I must have been mad to drink 2 large glasses of fluids before I went to sleep last night.
I should have known better that my little bladder will wake me up 4 times in the night and cause poor sleep :(
Its 6am now I have to leave for work in ten mins.
I can't wait to go to work! 3 more days to the end of attachment at wood bridge! woohoo~
Sometimes its so difficult to like patients whom nurses can't communicate with.
Screaming, attempting to kick nurses, asking nurses to "say ok", knocking her own head on the rail of the bed etc is not helping us to understand her.
But I think its really important to try to find good points in patients for nurses to like them about.
It helps to hate work less.
Anyway yesterday me and christine was trying and failing to keep a patient's screaming and shouting down by distracting her.
Me and Christine: Can you sing me a song? I like to hear you sing.
Patient: ISTSTTSS.. I finish green beans alreadish.
Me: Listen to me.
Patient: Say ok.
Me: Okay.
Patient: SAY OK.
Me: Okay okay.
Patient: SAY OK LOUDER
Me: OKAY! Are you happy now?
Patient: Yes. (continues incoherent words)
Suddenly the patient started nodding her head rhythmically to the song on the advertisement on TV.
It was just tooooo sweeettttt to see that few moments of sanity.
That 10 seconds was so precious I wish I could save it in a bottle and make it happen on her again and again.
After the advertisement ended she went back to her normal self.
k gotta go. :)
