"You can call it ’suay’ or you can call it ‘lucky’. To me, neither was it lucky or suay. "
Okay. Just this monday I had my 3rd patient collasped. Kuku. Bloody ass. Shitty. Sickening. Whatever you called it. -_-
Initially, I was dammed happy la. Cause, I didn’t take any case. My preceptor was the NIC. I was left to follow the other staff nurse but my team was like divided into half. And both was trainee staff nurse. So I didn’t take any case. I was doing AN job for the day again! (but the trainnee staff nurse secretly let me take case la.)The day before I was also doing AN job! Haa. I was dammed happy la. Relieved of stress. No people nag. No need pass report. Haha. But, how would I know…
That afternoon, don’t know who eat pau or didn’t bath with flower petals water to get rid of all the suay-ness. Well, probably is me la. But, I can confirmed plus a chop gurantee that I didn’t eat pau hor. And I don’t really fancy pau.
Okay. The story goes like these on monday. After report taking from my team, I wanna get things done as soon as possible. Thus, I went to prepare the turning trolley. Then I turn from last cubicle first with HCA. Then slowly one by one. My side wasn’t heavy at all. Those patient are those that would be able to press the call-bell if they want me to change. After doing turning for my team patients, my HCA and me saw the other team still taking report so we wanna went there to help them. So we push the trolley there….
Then my HCA entered the cubicle first. Follow by me. I took my time to don my gloves and apron as it was a MRSA cubicle. However, at the doorway, I already sensed something amissed. I saw the malay uncle bubbling from the mouth. I ignored the fact that I gotta wear apron. Thus, I just put on my gloves while I walk straightaway to the patient bedside. My HCA was looking at the uncle and said "aiyoz, why like that?". She is referrring to the bubbling and secretion coming out of the patient mouth. Then I was like also "aiyo!" The more I see, the more I sensed something wrong. Then I start to observe the uncle chest and breathing movement. Then sia la. No Movement. Then I started shaking & calling the uncle name. Kao! No responsed! Then I really dammed sian liao. The next thing I test for pulse. No pulse! Then just nice the dinamap beside the patient. Then I faster put on the BP cuff and I told my HCA we better faster informed the team that were like taking report outside the cubicle. By then in my heart, I already got this feeling I gotta do CPR liao. So I faster suay the kardax table away, to wind down the patient head. I was so bloody panicked that kardax table almost kanna my pregnant HCA. =X
Then, the gwen-look-alike staff nurse came in. Asked me: "active?" Then I said: "I don’t know and I never take the case!" Cause I thought she referring to DIL active or not. And when I thought over about it. I got her meaning. I think she is referring to is this a active resuscitation. If patient collasped not on DIL ward managment or DNR, we actually go all the way and resused them. Then she said "active case la". She faster put down cord side and do chest compression. Then I abit stunted also. I faster assisted her.
I remembered I pulled the alpha-x cell mattress’s CPR thingy. Unlocked the bed. And pushed the bed slightly out. Draw curtain. Pulled out headboard. By the time, the E trolley came liao. I faster on the lights. Break open the e-trolley. Plucked out the bloody board. The attached the leads. I just remember is traffic light sequence (red, yellow, green) Then I passed the whole ambu bag to my ward bro. He start bagging.
By the time, the gwen-look-alike staff nurse got almost tired. Then I told her I take over her. Then I climbed up the bed to do CPR again. Inside my heart was like, kao why got so suay one. Basket. Idiot. Third time liao leh. Kn*.Sincerely, I thought won’t happened liao after my 2nd night experienced. Then nvm, I remembered shortly after that the NYP china male guy also come in help. I think he abit stunt also. He stand there dunnnoe not knowing in what ways he can help. Then I told him I bagged the patient, he helped me do CPR. Then we go one round. While bagging alot of resistant sia. Then, my SNs all don’t know is it forget that the sunctioning apparatus all inside the e-trolley then don’t know go where take. Take untill dammed bloody long. Then got one part they asked me scissor. Then I was like trying help them find. But, actually e-trolley got scissors. Haha. Is like that dammed funny. Then got one part got another staff nurse told me: "I do the chest compression 5 cycles then you bag k?" I was like thinking I thought must keep bagging. So i ignored her and bag. Then she say: "I told you to bag then you bag right, why you bag?" Then the gwen-look-alike staff nurse said, never mind you just go on bagging. Haha. The MO olso say why you stop, just continue to bag. My MO olso dammed cute. He see me dammed tired wanna take over me. He said "you cannot lah, never mind I do". But, the thing is that he do awhile also tired liao. Then he asked: "why only got 2 students(me and the nyp guy)?" He said he tired also. Diao. Anyway, Heng, I wear pants suit that day. Wahahahhaa.
After pushing 5-6 ampoules of adrenaline he went asystole, and even on dopamine drip. I also remembered got one part they ask me put on the drip cannot find the patient IV plug sia. No pulse. Thus, they decided shocked the patient. The weird thing is that I thought doctor should shock not nursing staff. End up my brother shock the patient. Cause he is nearest to the defillbrillator. End up after the ninth adrealine went in through the femoral cath. We gave up. Uncle has no pulse no ECG rythm.
After everything end. My hand dammed aching sia. Then stupidest thing is like I ownself repack the e-trolley sia. Cause, I think that they think I’m the only one considered most free to pack e-trolley cause other student taking cases and all the staff nurse dammed busy to catch up with their work after code blue. My preceptor being NIC also no time no pack. She asked me to pack then she later check through. Dammed stupid sia. I like ownself standing there do defilbrillator test and function test for ambu bag. Everybody keep looking at me lor. Diao lor.
The gwen-look-alike staff nurse keep laughing at me for at my 3rd experience and having to do function test and everything by ownself. Lol. Is like they also say I suay sia. Ask me if I got shared my experience from my friends. She say she student time also not so exciting like mine. She say at least I participate actively in it. Not everybody have the chance. Then I was like..-_-..Don’t know what to say. Purely no comments lor.
Although is nice experiencing la. But still unbelievable. Somemore is 3rd time liao. Also, I’m that kind so timid one and nervous during skills test. Oh my god…Arghz! And PLUS tommorrow is my second round of night. I dammed scared now lor. Good luck to me man. =(
