Iron deficiency anemia? haha, i diagnosed myself as so. My Hb was a bit low in order to donate my blood during the blood donation drive which was organised in my school last week. 11.9 g/dL , i thought i was eligible to donate blood, i mean it is quite normal for girl to have this range, but then the prerequisite was that Hb must at least hit 12.5. Sigh, again, i was inhibited to let my blood flow out to save life, there are always some obstructions, ya, there are, like those past 2 years in NYP, problems like time constraint during break time, i was having menses, or i was sick for past 3 days bf the donation. It is my destiny becoz this time i dun have the mentioned 3 problems, but yet my Hb failed me. So, the doctor prescribed me iron tablet, free one as it is not an ex thing, but it is Disappointed lie! haha, since then, i purposely choose a lot of rich iron food to eat, like pork liver~
Well, i was side track already. Actually, i want to talk about Pee & Poo today, in other formal word it is about elimination: urine & stool especially for the concern in my this blogging post. In year 1, i was taught to record and aware the amount, colour, consistency of urine and stool, like large amt of tea coloured urine, bloody urine, black and loose stool, ......a lot, of course each of them indicate something. and not to forget the odour, the smell. haha, urine smell is normally alike, normally stink, but for stool odour, it is important to note the smell and colour of stool, especially from patients with GI disorder. I still remember my Year 1 bio lecturer, Dr Julia's joke, a girl called Melina, sounds nice, for her name, but for stool called Melena, once u smell it u will never forget it in the rest of ur life, hahahaha.
Herm, i saw all kind of stool and urine, but for melena, i never got the chance to get contact with it. I was hoping that, because i can remember how does it smell like for the rest of my life~haha, i must be crazy. Well, to me, it is normal and very professional in talking stuffs about stool. As to become a nurse, u can't escape from shit n urine in ur basic nursing care. this is what i always tell my juniors who want to enter nursing, the first thing that u must learn to be brave enough is to confront the job of wiping back side of helpless patient, if u think that u can't do it, forget about being a Nurse.
Haha, i m not saying that the whole life of a nurse is dealing with shit n urine, but a novice student nurse will start their practice by doing all this basic job. If one were struck by this phobia n low esteem when dealing with all these stuff, he or she is in great danger of quiting nursing.
Yet, i am in the category of the bravest, (haha, paiseh, a bit proud), i do not face the problem in confronting, becoz i was told and prepared by my brother for the nature of the job of a nurse. And still i was persisting in choosing to enter NURSING. i knew the hard time of student nurse in facing this kind of problem because people around me, some of them are falling into this "wiping b.s." dilemma.
Undeniable that it is quite disastrous to handle Elimination Problem, the worse one tht i have ever come across so far was a diarrhea case. OMgoodness, pt was wrenching at abdo area in first hand, then started to complain of abdomen ache and wanted to poo poo. Subsequently, when i was asap in action to take commode to him, he couldn't wait anymore and was heading to the common patient toilet with the accompany of a senior. AND and and as he was walking to the toilet that was just next door of the cubicle, he was poo-ing with an uncontrolled bowel open. Along the way, there were drops of "gold". So, cleaning, moping, changing, showering......had to be done stat. The frightening part was, it happened 2 to 3 times, until we decided to put the limited commode on the bedside, just in case he need it.
So, do u still think tht working as a nurse is a blessing ? There was once, happened this year during sociology tutorial, the socio tutor hold a debate in the class, the title was: is working a curse or a bless? Proposition team was taking the curse, opposition team took the bless, i was in opposition team. One from the proposition team come out with the statement of: " We get scolded unnecessarily by the pt, dr, wiping back side, dealing all the shit and dirty thing and etc......everyday when we wake up, do u feel happy to go to work, does ur job make u feel privileged? If u r dragged to work, Do u still think working as a nurse is a blessing？I am sure most of u dislike all these thing, will u still willing to do all these low esteem stuff if u r not paid?" in short, working as a nurse is a curse to her.
I opposed her by saying tht, i am happy, i am blessed, i dun think wiping backside is a curse, instead i feel proud of my blessing hands. at least i m there for my helpless patient, who wants other people to do cleaning job for them, expose their privacy to a stranger? their children even couldn't brave to touch their own parents, but the nurses are there to assist! I dun drag myself to work, i am happy to go hospital, well, it is true tht we get scolded sometimes unnecessarily frm pt, but they r in pain, they dun mean to scold u personally, they r scolding at ur uniform!
If nobody were there to work as nurses as people take it as a curse, so dun ever fall sick and admit to hospital, because hospital will not have nurses to monitor u, to assist u, to change ur dressing & drip, to sponge u, to serve u drug, to order ur meal, to book ur appointment, to call Dr in case when u r dangerously ill, etc...... HAha, in the end, the teacher said not to narrow the debate to specific job, a bit out of track. Anyway, my friend she didn't mean to say tht, because it was a debate n she was in the "curse" team, just took nursing to elaborate the point.
i know i always like to procrastinate, there is one saying in cantonese, "will not drag a hole until u r urgently wanting to poo" (hihi, quite weird after translating to english) i like to describe myself with this saying. There was One day, i explained the meaning of this to my lao er (my china best friend) when we were taking our lunch, she halted me from saying shit thingy when we were eating, she said this would affect her appetite. haha, ya, most of us dislike to talk about this when we r eating.
And yet, guess wht? i am eating my lunch at the same time when i am blogging this post. Hihi, get used to it already~
