Tagged by Meng Loo - Nurse Story...

Ok, Meng Loo, here’s my homework. sorry for the delay, haha! :
Once you've been tagged, you have to write a post with sixteen random things, habits or goals about you.
At last, choose five people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them.

June sis - tell us nurse story please :)

1. I cried almost every week when I was a nursing student because they torture us in school. The stress level is unbelievable.

2. Nursing is a profession which require both brain power and physical strength!

3. My heaviest patient was 400 pounds(181.8 kg) :P I needed 5 other nurses to help me to turn that patient and 3 of them had to be male nurses.

4. You also need a strong stomach, and be calm NO MATTER what happen! Ex: A patient throw up while I was drawing his blood, I couldn’t run or even move away because I have to finish my task.
-_-

5. I still remember the names of some of my patients.

6. I had nightmares during my first few weeks of work. One of them, I was sitting up in bed holding my husband’s finger because I was testing blood sugar in my dream…wa-ha-ha-ha. After that, he made sure all the needles are kept away.

7. I didn’t know I have such a large bladder, one time I forgot to go to the restroom for about 10 hours straight because one of my patient was in crisis and I was running around for the whole shift.

8. There are many places to work other than the hospital. School, office, corporate building, private home, independently, etc…

9. The best thing about working in the hospital is we only work 3 days a week, the down side is sometimes it has to be on the weekend (weekend is nicer to work because it’s more quiet) but then I can’t go out with hubby.

10. I see life differently after working in the hospital…

11. Many times I pray to God to help ease their sufferings and pain because there’s nothing else we could do…

12. When a patient died, besides the family member we pay attention to care and comfort the patient in the same room because usually they became worry and develop anxiety attack.

13. My goal in my career is to work in delivering the message of prevention and living a meaningful life.

14. I am proud to be a nurse but mostly I am very grateful because I know for the fact that it cannot be done by myself, they are many blessings that I received. My hubby is one of the angels that help me.

15. I enjoy describing the many different "disgusting" details of handling care of patients to my mom, muahahaha, because she used to tell me and my brothers that if we cannot handle “dirty” things how are we going to handle our own babies’ poops?
Ahem, mom, bring it on!

16. Life is short! Find the meaning of life and live a meaningful life not just an enjoyable one.

Now, choose 5 people…hmmm, hey guys no pressure, you can do it or leave it. hehe

1. Siew – please include your romance story, I don’t know how and where you met your husband. *wink

2. Gigi – tell me about you and John after having a baby. You can write about anything except Ivan because I think I’ve heard enough about him, LOL!

3. KW- tell me about your life in MN or anything

4. Wow, that’s all I can tag….tell me how to recruit my buddy to start a blog.

5. Shen Yee, stop reading my blog quietly, now, time to come out and write something…..
