Work lately has been very taxing... And I'm emphasizing on the word 'VERY'...
With our heavy workload, we are either short on staff or there will be something that would make us so busy... Just on the male side alone, there are 3 patients who are on the Dangerously Ill List on Active management... Meaning that if there are any of the 3 patients who collapse, it would be active resuscitation all the way... Furthermore, there are the newly graduated staff who needs to be guided all along the way...
Just today alone, we were short on staff and I had to take all 19 cases (inclusive of the isolation room) since there were only 2 staff nurses around... And even though it was a Sunday morning, I would say that it was quite a busy morning...
I can't imagine if it would have been a weekday morning... It would not just be chaotic, it would be a WARZONE!! Everyone, and I literally mean 'EVERYONE' (from doctors to nurses to therapist to whatever-you-name-it), would be fighting for the casenotes, treatment sheets, etc...
Honestly, I'm dying for a holiday... But what can I do? I still have school to attend... Even if I am granted leave now, there is no way I can get away...
Talking about school, I've just ended my first exam on Friday... Actually, the paper is more simpler than I've thought... But well, since I didn't really study (busy + tired + lazy), I doubt I would score high marks for it...
Oh well...
