Against all odds
I woke up at 9am and I immediately checked my body temperature. It is normal, 36.5 celsius. I prepared my self in going to school for our nursery duty. I reached school at 1pm. I changed my clothes to the appropriate Nursery uniform and our group reached nursery at, 1:55pm.
Our clinical instructor for 2 days of this week (thursday and friday) is Ms. Viason. She is smart, hardworking and pretty. We started with an endorsement from the morning shift and I was fascinated by it. By 2:15pm, We entered inside the nursery and I was assigned to Baby Decano. Baby Decano was a quiet one than the other babies. I was anxious when his vital signs did not reach to the normal range values. Ms. Viason and the nurse on duty told me it is normal. Ms. Viason wants us to make our concept map with nursing diagnosis on it (4). By 7pm, Ms. Viason checked our concept maps and nursing diagnoses. I was the first one and was relieved when I’m done. I had a lot of editing and additions to make. My case was shared by Mr. Gonzales, my group mate.
We had two food break, one was on 5pm to 5:30pm and the other is 8:05pm to 8:55pm (dinner). the half of the group is with me and we converse mostly on "the singin bee." I had eaten a meaty diet composed of pig meat and sliced potatoes. I also consumed 2 1/2 cups of rice. We returned to the nursery section at 8:55pm. We completed what was missing in the table for endorsement to the night shift. We finished our duty at 9:45pm.
I and Mr. Mark Gonzales endorsed the babies to the night shift. I was partially nervous but as I talk I became confident. I endorsed half of the babies and Mark endorsed half of them too. I had a little bloopers while endorsing repeating good evening twice. In the end, I was happy because I had experienced endorsing patients which I failed to do in the delivery room. Ms. Viason told me that there are missing information from the endorsement which I understand. She also told me to stay calm and I replied that stress is normal for me.
I commuted on the way home. I rode an air-conitioned bus and reached home at 11:19pm. I tried to call my special someone but the cell phone is busy. I started writing this blog at 11:25pm. I am really dedicated to writing my blog everyday. It is someone been transformed to an online diary.
We have to pass a nursing care plan for each nursing diagnosis with a concept map and the newborn assessment form. I hope I will stake awake tomorrow. It would be grueling hot. I also feel sick, I am not really sweating as I sat in front of the computer. I hope everything will be fine tomorrow duty.
Wish me all the best of health!
