The Last Mon Standing

(Click Images to Enlarge) Since I only entered the bukol ward, or the lump ward, and was not able to go inside the Operating Room where the Major ORs are done, i was stationed last Saturday at the Delivery Room together with my groupmates who have the least cases of Handle or Assist in the DR.

I was really surprised and happy at the same time when the Nurse who was stationed there told me that i’ll be inserting an Intravenous Fluid Infusion (Dextrose or Swero). Even the Registered Nurses are not allowed to insert IVFs unless they have undergone a special training. And so are we, Student Nurses. That’s why I was really eager yet nervous when the Nurse told me that I’ll be inserting the bottle.Luckily I was able to insert it at the first trial. This was not my first time though, we had inserted all sorts of injection at each other in our Health Care class when we were in second year, but this was my first time to try it with a real patient, actually the first time in our group. I am really glad that I successfully inserted it in the right vein. Some registered nurses fail to do it in their first trial even if theyre doing it for years so I guess I was really lucky.

The baby was delivered, it was a baby girl.

This is by the way the photo of the cyst, which was roughly the size of a head, that my groupmates were able to extract from a man inside the OR lastThursday.
