Khi ta 30
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 19, 2008
“Đàn bà ba mươi đã thoát ra được những viển vông tuổi đôi mươi. Họ không cần lãng mạn, một sự ấm áp, một khoảnh khắc đẹp, mà mong muốn sở hữu, muốn có con, có người tình, những điều có thật trong đời. Mơ ước của tuổi ba mươi đã thật hơn, đã không còn chỉ là mơ ước. “
- Trang Hạ
Có những ước mơ đã và đang tồn tại. Khi nào thôi mơ những giấc mơ đẹp, lãng mạn, nhưng viễn vông? Khi ta 30?

Hum, I’m searching resourses for my paper in maternal nursing class. Over the last hour, I found a bunch. This should be a good start.
3rd clinical day (Labor & Delivery Unit)
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 9, 2008
This week’s clinical was another fantastic day for me. I got to see 2 Cesarean sections. The nurses were very good in explaining things and let me have some hands-on experience.
The first C-section case I saw was carried out because the baby was in a breech position. There was a mistake among the caring team that the mom had twins, until C. greeted the parents saying “babies”, the father corrected the nurse that they were going to have a “baby”. I followed A. while she prepared a lot of paperwork. The mom needed to sign the consents for her surgery, any treatments (if necessary) for her baby and herself, disclosure of information, hepatitis B shot for her baby. Then A. put a gel on the mom’s abdomen, put a monitor on to monitor the baby’s heart beat. She also gave the mom medication that prevents vomiting, and something else that was put in her IV, and shaved her lower abdomen where the doctor would make an incision. Then we went to the operating room to preprare identification bands, other paperwork, and count the surgical items.

Bao nhiêu cái nắm tay để xóa bỏ khoảng cách ?
Bao nhiêu cái ôm để thấy ta trưởng thành ?
Bao nhiêu lời nói dối mới làm anh hiểu em ?
Bao nhiêu nụ cười để làm vơi khắc khoải ?
Bao nhiêu im lặng để biết ta là của nhau ?
Bao nhiêu chờ đợi để đổi lấy 1 lời yêu chân thành?
Bao nhiêu thời gian để em không còn nhớ anh?

Overwhelmed
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 6, 2008
I often feel so overwhelmed just to think about what I need to learn. It seems that the more I study, the less I know. I felt pretty good after high school, that I knew quite a bit. Now I felt more and more stupid (at least I’m glad to realize that, and be modest).
Socially, I don’t know all the situations in which I should be myself, and when I should follow other people. Also, there are tons of good books that I haven’t read, millions of things I’d like to be knowledgeable about. Read the rest of this entry »

2nd clinical day on Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Posted by: WittyRuby on: September 2, 2008
Today I had a totally different experience from last week at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I had more hands-on experiences with the babies, simple things such as checking their vital signs, and feeding them, but made me feel so good. They are such little cute babies.
First of all, I listened to the shift report with my nurse, B. Listening to the shift report is still a challenge for me, especially with the relatively noisy background with other group reports and all the beeping from the monitors. Abbreviated medical terms were used. I would need to read and learn a lot more to understand these terms faster. Fortunately, B, my nurse today, was very nice and clear in answering all my questions. She also showed me how to do computerized charting. I like the way it works. Everything can be chosen from a list of descriptive options. That ensured professional medical records for all patients. The nurses could also write their own notes when necessary.
My 1st clinical (Mother Baby Unit)
Posted by: WittyRuby on: August 30, 2008
Here I am, excited and stressful again to be back to school and have the 1st clinical for the semester. I think keeping my journal and sharing it with everyone is a good thing:
We all get the orientation, get to know our instructor and the facility. I have the impression that she is a good instructor that will be calm and supportive to me ^^.
While others choose to go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Labor & Delivery unit, I feel it’s safer for the 1st day to go to the floor.

The guy’s wallet
Posted by: WittyRuby on: August 30, 2008
There is a man coming to Security finding his lost wallet. He listed what he had in the wallet, blah blah, & $45. The security got his wallet turned in. He had his wallet back but the money was gone. This gave me a little thought. If it were me who found his wallet & turned it in, I wouldn’t take the money, although I want to hihi. The rationale of that person’s act probably was no one could know he/she took the money. I thought A. people were better, but probably not everyone. well…Anyway, they did make the effort to turn the wallet in. The man would have a lot more troubles if he lost all his cards and stuff ^_^.
