My week in OT has so far been not too bad. Its passable but at the same time I am grateful i am only here for one week. Maybe its because I am here that i really wish my times in the ward where i can really have patient contact and give my nursing care, but here i am sorta forced to be task orientated and see the doctors cutting up human bodys as if they were cutting pork in the market place. Life is always like that. Its also because i went to such a far place like AMKH that i really treasure my shorter journey to SGH. You dun actually know what you have until you suddenly lose it, then you will start to treasure it.
Despite this, I am aware at the fact that i dun want to be here for a career but whether or not that happens i am actually only here for a week, so i am trying to learn the most i can. I have assisted the S/N as a scrub nurse for 2 cases so far. I think tomorrow there will be more oppurtunities. So far i think i enjoy my time in PACU/ Recovery Room the most, its when patients are recovering from anesthesia and we have to give them the relevant nursing care, like monitor their condition, give them painkillers if needed, take out their laryngeal tubes when they are conscious. Anyways i will try my best to learn as much as possible... I wish I can gain more self confidence too, which is wat i lack very much in my life.
