ok i have not updated my blog for 2 weeks. really busy last week and this week. last week is more of meeting up with ppl and camp. this week i am having my attachment in kkh OT.

kkh OT
is not as cold as i expected and i think it is not as cold as other hospital. we wore the same OT attire as the staff there, just that we wore different colour shower cap.
the operations i saw are eg. Hysterectomy, pelvic floor repair, termination of pregnancy (abortion), ectopic pregnancy and Cesarean section!!! the whole atmosphere will change when the baby is out and when you hear the baby crying:) at first everybody is really tensed, cos anything can happen during the op eg. baby stop breathing/ baby cannot come out....
so cesarean section is the best thing i saw in the OT. we also witnessed the birth of a twin, a baby boy and gal.
for the kids OT, we are allowed to go to the day surgery and not the major operating theaters. we saw cryptorchidism, circumcision, herniorrhapy, removal of port catheter and testosterone implantation.
i also got my posting for the final sem. i am posted to the kids high dependency ward for 3 months. A high dependency unit is an area for patients who require more intensive observation, treatment and nursing care than are usually provided on a general ward. It is a standard of care between the general ward and full intensive care. quite scary as it will be challenging:) after the 3 months posting is over, we will graduate and become a staff nurse. the posting is impt as most ppl will usually go back to that ward after they grad and work there and also if we don pass the posting we got to repeat it. will try out working in the ward for 3 months? if it is not wat i want maybe work in the OT/ A&E? during the 3 months, we will be doing shift work, so we might not be able to get off day on weekend. i might have to work on sat and sun! Argh!
last year, i am still able to go for cm camp, ypm camp and thanksgiving cos can just skip sch for a few hours (those not impt lesson) and we are also free at night. but now cannot le, got attachment and shift work:(
