after i graduate from CCNC, i'm going to complete my 2 years bond, then work for another 1.5 years (maybe.. depends how much i've saved) and i'll go aust (sydney or perth) for my degree there i'll try to get the RN license, practice nursing there for 3-4years before i come back.
all the while, i keep thinking that i should faster get a degree, then masters try to get promoted fast higher pay etc.
but come to think about it. what was the initial plan of joining nursing? its e patient care. missions. therefore, i'm taking a step back. dont rush for my degree. enjoy the art of nursing patients, enjoy becoming a full time student, enjoy life that is.
because afterall, nursing is a job that can last very long.
this isn't a easy choice. it involves certain amount of sacrifices. but i'm going to submit this to the Lord and i believe He'll lead me.

last day in ccu.
CCU @ NHC was really great. its eye-opening!
got to nurse the first heart transplant patient. got to nurse a ex-minister (quite high rank one) got to nurse a rich chinese indo got to nurse of cuz the commoners as well.
nursing e rich and nursing e poor. sure bound to have double standards. its reality.
but in e ICU its different. we treat everyone equally the treatment plans are e same more authority of patients because they really need to listen to us even the family members will listen to us. because they are very sick.
im getting in love with Cardio actually.

occupation hazard
got a deep cut on my left middle finger joint while breaking adrenaline ampoules upon resuscitation its my 2nd time getting deep cuts from breaking ampoules.
life in ICU is indeed challenging. i get to nurse the sickest patient. get in contact with deadly diseases such as TB, HIV, H1N1. patient can collapse any time. we need to be on our feet.
ICU nursing indeed increases risk of occupation hazards. but e job satisfaction really surpasses all these. and i really love ICU <3
nway. resuscitation failed. she left e world...

love, even in sickness and in health.
She's only 32y.o, had underlying heart problems. on valentine's day,collapsed on her office table. unresponsive, cynosed. downtime in the A&E was 40mins, shocked 6times admitted to CCU. on full inotropes support her husband is always by her side.. and last night she collapsed again. shocked 9 times. then she left her family and 7 mth son
She's 79y.o long stayer in the CCU, super cute ah ma got a trachy and is ventilated Her ah lao(husband) never fail to visit her everyday. He'll massage her leg, apply QV cream over her body One day he fell @ SGH due to hypertension and got himself warded and ah ma was so worried about him. then Ah gong sneaked out of the ward to visit ah ma. does the same thing, massage her leg, apply cream, chit chat with her. it's really a very sweet loving scene. However, her chest XRay shows very bad lungs, no improvements. and Dr said if she's going to get another pneumonia or infection. that's it.
He's 50+, end stage heart failure. quite demanding but his wife took care of him really well. His wife used bare hands to clean his genitals, he always instruct his wife to do this do that, and his wife have got no complains. this valentine, his wife even wrote him a msg on classified. today, he had his first seizure,CT showed a bleed in e brain. Drs have to cross their fingers and he have to fight this battle himself.
this valentines week, i see true love in sickness, its never ending, its patient, its always protects, always trust, always hope, always persevere.
love really never fails. <3

everyone in my attachment group hates her just because she asked "stupid" question, she is very enthu, she gives weird comments and do things slowly.
everyone doesn't give a her a damn they gossip behind her back, talk bad abt her, tell our lecturer how bad or stupid she is.
