Twas a sudden notice two days back i checked my schedule for JUMADA 1 then i saw my name with the SICU schedule.. it was a sigh of relief on my part coz i was originally  from  SICU( surgical ICU) then i was transferred to MICU( medical ICU) to swap with another staff who was pregnant @ that time. So for almost half year now i was used to the routine there in MICU. I was expecting to be transferred back to SICU at least by august or september and not this early.. So i had mixed feelings – gladness coz i will be with my SICU family ate pam, ate vangie, ma’m claire,tita che,noura,mana,rasha etc not to mention the surgeons & anesthesia doctors who are more than glad to have me back.. But i was also sad coz ill be missing the company of sir lito ,tita marlyn, ate jovy and the indian staff who mostly dominate MICU staffs also Dr.afrah who was so patient with us with a few tantrums of course hehehe..

So back to SICU i went..my first assignment was the post CABG patient in Bed F.. Which i feel I’ll be handling for sometime since the patient is undergoing prisma .. The patient is having renal failure and needs to be dialyse only that we cannot bring her down she is that unstable to be brought down to HD unit..Good thing though at least the patient would not leave her room and free from stress of transportation from one unit to another for every session of her dialysis..but on our part as caregivers it sure is tough!! As i was doing my routines 11p-7am it was backbreaking  prisma plus morning care is tough mama is so bloated and really heavy so three person needs to render am care for her. And of course i had to carry out orders, do extractions, monitoring etc so you could just imagine how i look like after an 8hour duty.. My only prayers is her conditions to improve, not just her vitals signs to stabilize but to really graduate from ICU and live life as it was before. That i guess would be the best reward any nurse could hope for.To see our former patients living life as if nothing happened at all.At least we could say it was a job well done!
