A Grand Case Presentation

As I have written in my multiply account about our first ever Grand Case Presentation:

"February 4, 2009. An Orthopedic Case from Philippine General Hospital. Diagnosis: Multiple Lower Extremity Fracture secondary to Motor Vehicular Accident

Sorry. I didn't take much pictures because I am having a serious, colosal rush of Adrenaline. It is only after we were fried that I was able to touch my camera again.

It has been a long time since I faced a crowd and when I did, dammit, I almost fainted. Our efforts were all worth it. 87 is a reasonable high grade. My sister said that Ms olivar rarely gives a grade above 85, we must have done something that made her super happy. yahoo.

i dug a grave the night before, i thought i was going to die from hemorrhage where blood is oozing continuously from all the orifice of my body. it was not that bad after all!!!!!

congratz 3A!!!"

Duty Bag

Reblogging is love. Imagine answering your thoughts that you have before.

Before having our laptop reformatted, i scanned my files so that i can salvage some important things that i can use in the future. I found an unpublished blog entry that i wrote a year ago. I was in second year, first sem. It was about the duty bag. During that time, nursing paraphernalia were being distributed to us, that is when i received my duty bag. Also, during that time, i was not able to pass any quiz and I'm failing my exams. I wrote:

Wahhh! Nakuha na namin ung duty bag namin!  Nafeel ko tuloy na nursing student ako. Huhuhu.

Natuwa nga ako nung nakuha ko un kase nafeefeel ko na talaga ang narsing….. pucha! Dis is it! Hahaha!

Sa sobrang tuwa, panandalian kong nakalimutan na wala pa pala akong quiz na naipapasa sa RLE. Naisip ko na ang mga magiging escapades ko sa mga ospital na pagdudutyhan ko: PTB patients, DOTS, code blue, hot doctors, hot doctors, hot doctors, mga inang nanganganak, psych patients, babies, vagina squad, IV, medications, charting, amoy pekpek na OB ward, graveyard shifts, am duty, pm duty, toxic na pasyente/kamag-anak/doctor/nurse/kapwa student nurse/CI, ATBP….

Ok na sana ang pagdedaydream ko kaso bigla kong naalala ang malagim na katotohanan… 50/50 ang status ko sa RLE… wala pa kong pinapasang quiz dun. Khit na quiz lang un, malaking bagay na un pra samin. Sheyt! Indi ko sure kung ano ang grade ko sa recitation pro sana ayos naman.

Ewan ko kung ano ang kahihinatnan ng buhay ko bilang student nurse. Minsan, naiisip ko:

Magamit ko pa kaya ang duty bag ko???

Response now:

• I have graduated, passed the board exams and took my oath. Now all i have to do now is register myself and get that plastic card that we call license
• During my nursing years, I was able to use 2 duty bags. The first one was the one pictured above. I buried it because it died on me. The 2nd one was my sister's, it didn't die. It is now in the corner of our room garnering roaches and dust bunnies.
• I was able to hold on long enough to graduate and take my oath. You're right (people who supported me/us).
• Is now a proud member of the Hey-guys-we-are RN's-holy-shit!-Now-what?!-club
• I have a blog now that screams: I am done and in your face! Just something to make my response longer. hahaha
