~ When My Creative Vibe Sets In ~
2:32:00 pm
The bright and sunny days are here again! Well, probably only for a day or two... But I really hope it'll stay! But it's really something nice for a change...
Well, I've mentioned in a few entries ago that I was part of the ward party committee which was held exactly a week ago... Anyway, I helped out in creating of the invitation cards and we actually received many compliments from various people that the invitation cards were, well, creative...
Majority thought that we spent lots of money in printing of the cards... But actually, all it took was a laptop, a home printer with coloured ink, metallic papers (very cheap!), some decorative glue and confetti, a penknife and ruler... *Haha*...
And this was the result...
My mum telling me that I could start a business in creating cards... *Haha*... Yeah right!
And it seems that the creativity has caught my NO's attention... And now, I am given an inevitable task, to me that is... *Haha*... And it is to create birthday cards for every staff in the ward... Mind you, it's 40 cards to design okay!! Oh gosh... *Haha*...
Anyway, I've already designed my first card and that means that I still have 39 cards more to go... *Hurhur*...
My first birthday card design with a simple "Happy Birthday" on the inside...
Anyway, all the best to me... *Haha*...
And as a tradition, let me blog about my previous round of my night duty...
Just one word to describe it... "HORRENDOUS"...
Well, it was okay on the first night... In fact, it was relaxing...
But the second night was the worse and most disastrous... I was passed over with 6 empty beds with 1 transfer in from the High Dependency Ward... My patient was on 4 hourly CVP monitoring, 4 hourly hypocount monitoring, hourly parameters and 8 hourly IV medications... And if you guessed that I've admitted all the 6 beds, well, you're right!
I ended up admitting 6 patients and ALL of them came one after another... Even the superstition of bringing out the folders on the counter didn't work... I nearly broke down halfway but I had to compose myself despite all odds... And thankfully, I managed to survive through the night, thanks to the other Staff Nurse who helped me in the changes... A very very very tiring night...
Third night, I had one admission but I was really very tired due to the flu that I was down with...
And yes, this was the worse round of night... Ever... And I'm sure, there's still more to come...
