I'm kind of dreading work tmr and the rest of the week as I feel so unproductive.
I am learning things by observation, definitely, but my skills are not up to par yet for practice.
So I just stand around.

Standing around which means slacking means trying not to fall asleep when the nurses are doing documentation and it is entirely inappropriate for me to look over their shoulders,
and when I have to shift myself here and there so that the brisk walking nurses will not collide into me due to the large volume.

Even though work is quite slack in the polyclinic, I look forward to learning new things there.
Did you know that polyclinics provide services other than giving students MCs when they are too sick to attend school or go to PE lessons?
There are health counselling, antenatal and postnatal counselling, chronic diseases management and such services.!
So exciting right..

I hope to be able to teach a patient how to use the inhaler for asthma tmr.
"Shake the inhaler well first, then press it and suck at the same time."

Today I witnessed an old lady try to use it and she couldn't coordinate the pressing and the sucking after 3-4 tries.
I think she was tired or what la..
The nurse coaching her assertively asked the old lady to stand at the corner, face the wall and wake up her idea.
That will make her more focussed.
The above paragraph is fiction.

Nurses are kind hearted people who won't do mean things like that..
But kind hearted does not necessarily mean gentle though, yesterday I saw how the nurse clean the wound in a rough manner which I think was uncalled for.
Maybe she was rushing for time or that is the way she always did it, but the patient was obviously in pain, wincing like that.

I will remind myself that I will be a gentle nurse.

I know how impossible that seems, judging from how much of a violent maniac I sound like in this blog.
I am not okay.. I just kick babies occasionally.
The best part is, I am going to work in KK after I graduate!
Whahahahahahahaha. *Maniac pervert laughter*

Ok enough.
