A Dedicated Nurse

I am lucky enough to meet an extremely dedicated Nurse.

A nurse, who is a male, rare species in Nursing.

He is a knowledgeable nurse, caring and always advocating for patient's right .

touches my heart for being a nurse who really serves the patients, who respect nursing job.

Most of the times, nursing is being looked down because there is a lot of nurses make it a loser. True enough, a statement by my new friend. I am proud of this RN who i know, because of his dedication, he preserves the dignity of nursing line.

Nursing is an Art and a Science. He reminded us to back to our fundamental and history of nursing. Well, all of these i have forgotten.

And yet, because of him, i feel myself is a lousy nurse-to-be. I should be ashamed and learn more from him. Not because that i feel i couldn't be as competent as him, it is mainly my lacking of responsibility to fulfill my job as a nurse,

A nurse to care human beings from the true heart, be it Art or Science.

It is our duty.

SICU--desaturation

ICU is a highly stressful area, where all the most critically ill patients are there for intensive treatment and care.

To talk Something about oxygen saturation--SpO2.

I remember one day when i finished pricking my poor patient's finger for his hourly blood glucose monitoring, the physiology monitor alarmed, to my horror, i saw it popped out 'low SpO2' of the patient, what?!!!! then to my another horror, i saw 70+ SpO2, immediately, i knocked the glass to notify my RN. Then she came in and said, maybe it was due to the pain and distress that i caused to pt during the pricking.

Well, after that, the monitor immediately stopped alarming and again i wondered how did the 70+ Spo2 picked up so fast to normal range? Looked carefully first..

Phewwhh......the foolish me saw wrongly, the 70+ was the Heart Rate!!!

At times, i find myself quite lost, be it in the knowledge of critical care or the real hands-on of care to my patients.

Ya, i have to work hard and always slap myself for reminder to be more alert during working. Hands that heal can also kill. Choiiiii!

I am a soon-to-be I SEE YOU (ICU) nurse

Do not get ED, instead i got Surgical ICU, and yet i am happy about it, because it is about critical care as well.

Yes, Sincerely hope that i will pass this 3 months, and proudly called myself a ICU nurse. I will do all the best i can!
