Gerd posting was finally over. What a great relief. Almost want to give up on myself during de ward attachment. The toughest attachment of all I ever being to. Physically tired, mentally demanding. What to do, I'm still a student nurse. Sometimes, we students were sort of being pushed about in de ward. We are there to learn and meet our various objectives and yet we were told to do the things they dunwan to do. We dont mind helping out doing all the junior's work when they (always) doesnt have a junior in the team especially in the AM shift. GOKY. But beside doing all de junior's jobs we yr3 still have yr3's objectives to meet. We got to rush in order nt to miss de doc's round and doing changes for our cases. I tried my very very best to attend to every pts' basic needs and I'm dealing with 8 pts, 4 bed-bound cum MCM care pts, alone in the cubicle. But all I get by the end of my shift was faces of displeased & disapproved by the PM shift as I only just went dwn to buy my lunch therefore the IO charts were left nt updated. So in the end I had to leave my lunch behind in order to finish those never-ending work and to pass report as well. So my lunch became my brunch-cum-dinner as I brought home. And it really taste sucky by the time I ate in the evening.

Of cuz after that day I became very discouraged, wondering how am I going to survive the rest of the days in the ward. No matter what, I cant run away from it. So over the weekends, I gave myself time and had a "self-counseling" session with ownself. Telling myself of instead looking whole as a toil why not look it as a challenge for myself? Sometimes, we do have to learn the hard way, isnt it? What matters is as long you know you gave your very best of it, then it's fair to myself. You will make your day if you starts it right in the day. So.. anyway I survived. Thanks to myself.
And ya million thanks to you Phadz for being there to lend me a helping hand when I needed most. This Gerd posting may be our last time working together, but I will never the times we went thr all along the attachments, and nt forgetting de jokes we made during the postings.

What I enjoyed most during the Gerd posting was the 2 days of HSE. We went round the island for home visits by public transports; ranging from TPY to Queen's road to Bukit Timah to Geylang to Little India to Bugis etc, sounds like having USR right? haha.
Get to see wounds and bedsores we didnt get to see in hospital. There's one pt with mutiple bedsores and one of the sore is so worse till that we can see the femur bone thr the hole created by the sore. The sore was so deep that we flushed the hole with saline but there's no saline flowing out of it. woots.
Second day of HSE, all the cases are living in the one-room flat except for one case in private house. The most interesting case for the day was our first visit. It was my first time going to 1-room flat housing areas. I only get to see it from tv but not in real life. The first visit live an old ah ma, and she scrapped through her livings by buying 4-D. And she's always so lucky to win almost every week and it somehow became a earning for her thr buying 4-D. And she saves so much where she will re-use the bandage over n over again by washing it. We wanted to open a new bandage as the old one was washed till it shrinked in size but she still insisted in using the old one. Haiz. Beside providing nursing care for her, we went down to the wet market to buy some veggie and fishy for her as there's barely any food for her to eat at home and it's not safe for her to get around. So it was our first time wearing nursing uniform in a wet market buying things haha. And ya I rmb in the ah ma's hse where it freaked both of us out when we saw a dead snake in a bottle which looked like some tonic haha. The sight of it makes me shiver down my spine. Woots!
During the different home visits, we get to enjoy the different sceneries of SG as most of the pts live very high up. And we found out that Bukit Timah Hill looks actually quite high-up from far haha. And ya SG is indeed small.

The long dark corridors of 1-rm flats.
But there's always light at the end of every tunnels no matter how dark it's.

The snake in the glass bottle, nope, it's not a genie in a bottle. Woots.
