Happy 43rd!

wishing singapore a happy happy 43rd birthday!!

today i worked the morning shift and was junior under Shiau Lee.
Working under her is always great cuz she helps out and refuses to force me to do stuff even though she has the right to ask me to.
Junior is the one who helps out the Staff Nurse In-Charge for the room.
Being the jr for the day is less stressful as u do not have to really do much changes and contact the doctors and stuff.

today one of my patients got really ill.

Her oxygen saturation in her blood (SPO2) was just 88% on 2L of O2, which is really really bad. By right a normal person shld have around 96-100% of oxygen in the blood (mine is usually 98%- never been higher). Then she was put on 100% oxygen on Face Mask.
But tt was not it.
She was scheduled to go for hemodialysis to clean her blood but hadto have a temporary vascular catheter inserted in her jugular vein.
And i assisted the doctor for tt procedure! Hehe it wasnt that difficult considering the Renal Registrar was a nice man.
Hehe so i learnt something new today (:

Anyone else need a nurse to assist the renal dr in inserting a perm catheter can just ask me!


..
The rest of ND was spent with my beloved Sayang and Botak Oppa.
No mood to be around large crowds bustling for the bus or taxi.
So i'm sleeping over at her house at Woodlands (:
haha and her big brother is cute nehhh~

So basically we just went out to chill. Eat dinner, had dessert and a talk over coffee.
Botak has to book in tmrw at 6.30AM somemore. Really hope he gets enough rest and gets over tt terrible cough. He says over there everyone coughs badly like that cuz of the Tekong water.
Like OMG.
He's coughing like its the end of the world la sehh; even worse than my patients!
Hope you get well soon (: Cant even talk in complete sentences le~
