No Rest For Three Days

If you're a nurse, you work in shifts and most of the time the shifting in hospital goes by the following shift: 6am-2pm, 2pm-10pm and 10pm-6am. "Every 8" is a term used when you have only 8 hours of rest before going to work, for example you are in the night shift then the following day you have to work in the 2p-10p shift, it means you're in every 8 shift.

Anyways, since Saturday I have working in every 8 shift. I'm on the night shift last Saturday, then 2-10 shift on Sunday then 6-2 shift on Monday. In short, I have so little time to have a rest, considering that my travel time going home is almost 2 hours so that means 4 hours were wasted just going to work then going back home.

Here's the breakdown of what happened to me for the last three days:

SATURDAY

I'm on the night shift once again and this time around Jops mentioned that we will have a German Food night. I really don't have any idea what kind of food does Germans eat or what kind of food they're famous for. What I only know is that there is a food known as German sausage, and they're really heavy drinkers and they like beers. That's all, so I decided not to bring any food. But to my surprise, Jops brings food this time around, birthday kasi ng kapatid niya. Pero dahil isa lang ang nagdala ng food sa amin, we had another emergency case: emergency cysto-RPG.

SUNDAY

I'm on the 2p-10p shift andbecause I attended the mass first before going home, I was only able to get a 2 hours of sleep, so I decided that I'll just take a nap at work. Hoping that we don't have any emergency case in the afternoon.Unfortunately, when I decided to take a nap already, the nursing office called our area and asked for a pull-out in the CS case of the DR-CD, and seeing that I'm the junior in the staff, I'm the lucky one. Pero kahit papaano, I think it's a blessing in disguise dahil pagkabalik ko, meron namang emergency case sa amin which is kinda toxic buti hindi na ako doon. :)

MONDAY

I'm on the 6-2 shift this time at dahil every 8 nga ako, doon na ako sa OR natulog nung Sunday night. And dahil mukhang kawawang -kawawa ako, I requested to be placed in one of the heaviest case para stable lang ako at hindi kung san-san napupunta. At dahil heavy case siya, ni-request ko na rin na maging circulating si Sir Ge para hindi ko na siya hihintayin pauwi. Good thing they granted my request.

Yung case ko is pyelolithotomy possible anatrophic nephrolithotomy. At dahil ang swerte-swerte ko, ayun nga at naging anatrophic nephrolith ang ginawa sa patient. Good thing at si Sir Ge yung circulating ko at madaling pakiusapan kapag may kelangan ako.

After our case, sabay rin kaming nakauwi pero before going home, sinamahan ko muna siya to get yung deposit nila sa dati nilang inuupahang bahay. Dapat idedeposit na rin namin yun sa bank pero he said wag na lang muna dahil icocompute pa niya and everything kung bakit mababa lang yung nakuha nila. After that naglaro muna kami bago tuluyang umuwi sa kanya-kanyang bahay.
