hospital duty

last january 16-17, 2008, we had our first ever hospital duty. our group was assigned at quezon city st. agnes general hospital. our clinical instructor is our adviser, ma'am malagayo. for our first time, me and my groupmates decided to meet up at jollibee mendiola so that we could all go together. i said that call time was 6:00am, but, knowing my gorupmates, i know they will come late. and i was right. most of them came late and i was really pissed off.
when we were all complete, we walked to morayta because it is where we were supposed to ride a jeepney going to the hospital. we were running out of time because we were already late. good thing there wasn't much traffic during that time. by the time we got there, ma'am malagayo and our other 2 groupmates were already there. we were 20 minutes late so our C.I. told us to make an incident report. we then went inside the hospital. we waited for the chief nurse to tend to us but it was only our C.I. whom she talked to.
me and my groupmates didn't like the attitude of the chief nurse that much. we were actually kinda scared. then, we were asked to go to the classroom set up for student nurse who is having their duty. some students from fatima university were also having their duty there at the same time. during the few hours of time, our clinical instructor told us what we are supposed to do with our nursing care plan. she discussed to us important things about the requirements we are supposed to pass for the hospital duty. after the discussion, our C.I. searched for potential clients for us to assess and interview. most of us were assigned in the pedia ward. we finally started with our interview.
me and nheng were partners. we interviewed a 3 year old girl who was admitted to the hospital because of LBM. the girl was crying all the time when i was taking out some of the things from my clinical bag. her mother told us that she is always crying because she was injected with the I.V. me and nheng didn't pay much attention to our patient but we were still able to gather the necessary informations we needed. we played with the 9 months old baby next to our patient's bed. his name is ashlee. i thought at first that the baby was a girl because of her name but i found out later on that it was a boy.
he has so much energy and he's very very cute. everyone of us was really fond of playing with him. after our interview, we went to find a carinderia where we could eat our lunch. it wasn't that far from the hospital. the pork teriyaki that i ate was delicious. i felt so full during that time. it was also nice talking to our adviser about our concerns. she was really nice to us unlike other C.I.s of the level 2. after we have eaten our lunch, we went back to the hospital. coming back, we thought of the things that we are supposed to do about our case presentation. we waited for the time to go fast so that we could all leave.
after waiting for time to pass y, we then finally went home at 1:45 pm, when in fact our duty was up to 3pm. anyways, we rode a jeepney going back home. it was a really tiring ride and when i got home i immediately took a long sleep. when i woke up, i was burning with a hot temperature. i was really surprised because it hasn't been a while that i had a fever. my eyes were burning too, they hurt so much. i really thought that it would continue but thankfully it didn't.
the next day. we were almost late. i had to wait for my classmate at lrt santolan for almost 15 minutes. our call time was actually 5:45am bu when i texted her, she said she woke up late. i also saw there my fiend so she accompanied me while i was waiting for my classmate. i didn't really want to be late again for the second time because i didn't like writing incident reports. finally, she arrived. at first i was really mad. then, we took off at anonas station and from there we rode a jeep going to pantranco.
i was really pissed off with the jeepney driver because he had to stop in front of the school were there were so many students going down form their service. my temper was reaching the high level. i walked so fast that my classmate couldn't keep up with me. good thing we weren't late. when we saw our group, we went to the classroom to prepare for the activities. we were all busy preparing for our case study. we first proceeded with the case study, then with the quiz. we were only half day at the hospital because ma'am malagayo had to bring her daughter to the doctor. that's all..
