Today was quite a memorable day for a last day. Reason being our ward is involved in the infection case exercise. I think its called "SparrowHawk Exercise" . We have to make it seem as if some infectious disease eg. Avian Flu or SARS has attacked the ward and we are under code orange. So today we had to change into shirt and pants the hospital supplied us... Wear a N95 mask wherever we went in the ward... When entering the cubicle had to wear a cap and a full yellow gown (the big bulky type they wear during SARS) and change gloves between each new patient. So its quite frustrating to check on the patients and go in w/o my charts and before going out change out of my gown... However whatever I felt I will take it positively cause it was a learning experience for me. There were auditors around making sure we adhered to the practice and went around asking random staff questions. on infection control procedures. Overall its a experience that will not be forgotten.
