And she said, "Ok, you're in. Sa pedia ka na lang. When will you start? "
And I replied with, "Thank you ma'am. Pwede po next week na lang kasi mag oa-oath taking pa po ako." She said, "Sure"
And I worried for nothing. Aheh heh. I was about to leave the premises when I bumped in to my sister's friend.
She said, Kafatid, Nu gawa mo dito?
Me: Mag vovolunteer po. (smiles)
She: San ka na assign?
Me: Sa Pedia ward po.
She: Hala ka, magreview ka na ng computations, dosages lahat. Hah hah hah hah
Me: Aw, Sige po. Thanks Ate. ( Ate na rin tawag ko sa kanya. Respect sa nakatatanda. ^^)
She is currently a trainee in here. In case my item na sa kanya na mapupunta. Dynasty much. Haizt. Pinas talaga. Pero, thanks sa kanya at napagtanto ko na mga bata nga naman ang patiente ko. And durung my college days walan kaming exposure sa pedaitric ward in any of our affiliating hospitals. lub dub lub dub. Sige challenge toh. Kaya yun review, review, review, kain, tulog, internet... hanggang sa kain tulog at net na lang. Ahah hah hah.
Start ng first day, magsisimula na ang buhay unemployed. Konting tiyaga at tiis sa pagbibigay serbisyo na walang hinihintay na anuman kapalit. At pagdating ko, Dang! WALANG ORIENTATION. wtf. Buti na lang di pala ako nag iisa. Tatlo pala kaming naka assign sa pedia. And they already had it goin' on kasi ung iba were DoLE nurses assigned in this ward last year pa. So they we're like the senpai(seniors) for me and tango ng tango naman na parang Big head dog toy ng jeep si ako. Yes ng yes. Second day, I was already getting the hang of it. As I keep saying to myself na challenge toh. Preparing/calculating the medications with a helping hand.
The following days, ay dun ko narealize na may I deserve to be here. Pediatric nursing is an excellent career para sa mga nurse tulad ko na mahilig sa bata. Ako mahilig ako sa mga bata, lalo na kung lolicon.
It has nicer ring to it than *pedophile. ^^ |
Paper dog vs. Balloon Dog. Kanino ka pupusta? |
At hindi ka lang dapat pasensyoso sa mga bata dapat may patience ka rin para mga bantay or parents na nag aasal mga bata. Maybe kung gaano ka stress ang mga bata di hamak na stressful nga naman sa mga magulang, seeing their little ones suffer from any sicknesses, Di po ba? So while keeping my emotions in check. I provide them necessary information, tamang saktong sagot sa kanilang tanong. Ika nga ni Confucious, "Ang Sobra Ay Lason."Answer their questions on their patients condition and treatment options and comfort them by supporting them mentally and emotionally for their patients.
Still another challenge I encounter in this type of nursing is the heartbreaking cases kapag critically ill na ang pasyente. Ay naku. Sobrang saklap. There was this one time ng na admit ang patient and its only 30 mins less nag cardiac arrest na ang bata. Dehydration with parasitism. Ung bulate nasa kumalat na sa buong katawan at nasa daanan na paghinga. Tsk. Darn it. . Ok lang kahit nakakapagod mag resuscitate pero nagpronounce na si Dr. Tsk. And di ko talga minsan maiwasang malungkot at mapaluha. :'( Tama siguro si erpats talagang PuSoNg MaMoN aketch.
But Giving my best to play the role in making this kids better is very satisfying and rewarding sa kabila ng mga pagsubok. Makita kong papauwiin na ang pasyente with a smile on their faces na ung tipong na admit dito butot balat tapos na discharge na patabaing baboy este bata pala. Heh heh. Wow parang achievement na rin. And with that Im happy that I cared, nursed and loved this kids. Because I know I did my part to be God's angel of the sickroom. So Thank You and To God be the Glory. ^^ And thanks for reading my entry as well.
