..Howdy! It’s been a while since my previous post. Just had my PM shift awhile ago, though the shift was not that tedious, I felt so downhearted not with the shift rather on the issues arising within our unit.
Experience is the best teacher indeed. Even how much people would try to feed you with basic information you could never comprehend until you actually participated in the situation.
A newbie handled a NICU baby it wasn’t her first though. However, an unexpected dilemma arise in the middle of the shift when her preterm baby was extubated. On the positive side, at least the ET tube of the baby was changed so the clogged secretions would be removed. Anyhow the pessimistic side was that Resident doctors would put the blame on the NOD. Its inevitable that babies do move vigorously. Its a disappointing that they would give side comments and would throw a line, “don’t let her handle with this baby again.” Instead of giving constructive criticism in order for the newbie to grow holistically, they are dragging her down.
As the shift ended and we ate our favorite snacks, French fries dipped in a sundae, and my night was enlightened.. “ummm. Noooom. nooom”
Unfortunately, no picture of Sundae ‘coz my mouth is faster than my hands.. haha :))
Latter, received messages similar to this. I remembered its the 1st day of the month therefore its our monthsary.. Awww. haha. :) ♥♥
Hopefully, can meet together to have a post celebrations :))
