think most people right now are feeling like, TGIF? Dont really feel tgif though, i really do enjoy working with patients. And the hospital enviroment. Or maybe it's just this ward? Idk. But anyhow, today's CI's last day w us! Finally we get a nice CI, and he's only with us for 2weeks. Gr. I cant get over that fact! Gave chocs and card w alvina, shamu and glynis. What nice students we are! Heh.

Anyway, much as i really enjoy nursing, and working in the hospital. Today it's suddenly dawned upon me about what a thankless job nursing is. So ystd i got peed at by a patient while i was bathing her. Today i got spit in the face because i tried to make an old auntie take her med. Last wk i got scratched and pinched by some auntie frm shamu's cubicle that i was tryna feed. And not to mention all the verbal abuse we nurses have to take from some patients. Sigh.

'oatmeal to cold, oatmeal to hot,
oatmeal to sweet, oatmeal not sweet enough'

and some people say im spoiling my pt by agreeing to their reqquests, althouugh kinda feel like, a 'uniformed maid', but i still do it, cause they're sick and they wna do their stuff the way they like it, but they cant, so we have to help them. K, i KNOW all these. Though sometimes it gets kinda frustrating, when AFTER we accedde to their every request, they dont even say thankyou. But treat it as though we HAVE to help them.

Think you cant really blame nurses for playing favourites. I mean, if there's a patient who thanks you, remembers your name, smiles back when you smile at them, comparing it to another pt who screams at you and curses you in some sorta dilect, can you blame us for being nicer to the former set of people?

Rmb i mentioned skinnyauntie went home? And now there's a nw pt in replace of her. Not to be proud, but i'd think of myself as a rather patient nurse, when it comes to treating patients. But i really buaytahan her. One simple thing such as giving a bedpan, made me feel like i just came out of battle. I shall not rant and explain, but she was extremely unreasonable, no matter how much i tried to explain her 'difficultness' to myself, just super fedup. Gr. Its over, just hope that she goes home over th wkend! Though highly unlikely. Sigh.

But i still like nursing though, must find a way to overcome the problem w her! Make me miserable, make her miserable. No point right? Sigh.

So in that tired mode, and kinda fedup mode, went for stjohn training. A tired man is an angry man. Didnt blow my top, though a little frustrated when things arent improving. Gr. Patience elaine, patience. Learnt from TAM right, look at the matter from a different angle, and tryna improve matters! Another chance tmr, shall sleep and think abt it.


Need to eat dinner now!

By right i should be feeling tgif after the day today, by still kinda wna go back to work.
