our 2nd year there. It is not like a competition to them, hence it is like you are competing to yourselves and there they are cheering.

And now here we are on the Delivery room it is my first day yesterday. We are on the night shift from 3 pm to 11 in the evening. Well what will you expect to see on the DR? Of course a woman's womanity. XD. yeah it is my first time to assist a doctor to pull the baby out, to make some stitches to insert my bare finger to a woman's thing. I did not perform an I.e. I just put the  catheter inside the woman's urinary meatus. Yes and of course my hands are shacky; It is not in my small nor big dreams to prep in to a labor. My expertise is on the O.R.lol. ). Maybe this will serve as a stepping stone for my future exposure in the Operating room. One thing i really hate in that ward is me cleaning the used instruments. AMP. But in fairness i am able to memorize those instruments at once from the tissue forceps to small clamp. And on the first day i received my first actual and assist delivery cases. I hope this day will have more woman to be on labor. . Our C.I there looks like my Highschool English teacher. . Well i think that's it for now.

I am sorry me dear readers of my blog if It takes me a long time to post an entry, maybe there are already thousand of new users of tabulas who don't know me because of my long absence. I hope I can be a regular blogger here again. Just pray for me this time again so that I can pass 3rd yr 1st semester again. I will thank you all for the prayers. It really works trust me!
