| Zzzzz |
I have continued to work 2 nights a week each week, it's great for extra cash and isn't too demanding. Normally I special particular patients. For example I was on a liver ward and had to special an extremely confused middle-aged man. He was an ex alcoholic & drug user also previously in prison. Apparently according to his family he isn't usually confused but after having a procedure on his liver he has become confused.
He was very testing of my patience! He spoke non-stop all night about a whole load of stuff ranging from the 'Govenor' being shot, his friends in jail, his sexually abusive grandad, Jeremy Kyle and much more. Baring in mind he was 1 of a 4 bed bay so the other patients were extremely angry at his never ending stream of conversation!
With the occasional 'Be quiet!' He would shush for a minute or 2 only to carry on rambling. Anyway, the other patients described me as an angel in the morning and I apologised profusely for their lack of sleep, bless them.
Oh also, I accidentally let him drink about 100-200ml of calogen (a high cal drink) since he was telling me about living on fortisip so when he asked me for 'his drink' I presumed the calogen was a fortisip and passed it to him. He finished the bottle and then the nurse came to me and said 'Why did you just let him drink all of that?? He's only supposed to have 90ml a day and has already had 60ml!' Well I felt like a complete idiot! Another lesson learnt! In my defence, no one said anything about it to me and it was left out along with his meds. Never mind ey...
Specialling patients is a boring yet very interesting job!
Hope you are all well my lovelies! Xx Alex xX
