1st day in icu was tiring, boring but exciting as well
Tiring… as in trying to keep my eyelid open when my NC explain as needed for my orientation check list
Boring as in I can’t hands on yet because I am as fresh as a fish swimming happily in the pond, all I could do is just observing, observing and observing
Exciting cause I saw an open heart closure today in icu cubicle itself..
The very same and very sick baby needed 2-3 SSN to handle once she is out from OT.
I saw how havoc it is when all her tubings was disconnected and the SSN have to figure which is which..
Sometimes, I am already confused with 2 accesses and 6 tubings that Ryan or Miss Tan had but the child have like 4 accesses and more than 10 over tubings connecting to pumps and running some drugs and 4 chest tubes, all actively draining hemoserous fluid.
Every drop of blood and difference in temperature do make a different for the child. I saw and observe with my mouth big open and my ever alert eyes. THAT was interesting!
I was wondering when will I have a chance to nurse this category of patient, but I know I have to wait for at least 2-3 years in order to lay my hands on her which I do not know whether at the end of the day, I will have that much time or not.
Am I hesitating??
Well, I really do not know…Labels: challenges, emotions, life, thought, work
