the first five days

after sacrificing my hair and goatie, i started my duty in a gov't hospital here in our town. this town's so small na ang nagorient sa akin at umikot sa akin sa buong hospital is my classmate's mother, introduced me to my ninang, auntie's, uncle's, kuya's and to anyone. i know them all, if not on their names, on their faces. first day,on ward.

i was with other nurses were the three of them are a family, the motehr nurse, the daughter and her husband. nothing hand's on really, but more on orientation, what to do, how to do, when to do, anything, by auntie rufel, auntie chit, nene chirona, jhero, leo, jane, aunti girlie, dr. lovelle, che and auntie sascion(who always starres at me smiling. i want to mention their names because they helped me a lot on my first day. and i was well welcomed because i've got free lunch.hehe

second day, is just like the first day, kept on orientation and familiarization of the routie they have in the ward. tensions between administrators rose up as they send out their sentiments. as well in the third day patient admissions are rising in number

thursday, i was expecting that the admissions will rise.and it did, before the end of my shift, we exceeded the bed capacity. and worst there is only one nurse and i as a volunteer. worst things came to happen by the hour. only 30mins. past 6, there wa a call for an ambulance to transport a vehicular accident patient. and there are 27 patients for only the two of us. i was left in the ward as the other one prepares for the arrival of the VA victim. then the ambulance came, and auntie rufel the nurse called me to help out in cleaning for debris and blood. the extent of the injury and wound is severly unexplainable, i barely know the patient to who he was. later on as i was cleaning, i recognized him and called him by his monicker. nagulat ak, dahil sumagot siya by speaking my nickname, nagulat din ang lahat dahil hindi siya sumasagot ng matino sa mga tanong. this man is a batchmate, a friend at kapamilya din. alam ko na agad kung bakit naaksidente dahil alam ko ang ugali ng tao na iyon. after cleaning, i proceeded to the ward alone with a nurse aide. too many patients, for a 4day older, pero isa-isa lang at nakaraos. tapos na-admit na ang kaibigan ko, i attent to his needs, and did even the aide's job. sabi ko nga mahirap maging nurse sa isang kakilalang malapit. funny was, is that he kept on asking me if he's still conscious or not. the mere questioning is a sign if consciousness na.hehe. the hospital cannot give everything for assurance of recovery, so he was transfered to other hospital.

this day, medyo busy din, dahil from 27 naging almost 30 na..pero maraming umuywi. kaya okay lang, plus madami na kami sa ward.

anyway, i got nothing more to say about my frst five days. only one thing. i noticed a significant reduction in my stomach protruberance. sobrang lumiit. in just 5 days halata agad. dahil siguro wala nakong luxury sa time kapag kumakain at nabago ang eating habbit ko.
