Duties and Blogs

Greetings!

Its been a while so let me just say hi. Hiiii :))
So as i promised, i will talk about our Operating Room duty a few weeks back.

Prepurr to be healed

So, we as a group had our duty at our GTLMH (Gregorio T. Lluch Memorial Hospital) or known as City Hospital. What was interesting about this duty is that its my group's first OR duty except for me! The reason is that i am the new guy to our group this semester. And to my surprise, every time my group was scheduled for an OR duty, it was cancelled or turned into any other duty assignment. I had plenty of OR duties with my previous group, i am not that skilled on the operating room but i am quite familiar with the setting. It was a rule that students without a case in the special areas (Operating and Delivery Room) were the first ones to have a case if ever there was one scheduled. So i assumed that i was to be the last one on the list but Sir Art Escabarte (Our assigned C.I.) gave me the first case! I was changing to my special area uniform slowly and reluctantly until Sir Art said i was to have my case now! I quickly changed to my proper clothing and scrubbed in. The operation was to remove an ovary and Fallopian tube of a female patient. Luckily, the staff scrub nurse was so kind and reminded me of the instruments to be used. The operation was a success and i was able to go through the entire operation better than i expected. My groupmates said it was their first time but judging the way they handled their cases, you could say that they were more than ready. I had a case and that made the OR duty that worthwhile. At the moment, I have 4 cases and I need six, 3 circulating nurse and 3 scrub nurse. Operating room nurses are so amazing because the way they keep their cool in any situation is really impressive but if ever I will work for a hospital, I want to be an emergency nurse just because of the action and adrenaline. So that was all for my OR duty, and by the way. Our LMR (one of our subjects) teacher had us write 3 blogs, one blog about leadership, the other one about management and the last one about nursing ethics. Patriz, my girlfriend also did 3 posts so please comment on her entries. Here is her link: patrizwritesithere.blogspot.com. Thank you so much! :D

So until next time, this is nekolei signing out :) Im off!

Off to Neverland!
