Birthday party.. DIY dinner.. suntanning.. work..

Wed--> attend Enna birthday party.. supposely.. to hv approximately 15 plus ppl.. ended up.. about 10 was present... realised that.. many ppl over here.. simply like to cancel and gave an excuse not coming at the last min.. mmh.. feel that.. if u dont hv intention to attend.. shld just decline the invitation.. last min cancellation.. doesnt sound good.. anyway.. that's not the main point.. It was like a pot luck.. where each of us got to bring some stuff.... had some food.. bought a cake.. met some nice friends.. dance.. etc... enjoyable..

Fri --> DIY (Drew-It-Yourself) dinner.. "Ice berg lettuce + Honey overbaked chicken + tomatoes cum bacon n cheese + sweet mascot wine + strawberry fondue".. overall.. taste good.. although it was indeed a ICE berg (Freezer) lettuce.. taste crushy.. importantly..is the effort n thought that count..

Sat --> Went suntanning at Scarbrough beach.. Perth weather was 37DegC.. unbelievable hot.. but.. nice weather.. had nice sandwiches.. plus cooling granita.. rested..n went to work..
--> Had a busy night.. was suppose to knock off at 8pm.. due to one of the resident aircon fuse got burnt off.. which trigger the fire alarm system.. fireman came.. residents got frighten.. scared.. some confused..n some simply dont bother (cool as a cucumber).. as thou the fire alarm didnt rang at all.. funny.. tried to get the resident settled down.. assisted them to the dinning room.. all seated in one spot.. hence we can know that all resident are safe... tried to calm them down.. saying everything is all right.. n fine... however.. One resident.. vomitted on her bed.. clothes.. n floor.. even the cupboard was stained with vomit.. got to clean up.. she was a heavy lady.. weighs 98kg.. she said she felt sick.. n vomitted all over.. told her to be cooperatives.. so I can help to clean her up.. took me nearly 30mins.. to get her nice.. good.. n ready for bed.. cant believe u can perspire so much.. within 30mins.. think lack of exercise.. shld start doing something.. haa..

Sunday --> completed another report.. care plan.. waiting to be proof read.. Went to work.. one resident fell.. found him seated on the floor.. as he has dementia.. hence does not rmb what had happened... his kind of funny.. cute.. adorable but yet mischievous at times.. got another carer to hoist him up together.. gt a cup of tea for him.. to calm him down.. just right before knocking off for work.. found the same resident.. covered with faeces.. on his hand.. pampers.. bed.. got to change his bed.. pamper.. clean him up.. ended up.. gt off work at 930pm.. mmh.. yet another day.. but.. fulfilling.. cause manage to settle all the resident.. in place..

As told by one of our lecturer.. as a nurse.. it is a norm for nurses to work OT.... (dependent you gt paid or not).. however.. so long you do your best.. get everything done.. even if you gt to change the resident at the last minutes before you knock off work.. as long as you know that you have done the needful.. no regret.. duty of care is the utmost important thing.. Agreed ...
