almost quitting
I woke up 10am in the morning. I am relieved from fever but still I feel tired. I began doing my concept map, nursing diagnoses and care plans at 10am. I have only an hour to do it. I finished at 11:15am. I am very happy that I succeeded. I left the home for the afternoon nursery duty at 12:30pm. I began feeling uncomfortable, sick and untidy. I had this thinking to not attend classes but my mind says "NO!." I reached school at 1:15pm and immediately changed my uniform. I decided to attend duty anyway.
I had been taking paracetmol every 4hours. I feel confident that I will not breakdown during duty. I have a problem regarding my newborn assessment form but I calmed my self and proceed smiling amidst the uncertainty. We reached 5th floor, nursery section and I hasty done completing my newborn assessment form. Ms. Viason appeared and got our assignments first.
We started our duty at 2:15pm, I was assigned with 2 neonates. One was Decano and the other was a part of a twin, Chua A. I was happy being the nurse for the 2. I took their baseline vital signs and all were stable. I plotted them on 4pm as they were stable data. We also asked by Ms. Viason on certain information regarding the physiology of jaundice and hepatitis B vaccination on a neonate infected by hep B on birth. We had a little difficulty finding reference for the hepatitis B administration. I believe we need a lot of trusted resources for that.
We had 2 breaks, 4:30pm and 8:00pm. We enjoyed our dinner as we watched "The singing bee." It is good to entertain ourselves with the compnay of others. After the break, Ms. Viason returned our checked concept maps, nursing care plans. I felt satisfied when I received my work. I am not expecting a spectacular remark from mam since my work was done for an hour. I laughed when my nursing care plan #3 was remarked with "what else?" I really expecting those remarks.
Before leaving the nursery by 9:30pm, we write the appropriate intake, Bowel movement, urine outputs etc. on the monitoring sheet. When the night shift people arrived, we endorsed the babies to them I was really impressed when Mark’s turn was up. He really spoke the proper endorsement contents. I felt ashamed that I did not spoke of those data since I was one of the students Ms. Viason reminded of the contents of endorsement.
I left school at 10:30pm and reached at 11:30pm in home. I was a bit happy because I do not feel sick anymore just slightly. My father was suspecting another dengue case but I simply ignore it. The chances are already slim since we do appropriate measurements. I am a bit worried with my pimples on the face. Pimples decrease my self esteem somehow.
Life is simply beautiful when fears and obstacles are overcomed.
