hey..i know i know... no update. I"m giving u a report that i'm supposed to submit but i didnt :)
It’s the 2nd day of my nursing week (6th March) where I’m posted to Hospital Tuanku Jaafar in Seremban. The bus departed from IMU Bukit Jalil at 6.15am and reach IMU Clinical School in Seremban at about 7.10am. We gathered at the Conference Room for Briefing by Matron Kalsom. The briefing starts at about 8.20am. The matron explained to us about the objectives of this nursing week and the dangers of sharp objects like injection which is to avoid being pricked accidentally. She also explained about the importance of passing report and how to arrange the bed. After the briefing we are divided into 14 groups as the sister in charge of my group is Sister Normah. Sister took us for a tour around the hospital after a short chat with our group.
Our 1st stop is the A&E department. She explained to us about triage which is the help required for emergency depending on the severity of the case. E.g.: red is for emergency and so on. Next is the Observational room where it is a place for patients who are waiting for black investigations. In this room, vital signs are measured every hour and tapid sponge is done to patients with high fever. Blood bank is the next pit stop of the tour. The sister in charge explained what happen after a person donates blood. Most of the blood which is kept in the hospital is blood O- . The screening for blood is conducted in Pusat Darah Negara and will be sent back to the hospital for storage which last about a month. I went to the MRI room as well and was amazed by the technology of MRI. Computer is used to see X-rays of film showing the cross section of the backbone (Patient’s). Next is the occupational therapy room where hand , the upper limb of the nervous system and the cognitive behavior is being assessed through simple tasks like picking up stuffs, dressing and so on. Splinting is also available to correct deformities. After that we moved on to the CAPD department (Continious Amplitary Peritoneal Dialysis) where a machine using water to clean the kidney. Next is the haemodialysis where kidney patients clean their blood. Before using the machine to clean their blood, an operation is done 1st to join the artery and vein on the forearm ( joining the fistula) so that the venous is now linked to the artery. Then, the machine helps to filter the blood in the venous and the artery as well. Other places are the Pathology lab, Physiotherapy lab ( where patients especially stroke patients exercise to regain their posture and also the movement of their injured area like hands, legs, etc.) and Pharmacy counter. Then we proceed to the mortuary. Unfortunately there’s no dead body inside so there goes the fun. Anyway the officer working in the mortuary explained about how the body is kept in the freezer and the equipments used in autopsy. There was also a weight bin where the fresh red organs are measured to note the changes in size compare to the normal size. After leaving that eerie place, we moved on to the O&G department. I saw some patients do blood test and also checking the pulse of the baby. Next the diagnosis rooms which consist of stress test room, echocardiogram room (to observe and measure the heart beating) and then its 10.20am. Time for Break ( tea break)
End of Part 1
