411 - FYI

  • I put my first perfect IV in today. Not a single drop of blood spilled. Felt like a boss. As at yesterday, i was still using hand to pack blood. lol. 
  • I have an Emergency medicine exam tomorrow worth 15% of my RPM grade. I don't know my left from my right. It's a mock code exam, meaning a) it's a verbal exam b) we have to know how to manage the code, including interpreting EKGs and working the AED/Defribillator. 
  • I am tired of being a student
  • One silly nurse was trying to engage in an unnecessary power play with me. I was just like, "wetin dey worry this one, mscheeew. Idiot" They left the patient's leads in the OR after surgery and the PACU nurse asked me to go back and get it. When i got back there, i asked the nurse which one it was, she grabbed it from my hands, said "these were supposed to go with the patient" and walked to the other end of the OR. Well, duh! So i went to meet her and told her they asked me to bring the leads back but she wouldn't give it to me, saying she was going to go to the PACU. How about you give me, since that's what i came here for and i'm going back right away. Mba nu, she no gree. So i walked away o. Got back the PACU and everyone was looking at me for the leads, i thot this idiot was right behind me, but she was taking her sweet time. So the PACU nurse looks at me like an incompetent idiot and starts to walk towards the OR, only for madam nurse to show up at the door. I was just like, wetin i wan use EKG leads take do, wey this woman no gree give me. Some people just like to show themselves for no reason.
  • There's another OR nurse who is just a witch, but i don't send her and smile at her all the time. She's a winch for Jesus. 
  • I love this rotation. 
  • My resident is all kinds of awesome.
  • I saw another black, pretty decent looking surgeon today, not the other neurosurgery resident that looks like Akpu. 
  • I refuse to carry last tomorrow, so i'm out. Time to go memorize those algorithms.
  • If you sent me an email, i saw it. I will respond ASAP. Life is threatening to swallow me. I have dropped the ball on many things these last few weeks.

  7. Take a deep breath. One day, you shall be the one giving the orders. Also nurses don't like medical students or residents for that matter. It has something to do with knowing all this stuff and not getting paid like doctors. Na we tell them say make dem no go med school? Looking forward to calling you Doki.

    1. Deep breath taken. lol. Yeah, some nurses are really nice though and like students. I try to smile and be nice to them, no need for unnecessary animosity. The ones that are just mean for nothing have to live with themselves. I no get power.

  9. Lol @ looks like akpu. Can't stop laughing. I can just imagine what he looks like. The reason some nurses do the power play is cos they know you'd soon be their boss soon so they wan make the most of your rookie stage before it's all over. Just smile and ignore as usual. It would soon be over before you know it.
