yest.......
Hm.... long2 story to say. Take a deep breath in and lets begin..
Everything was still fine b4 reveiving report.
I am takin centre. After Imelda passed over her side to me, I moved on to the othes side.
Jasmine was there waiting for me.
She passed and I was checking thru the IMR
I didnt notice that my junior was not following me.
Its only when she started to shout at the 2 of us
" U ppl are so clever is it? U can do ur stuff without ur junior? If anything goes wrong, i 'll say that i didnt listen to ur report. U ppl answer for it!"
I was shocked, did she need to shout and say all this at the 2 of us?
I asked Jasmine to repeat over the report passing.
Before we finished passing over, she alre walked off.
I ignored her....
She complained to Beena. Beena came to ask me what happened. I told her and i explained that we did passed back to her. Beena asked me not to care abt her.
She went to give feeding for 49. Aspirated 75mls out of 100mls feeding.
the haematologist qn her, how much she will feed.
in the end she came out to tell me abt the asp. she told me she will feed 25mls
I told her to withold 1st, dun feed.
I checked with Beena, she said can feed.
So i went back to her, asked her to feed. She said" I tot u say dun feed then why now u ask me to feed?" I explained to her that i doublechecked with Beena. She was not happy abt tt.
I told her to do hourly for 50&54. she dint reply me.
4 pm I went to do dressing for 48. she was there checking his BP. the machine showed a low reading. she went out to take smth. I not sure whether she is taking the manual set.
After i completed my dressing, she went in there to check, but after that she dint inform me anything abt the BP.
Only after 7 pm (serving medicine time), she was telling the uncle that his BP is low in a loud tone.
She doesnt want to inform me in person.
I heard that so i went over. she told me BP 88/50. tis pt started on hourly but its nor ordered.
I tink she heard wrongly. when i qn her why dint u inform me earlier, she said" i told u" I asked her back" when? when did u inform me? I dunno abt it."
however she demanded that she informed me. so i walked out and told Beena.
when Beena asked her, she said she was there doin dressing. She presumed herself that i noe but i didnt.
Luckily the HO was nice, otherwise i would have been scolded and if anything happened to this pt, i have to answer.
I asked her whether she taken the VRE swab, she said they cannot do.
What is this????
can collect urine and stool specimen, give dulcolax and fleet, why cant do a rectal swab???????
I got 4 transferred in yest, 1 on PCT transfussion. she cant put up drip, I put up myself.
Lots of things she cant do. but at least help to answer call bell.
She is like escaping to every corner of the ward. she is nowhere to be found when the call bell rang.
in the midst of serving meds, i have to reassure 1 of y pt, call the son to come, give bedpan and took it away, take spoons, wet the lips for 1 of the pt, even checking temp for a pt.
I asked her for a thermoscan, she refused to answer me!!!!!
I am willing to do all this but she should at least offer a helping hand instead of disappearing.
I was so busy yest. I finished serving meds at 8 plus. it took me 1 hr plus to serve meds.
I got no time to write report. I took the MRSA, VRE swab myself.
By the time i finished my work, it was goin to be 11pm.
I was very angry with her. how can she showed attitude to me for the whole shift???

Today, i was almost late for work. I wake up at 6. I looked at the time and jumped up.
overall was fine. except, I got one pt passed away.
that was my 1st and last time nursing her. she was so young.
she left behind her husband and her children
I didnt expect her to pass away so fast.
1hr ago we just checked her BP and it was 130/70 mmhg.
Dr informed the family, they came ,he was still breathing.
they were vy sad and cried.
we screened the curtain to give them some privacy.
half and hour later somebody informed me to check the pt.
she no longer breathing and her lips alre turned white.
the family cried and cried.
it was just half an hour time and she is gone.
its really unbelievable. My heart aches too to see the family.
