Regretful...

We had this patient in the CCU. His diagnosis was complicated though he was a fun and dear patient. Two nights ago, during our shift, we were having a hard time inserting an IV site for his blood line. He was edematous which made it hard for us to make a line. Despite of that, he was really cooperative and allowed us to make attempts. He was very talkative and had a sense of humor as well. The nurse on duty successfully inserted an IV site and hooked it up with a PNSS.

Surprisingly, the next morning, he was intubated due to congestion and during our PM shift, he died due to massive bleeding, he was having a melena. It was sudden and we all felt sad about it.

Prom Night

Reminsicing my high school years is fun, especially the part where I attended my prom night. The pressure of preparing myself to attend my prom is just so tensed. My friends and I were planning ahead for our prom dresses and our homecoming dresses. We were also planning for our hairdressers and make up artist and where to have this done. It was fun and thrilling though, but worth it. We attended our prom night and homecoming night with confidence and treasured every moment of it.

A few more months, it will ne another prom night for teeners. And I know, starting this time, they're now all excited on what to wear and how they will look like for that precious event. 2009 prom dresses are now available olnline where you can check out.

A week of absence

It's been a week that I haven't updated my blog. Geez, that makes me feel guilty. I've taken my blogs for granted. *Sigh. Just didn't have the chance to go to internet cafes since I moved out from my Aunt's house for this week and lived in a dormitory. Wee!

Living in a dormitory is fine. Fine in the sense that it's more accessible to the hospital where I am having my clinical training and I don't have to wake up very early to prepare myself for my duty. It's fun living with my room mate, too. She's approachable and nice and the moment we met, we already jived. Haha. She's been living there for almost a month alone in the room and I think I am her first room mate. Weee!

On another note, the downside of living in that dormitory is that there's no means of entertainment. Their television's broken and a lot of students are occupants of that dormitory. That left us locking ourselves inside our room. *Sigh.

For the whole week I was staying there, I always skipped my breakfast meal. Since I have to go out of the dorm and eat in a "carinderia" which makes me lazy thinking about it plus it's hot outside. I know it's unhealthy, but my room mate and I just don't have the appetite for breakfast. Which made me lost some weight, which I think is a good thing. Nyahaha!

Notebooks

Being away from home, leaves you more prone to loneliness. And in the insitution where I am currently affiliated in, most of the nurses there carry with them their notebook computer considering that the location is a wifi hotspot. It's one thing they need to communicate and bond with their family and friends at home. It is also being used to make researchers for some specific case studies. It really is very handy.

Manhattan

Ever wished of working abroad? I've been eyeing to work in New York since I have friends living there and it's great to be there knowing that they're there. Anyways, New York is a big city and I often heard about Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Manhattan and to tell you honestly I don't know where these place are specifically located. Nevertheless, looking for jobs in Manhattan is one of my goals. Why Manhattan? I don't know, either. Hehe.

Pampering my feet

After all the tedious walking, I finally pampered my feet yesterday the Magenta way. Besides, our feet should be pampered enough since they carry all the burden and works a lot. I had a paraffin wax inclusive of a foot scrub and pedicure at Magenta Salun located at Victoria Plaza. It took more than an hour for this procedure but it was fine, it was relaxing though. I really don't know how paraffin should work and what should be expected from it, though after the procedure, my feet was smoother. And oh the paraffin wax felt good. Hehe. Anyways, here are the stolen shots I took. Haha.

Prank Callers Gets a Buzz

Last night, our helper received several prank calls. It was annoying considering that it is somewhat disturbing. And since we didn't have any caller id with our landline, there was no way we can track the prank caller. I was hoping there is another way we can trace it.

Indeed there is, with CallerBase.com, anywhere in the United States and Canada areas can get to lookup the owner's name and address of those unknown annoying callers with their reverse lookup database. It is also helpful to look for the owner's name of any missed call of an unknown number from your bill. No one will be notified if you happen to look up for their numbers since this service is 100% private. I hope these callers will be hesitant and refrain from dialling phone numbers for fun.
