BLOG #5

A new week, Monday the day that I've been waiting for since so long finally has arrived,
waking up at 7:00 am wasn't a bad idea so is drinking coffee and headed to the hospital to chase my dreams, it felt great. But eating nothing at all wasn't that best. Getting into the med Surg was my favorite till I fainted, I got into a patient's room with a nurse she gave out medicine and started to explain the surgery that the patient is doing at 4:00 pm that day. I was watching standing by the sink in the room, crossing my feet and watching, till I felt dizzy I started to move a little bit telling myself “what the heck is happening”I got scared for a bit, after 10 seconds or so everything turned black and I couldn't see anything, I sat on the floor and the nurse started to yell and calling on her devise for help. I could see what is going on but at the same time not really. the charge nurse came she asked me for my name and I told her, then they said to bring the wheelchair to take to me to the emergency room, I wanted to tell them I’m okay but I couldn't speak. I got into the emergency room, they plugged the machines, called my teacher, and she called my parents to see what they want to do and said “well come and take her home to rest a bit”, they have arrived and I went home. One of my classmates said that I looked half dead (lol), but it was a lesson learned.

The next day we went to materials management, personally, it was a bit boring, we went to give out supplies to different areas in the hospital, but I learned how it works. My favorite part during our orientations was pre-op, I really liked it for so many reasons, I got to work with a male nurse and I find it more fun to work with male nurses because they have so many crazy stories to tell. I got to work with him was really enjoyable, he showed me how to take temperatures which was the first job someone gave me a job to do during our orientations, and I really enjoyed working by myself, I got to see so many new things and experience more. I got to take temperatures of two little girls, one of them was 9 years old, got her tonsils out and she had to nausea, 4 nurses were watching her for any changes or anything happens, after she woke up I went to take her temperature by myself, her temperature was normal, and the nurse explained what she should not eat and what she should eat the most. And the second little girl was a year old who had problems with her ears, and she had a surgery about it, she woke up after an hour of the surgery and she was okay, I got to take her temperature, but it was a bit hard because she wont stop moving and she was crying and I was by myself in the room, ni nurse or anything me and the kid and her family, I tried the first time but it didn't work, but I tried the second time and it was fine, her temperature also was normal.
My second favorite thing was ICU. I got to see a really sad case which was, a guy named Mr. M, he's 29-year-old, he was born with heart problems and didn't make smart choices in his life, he was smoking, drinking, and drugs. The day that I went, the family came for the first time after releasing he is brain dead and he gets to donate organs if the family would like to, but the only organ he was able to donate was his liver because the other organs have some problems.

And the sad thing was he will be turning 30 on Tuesday the 19th of February the day after my birthday. But he won't see the 30. I wished if they could help him, but his case they couldn't do anything.
