clinical placement
I've just started my first clinical placement on 16th May. I am the first batch of Flinders' first year student doing placement at Royal Adelaide Hospital. I chose to do the morning shift on the first day, so it made me the first first year student of Flinders at ward Q6, RAH in 2006. What an honour. haha! @_@

On the first day, nothing much for me to do(am still) because we have not learn much in uni. Basically what I did was bed making, observing the staff nurse, taking temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure. I also help an enrolled nurse sponging a woman who could not get down from the bed. Sponging=bathing on the bed, with soap. I NEARLY had to sponge a man who is in his late 30. Phew~~~ He refused it because he was quite depress at that time, luckily. I know it is normal for a nurse but I am still not prepared. Somemore it was my first placement. Anyway, yesterday was my third placement and I showered two old ladies. Have not gotten a chance to sponge or shower a man yet. hahaha! >.<

I still have somemore to blog but I cannot remember what are they.

Done with assignments?

I've just submitted two assignments last Friday. One at 4pm, another one at 6pm. Although it seems like everything is over, no more stressful assignments, but I am not happy. I did not well on my assignments. My conclusion was not concise for the first assignment, I could have done a better one. I did not have enough time to finish my last assignment. I had to left out my last point and jump to conclusion when the stupid library announced that they are closing in half and hour time, and printing is only available for another 15 minutes. DARN! This stupid announcement made me so nervous until I could not think of anything to write as conclusion. I was supposed to write around 1500 words for that essay, so in the end I had only about 1000++ words. I can just see my marks fly away infront of me. Anyway, luckily kak was there to help me out. Wait, supposed to be us. Without her help, me and Sharon will be in "deep shit". Sharon's case was worse than mine. She came to the library at 4pm to continue with her essay. When she connected her thumbdrive to the computer, she realised that she did not save her work in it. So, kakak offered to send her back to get it. The moment she grabbed her bag, she remembered she left her keys at home. Finally, she get to contact with her housemate who is studying in the main campus to get the key. So, kakak drove her to the main campus, then home and then back to the library. In the end, both of us handed in our "not-so-complete" assignment at 5:57pm. After handed in them, I just realised that the bus I was suppose to take will leave at 5:58pm. By the time I reached the station, the bus would have gone and the next bus was at 8pm. Luckily kakak has not left yet. Phew~~~ So she dropped me and Sharon down at the main road since there are more buses there. When we were in the bus, both of us looked so miserable. Still could not believe that we handed in such a lousy work. And so coincident, Sharon's phone had no more credits, my phone had more battery and we were starving. So now, can understand why I am still not happy? Oh ya, and because of these assignments, I broke my record for sleeping not more than 3 hours in 36 hours.

gary chaw

these are so funny...lol! *laughing my head off*




and this is sooooo cool!

Exams are better than assignments, at least that is what I think...

"It's taking me forever to get it done!"
arghh... me too! It is the critical review assignment. I am so slow =( I have to spend the whole night just to finish a few paragraph. I got no idea what I am supposed to write, I do not know how to critique the article. This is so difficult! I prefer having exams rather than doing assignments. I am not the type that prefer course work. I want exam! Yes... I want...

p/s: I'll update other "happenings" after I'm clear with my assignmentSSS which is like 2-3 weeks later... so till then!
