Nurses – Page 2 – hihi! DaDa

Back then..

I used to run around 3 wards/lodges throughout the night, then drive in snowy conditions with 2 inches of visibility, with undefrosted car, all the way back home etc etc. Nowadays, I’m running the length of this ward till my shoes squeak with protest (bwahaha them just aging like me) but at the end ofContinue reading “Back then..”

Working on CNY

Teehee, I’m usually not one for Chinese traditions as running around asking for Lai See, like kids running around for Halloween candy, but at least shows, I’m part of the work team. Hope someday I’ll be appreciated as an effective member, maybe even a reliable and helpful one?

If only every shift ends this way

Cold hands, Warm hearts

Nursing pet peeve #1

when someone says: “…., you’re a nurse, you should know better!” e.g. “veggies are healthy! you’re a nurse, you should know better!” “do more exercise! you’re a nurse you should know better”, “snacks is unhealthy, you’re a nurse, you should know better”! Why nurses?? isn’t it common knowledge??

ER/AED

Finished my next specialty placement in Accidents & Emergency department (AED) or Emergency Room (ER). Triage: one aspect unique to ER and one that requires many experience to make a correct judgement according to guidelines. Speed: how to do everything accurately, safely with speed. You never know what might come up next so everything has to be done asContinue reading “ER/AED”

CBIII: Postnatal

Just as i delayed my nursing career because I thought i’d be too scared of blood, i always doubted my ability to handle babies nonstop crying. However, after seeing a day or two old new life held in their dearest mother’s hands, their vibrant struggle in an unfamiliar environment, and trying hard to convey theirContinue reading “CBIII: Postnatal”

CBIII: MOPD

I don’t know whether it’s prejudice to the max or whether they deserve it, but today, I finally understand a teeny weeny tiny bit of how mainlanders might feel against hongers. Yes, staff are more impatient, but what can you expect if patients refuses to take responsibility for their own health, disagrees with every advice,Continue reading “CBIII: MOPD”

CBIII: OAH Day5

My experience at this nursing home exceeded expectations. Despite all those horror stories of OAHs in HK, this place has a great vibe, and I’m almost willing to live here when I grow senile (although Broadmead still tops in service and environment, in my standards at least). The staff at AHNNH (5/F) were all friendlyContinue reading “CBIII: OAH Day5”

CBIII: Geriatrics Day4

We were lucky this shift that a really nice nurse decided to take us under his wing and let us finally be able to do some “real” work (aka not just watching others do work) hence the time went by much faster. Had the chance to listen to a CGAT (community geriatrics assessment team) doctorContinue reading “CBIII: Geriatrics Day4”

CBIII: Geriatrics Day3

Had the opportunity to sit in part of a new admission to an old age home, and a multidisciplinary team meeting. Multidisciplinary meetings I’ve experienced before at RJH acute medical every morning and even presented my case, however, I was always too focused on my own bit and to nervous about my performance. As forContinue reading “CBIII: Geriatrics Day3”

CBIII: Geriatrics Day2

Wow, I have yet to be so uneasily bored at clinicals up till now. there’s nothing wrong with being bored and not having a whole santa’s list of things to do, but it’s fearing what people would think about us as students and the restlessness of the whole ordeal. Fine, I shan’t look a giftContinue reading “CBIII: Geriatrics Day2”
