it's saturday.
finally a REST DAY.
my feet are aching like mad.
some blisters even appeared when i tried to scratch my feet. :(

but there's something i should be happy about..
i've noticed that my blood pressure taking skills are getting better!! :D
apparently there's a patient whose pulse is difficult to take so both the pulse and blood pressure taking will be affected.
she asked why am i so slow in taking because i keep pressing her wrist for her radial pulse but i can't find her pulse.
then she indirectly said that i'm just a student nurse of course i will be slow in everythng.
actually it's quite demoralising.....
but anyway, i managed to keep her happy with my presence and she will even talk to me...
so it's improving. :)
but unfortunately, she is a MRSA patient so i can't touch her with my bare hands.
quite sad huh?
obviously she knows about it and she never said anything but i feel sad for her.
poor thing.
*sighs*
anyway back to the topic, now i can feel for her pulse so i'm happy, seriously.
by the way, our parameter taking timing used to be 1hr 30mins but now i used only 10mins and i'm done!
we even need the ENs to remind us the time to record the parameters but we don't need them now.
both jia xuan and i are getting the hang of it..
we even felt like carrying on though we are tired.
but all our lethargy will be erased once we hear the staff nurses saying thank you to you..
won't you?
a good motivaton as well.
let's hope this will carry on....

yup. anyway i should sleep early tonight because i really can't stand it.
wish me sweet dreams, yeah?
bye. :)
