OR Duty : 1st case cauterization
Monday, June 22, 2009
We just finished our first duty today in the Operating Room at St. Paul's Hospital. The first day of duty is supposed to be the orientation day, we we're introduced to the different people and venues in the hospital. It was not that big of an event. We were all anticipating that after our clinical instructor have toured us in the hospital we could all go home but what happened is that by the time that we visited the operating room we were asked to change in our scrub suits. Noooooo.

First thing that came to my mind is that I'm going to do gloving and surgical handwashing. Psh. Good thing that we were just toured inside the OR. Introduced to some of the equipments and we started to familiarize ourselves with the machines and different areas of the OR.

There is only one case today in St. Paul's Operating Room.

Written on the white board.

8am *name of patient* cauterization *name of surgeon* *name of anesthesiologist*

I thought that we will be able to handle that first case or at least observe the surgery. But after an hour or two of waiting for the time of operation. It is said that the patient requested that there should be no student who will assist on the surgery or even watch. My RLE group and I were very disappointed.

"Nag-iisang case na nga lang sa araw na to' ipagkakait niyo pa."

BENIGN lang.Paupo upo. Nagkwentuhan. Nanlait ng mga nilalang. GANON.

Anyways. Hopefully by next week's duty we will have more than one case that we can actually handle, So that our group will easily complete our minor and major cases in the Operating Room.

Blogging Again?
Thursday, June 04, 2009
It's been a long time since I blogged, and this blog has been used by many other people. Haha. First, my friend for his project, then our group in Sociology and Anthropology for our project, then now, I'm finally using it again.

Why blog again? I just felt like it. It's always that sudden feeling that made me go into blogging again. It took me a lot of time finding a suitable layout for my new blog. and then I found this one, I don't know if it's the best that I can find 'cause I got tired of searching for the perfect layout.

Moving on, 4 days to go and I'm finally going back to school again. I'm excited because of the fact that I'll be wearing my white uniform already. :] I'm sure everyone in our school is excited to wear the infamous nurse's uniform. That is what we are all been waiting for. On the two years that we spent working hard and throwing our lives away, the white uniform is now our reward. I know it's not a big deal for other nursing schools, because they have been wearing that uniform ever since they started going to college. But for us, it's the most important thing now. It sounds stupid, I know. Oh well.
