yay just 2 more day shifts before i go on 3 nights then i'll be temporarily free for the next 21 days!!((:((: whoo! and the more exciting fact is that i get to see the awesome places the bible speaks of and be even more awed by the meticulous plans and creations by the wondrous working hand of our Lord((:


ah, i'm aching all over now. went for a full body massage yesterday after work and man did it hurt. kinda like the one my parents used to bring me to, except this time it was not for my back ache, and probably less painful too.
the previous times the masseuse would be saying how surprisingly relaxed my neck and shoulders are, but this time round, i had like a million knots at the neck/ shoulders area and another million knots in my calves:( if this continues i'm sure to get dvt one day. sigh, plus they're difficult to disperse and very painful:(.
actually, i'm not sure if the massage made me more relaxed or what, not feeling much of a difference.


and meh, just one day off from work and i'm dreading it again.

i'm so tired i think i'm ready to die!
ahhh.
okay in fact i'm always so tired, and always ready to die. like anytime.

the day before, the d.p.s had a new member, #5. from bed 1 again. aiyo.
and i think i'm terribly inhumane, i couldn't stop laughing when eewon was trying to tell me how she died. come to think of it, it wasn't really very funny at all la and almost sad actually, no one realised when she actually stopped breathing and turned cold.
but i think that's one way i deal with deaths, i laugh it away.


ooh its raining now. yay i love the rain. but when i'm sheltered that is. don't like getting wet, which is pretty ridiculous cos i swim.
i think because its cool and comfy so patients tend to sleep more and have more pleasant moods and press call-bells a whole lot lesser and relatives are probably stuck in traffic/rain (haha) or decide not to travel so fewer come and visit. and doctors are more relaxed and easy-going too. yay.


and yes went shopping with abby today, just the both of us and i tell you we cannot go shopping together.
we both bought a top, a bottom and a hairband each, i got 4 pairs of shoes, and she got 6 (!!). and i got 3 bags she got 2. and i bought another 3 dresses.
tsk.


okay i'm just rambling, don't want to go to bed cos i hardly get to waste time like this but now i have nothing to do. and watching shining inheritance now a bit the late already. haiya.

i am dead tired, but what's new anyway.
i finally got to sleep for 12 hours straight, after sleeping for only 4-5h for the past few nights, and working 10-11h in the day. quite a mad rush these past few days were, rushing to finish work on time everyday in order to meet up with people and attend huifen's birthday and go for sgbf and meet my mom for dinner.



i have a love-hate relationship with work. and the people in there.


and i'm actually quite annoyed by a lot of little things, must be heat. and hm, feeling angsty too.
stupid mercy west merged with seattle grace and now i have intruders in my favourite show. i'm ridiculous i know, but i hate them intruders. stupid locusts they are.
don't like how the show's evolving either, hate the new casts.
and please for goodness sake don't ask me out or say okay if you're going to cancel and back out or postpone the date/outing. you have no idea how much i look forward to them at work.
the post office lost my f21 parcel!!! my dad went to collect and they said they couldn't find it, and that's it?! i'm so going to go down to make a fuss tmr. man, seriously.

and i've realised no one outside of the medical profession actually knows what nurses to at work. so let me tell you.
-we do basic nursing care - we clean and serve and tidy and get ordered around just like a maid.
-we fill up monitoring charts and write reports on what was done during the shift.
-we carry out doctor's orders - eg. they order blood investigations? we put out the form, take the blood and send it off to the lab. they order x-rays, ultrasounds, scopes? we put out the form, chase the doc to fill it out, fax it the the respective rooms, call them up to make sure they recieved the fax, call them up later again to arrange for appointment times if we need to. and of course a whole other bunch of stuff too.
-we serve medications every 8 hourly. sometimes more often, depending on orders.
-we send & fetch patients to operations, and sometimes if the pt is immobile we have to follow them to scans and scopes and all that investigations.
-we're the middle-person and scapegoat to everything. we lias with the patient/relative/pharmacist to the doctor and vice versa. irritates us most when relatives chase us to get the doctors to update them. not our problem if we have told the doctor to update but he doesn't right. wrong, the nurses are supposed to answer all requests by the patients/relatives.
mentioning about this matter, wah i was really pissed yesterday cos some doctor vented his frustration on us for making him update this relative. not our fault when relatives are annoying/demanding/retarded right. wrong, cos we are nurses, and nurses are supposed to please relatives, lest they complain.
something goes wrong, we're first to get into trouble. doctors order wrong meds/investigations, its our fault cos we're supposed to be alert enough to point the mistakes out. if we're so smart we wouldn't need doctors anymore.
-and most importantly, we ensure patient's safety.

you think we're very free? wrong, we're just efficient.
honestly, i don't see how nursing is noble. because its tough you'd say, but only because you made it difficult.
