#76 Clinical Prac Day 6
Here's another edition of my boring day at my clinical prac...
well this morning was one hell of a cold... went to the nursing home, did our usual hand over thingy, then asked margaret if she would like me to get my resident ready for my assessment.
so i went to have a chat with my resident..
'I dont want to get out of bed or have a wash until after breakfast. its too cold.'
so i told margaret that, and she said we'll just have to do the assessment after my medical round which would be around morning tea time. OKAY... so off i went, looking for people to help.
well basically Lauren, Pei and I were just bumming around walking here and there, trying our best to avoid showers. LOL 3 people making one bed! haha what a joke. anyway this morning was a really slow one. everyone didnt want to get out of bed! well i dont blame them... its so freaking cold and the bloody heaters aint on. wonder if the place even has any heaters in the first place. LOL
anyway, saw Jing, and realized Margaret told her that she's got her medical rounds... which would be the same time as mine. so i asked Jing to go ask margaret and check with her, as i was with Pei feeding one resident (slacking as usual - BUT i was holding the empty bowl) anyway after feeding that client, i saw that Jing apparently hadnt asked Margaret about the medication rounds. Like WTH?? so i had to go look for Margaret and sort things out myself. and apparently Margaret just kept thinking that im Jing. (must be the LING on my yueling. LOL)
so after doing everything, i just waited for Jing's medication round to be done...but after that, instead of getting me, Margaret got another girl instead, to do a simple wound dressing. LOL like okay... when's my turn... but yea i stayed around Margaret so that i can get my assessment done ASAP.
and FINALLY... Margaret goes and asks me to get ready for my assessment. YAY! well since my resident had recently dislocated a shoulder, and has a fractured Right pubic rami (at the pelvis) and 2 broken ankles, Margaret asked me to modify it, and so i basically just did neck, jaw, left arm and toes. i just described the rest, like what i would to if I were to be doing a proper assessment. LOL and i passed! WHEEEEEE (i think...lol i didnt hear her say if i passed.. just that i did good. LOL)
so tomorrow im doing my medical rounds... must remember the 6 rights..
Right Patient
Right Day
Right Time
Right Drug
Right Dosage
Right Documentation
apparently Jing forgot those... wonder how it'll go.... hope i dont forget it tomorrow..
anyway im so tired... went to school for a meeting after prac... got home at around 4.45pm, took a shower, then just waited for dinner to be cooked. LOL im a baby yes i know. LOL
well he's still at work.. and he's going out later to a hotel to pass something to them to send out. well i still miss him. miss him lots. raahhhhh sometimes i feel so pesky. like just cant leave him alone... just keep smsing him etc.
RAAAHHHHH im a p.e.s.k.y person. LOL
*screams at self to leave the poor man alone*
