hay buhay Nars

hindi ako pagod......sobra, sobra, sobrang pagod. konti na lang mamamatay nako!!!

Kung bakit ba naman kasi, naisipan ko pang mag Nar-s ulit e and sarap sarap ng buhay ko sa pag memed-rep. Walang doctor na masungit pag tinatawagan, walang ka endorse na akala mo hindi marunong magkamali, at walang ka endorse na nag iiwan nag lahat ng trabaho. Kung pwede lang mamitik ng tenga!

Eto naman ksing si amo e, ilang buwan pa lang na pangalawang pinuno, akala mo nakalimutan na nya kung gano katoxic ang floor. Pagtrabahuhin ba ako ng limang sunod-sunod na araw! As if naman nakaupo lang ako plagi at naghihintay lang ng uwian. Akala mo di nya alam na after 2 days e halos ayaw mo nang bumalik sa jungle na tinatawag na 6 south! Utang na loob!

Kaya ko namang intindihin na me mga trabahong maiiwan sa sobra ngang kaguluhan sa gubat. Pero ang sabihin mo sakin na hindi mo trabaho yan, na bhala na ang doktor kung kelan nya makita...hello???? Baka bumangon si Florence Nightingale at bigla kang batukan! E di i-write up nga kita habang tumutulo ang luha ko sa sobrang frustration. Kakainis e.

so heto ko, after 5 days na straight na trabaho, kailangan ko namang maglaba ng 2 weeks worth na damit, maglinis ng banyo at magpalit ng bedsheet. Susmaryosep, walang katapusan! Makanuod na nga lang ng Brokeback Mountain

crazy scary

It's true when they say your whole life flashes in front of you when you're about to die......

I got the scare of my life the other day. It started on my back, like a muscle tightness. Then it slowly creeped to my chest, sharp pain and tightness at the same time. I tried to breathe as deep as I can, 1,2, I don't know how many times. I had to get the Oxygen into my heart, fast. I realized that my patient was looking intently at me because I was just staring out the window for I don't know how long. My whole life just flashed before me.....not only that...my future as well. I thought about going to the ER, getting all the labs and procedures done, bracing myself for the bad news. I imagined myself on the cathlab table and having someone put pressure on my groin. For what seemed like a million minutes after, I finally relaxed, and the pain was slowly creeping away. I could have cried, I wanted to. But I did not have time.....it was one of those crazy days on the floor. So while I was having the scare of my life, I carried on with my work...taking care of patients who had the same scary experience as I had just then.

Maybe Marty was right, it could very well be just a muscle strain. I'll take that.....it's just a muscle strain. God, please, let it just be a muscle strain!

one of those days

Bedrest up on pt in room ***, I have to check ortho bp's. Pt #2 is due for his peg feeding, pt #3 wants to ambulate and pt #4 just wants so bad to join the fun so he asks for info on every little detail. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Ang hirap kumita ng pera!!!!

Be thankful for small blessings........

1. Thank you at walang nakaisip mg code "brown". I did not have to wipe anybody's ass.
2. Thank you that all 3 accuchecks were within normal, I did not have to give insulin.
3. Thank you 3 of 4 patients had foleys in , there weren't very many calls for assistance to the bathroom and it's easier to keep track of their outputs.
4. Thank you pt#3's relatives came to visit and ambulated him.

Thank you pagdating ng paycheck ko!!!!!!

last day on a 3 straight wordays. Silly me, I thought 3 days work and 1 day off will be ok. 3 weeks into the schedule and I'm already feeling tired, debating about calling in every single day. I gotta have 2 days off....in a row.

I woke up this morning still debating if I want to call in for today. I finally convinced myself to go on ahead and work, since I'm off tomorrow anyway. It'll be an easy day mikee. Or so I thought.

Easy cannot be used to describe what I had to deal with today. It wasn't busy, it's just not easy. First thing I did was wipe ass. The very last thing I did was wipe ass!

For some reason, they always decide to do something crazy at the very last minute. Like being quiet the whole day, very comfortable and then at 2245, decides to get out of bed. She can't walk! If she would have bugged me earlier in the shift, I would have made sure i had a bedcheck, an order for ativan and a foley. But no, no, no......she fooled me bigtime! At 2330, I was in her room, trying to convince her to sleep.

You're off tomorrow, mikee!

breaktime!

something to look forward to.....I'm off tomorrow!

2. A patient from days ago asking about me and wishing I'll stop by sometime (her wish was granted).

1. A niece (or nephew) on the way.

Bummer!

After the most pleasurable Christmas party we had last night, I hit the sack with no more than a "bedroom" voice from still trying to sing with a very very sore throat. I woke up in chills, headache and abdominal and back pain! Full blown flu!

Bummer.

In an instant I found myself crying. Not because I feel self-pity being sick and very cold and not having someone to hug me or make me chicken soup. Not because I'm losing another $--- for calling in. No, no, no!

It's because I'm scheduled to leave for Lake Tahoe tomorrow and I won't be able to enjoy it if I'm sick! Am I going to be stuck in the hotel room while everbody else is off skiing????? No way!

I'm not feeling any better, well, minus the chills. I hope things change by tomorrow..........
