My 3 nights..
Hooray! I finished my 3 nights! Pretty uneventful, except for the 1st night where a pt from the other team collapsed..It was an active resus..There were very few staff on duty, to be exact, only 4, plus me, 5. So, all of us rushed over to help..Then it got kind of overcrowded..with a HO, MO and consultant there..haha..Chaotic, but nevertheless, a very good experience..i helped with bagging, suctioning, watched intubation, and helped push pt down to ICU..

I kind of enjoy doing night duty..Its so peaceful, no drs fighting over the case notes with you, we can sit down at the nurses counter and write reports slowly, summarise the day's stuff, and we have more time to spread out our workload, though we have alot to do too..Night shift didn't turn out so bad after all..Only that i'm feeling a little disorientated to time and date now..haha..Melatonin, please get back to work!!

There is something else i have to solve..A major crisis that i'm facing right now:
a) To apply for Mt A / Thomson med ctr
b) To apply for T T S H

My ward sister has personally asked me on my plans after grad..Seems like i am getting good feedback from the ward staff, but i am really scared of working in the ward..I'm worried about being not able to handle so much..I'm afraid i would not meet up to sister's expectations..You all know how gong and blur i can be right..plus accident-prone, and not observant enough..I'm really confused..Both my ward sisters have been trying to talk me out of applying to private hosp, as they feel that i shld at least gain some experience working here before going over there if i'm really interested still..He even said, "If you can work in T T S H, you can work in any other hospitals in Singapore.." haha..Been talking to some of the staff nurses too..All their opinions are the same..So i'm really confused..I think i'm getting a headache..Can someone advice me?
