~ STRESSFUL DAY!! ~
7:53:00 pm
*Yawn*... Feeling SO sleepy... Well, only got about 4 hours of sleep last night...
Anyway, today was a SUPER stressful day at work... Working with SN Lay Wee each time really makes me feel very stressful... I was quite on the verge of breaking down but still managed to control myself from doing so... *GRRRRR!!*... Even Flora and Eliza were telling me to take it easy since I'm just a student... But since I'm doing the cases, I have to learn how to shoulder the responsibilities too right? *Sigh*... I mean I can't say no either... Thank goodness I'll be doing junior work tomorrow... Otherwise, I would have to take all 9 cases... *Faints*...
Heard about some work politics again... This time round, something to do about races... Now, I'm really thinking twice about coming back to this ward... I mean, I don't mind being posted there again after my graduation but I have to learn how to be firm with people around me and make my stand when I'm right... Not to be 'bullied' by those who are big-headed people... Afterall, I want to specialise in Geriatrics... So let's not bother too much about those people...
One of my patient got really ill today... Saturation went as low as 60% despite being given 100% oxygen... Kinda sad to see him like that since I had nursed him all the way back since my first week in the ward...
And yeah, I'm one of the 'victims' of a
Lao Ti Ko patient... Actually happened during my first night shift... I was putting the BP cuff on the patient's arm and guess what he did? He was caressing and stroking my arm!! Immediately removed my hand away as soon as I finished placing the BP cuff... Initially, I dismissed it as unintentional although I did felt that something was not right... He was practically observing my EVERY MOVE in the cubicle... Decided not to report it to my staff nurse in the end... Until I came to work this morning, while passing the central report, they mentioned to keep a lookout for the patient of that particular bed... And I realised that this patient is really 'cheeky'... One of the NOs got touched on the bum and another staff nurse suffered the same fate as me... And the patient was actually
masturbating (sorry for not being too discreet... *Hehe*) in the open... Got some warning but he repeated his actions again... After all as said by NO Laura, everyone has their sexual desires so it's kinda wrong to prevent them from doing so... Only that this is NOT the right way... I will definitely take my precautions from now on...
Maybe this is the disadvantage of not having male nurses around... *Guys! We need you!! Haha*...

Was bloghopping to Biao Yong's blog and I just realised how beautiful and cool MacRitchie Nature Reserve is... I just love those green, eye-relaxing nature... I wanna go there and explore too! Anyone wanna take me there?? *Haha*... Just kidding...
