Hey Nurse!

Hi! I'm KeoLin...

Published on July 23, 2004 By Keo Lin In Blogging

I will be entering my fourth week of work at my work place. I have survived. I literally do nothing. I sit in the office and wait for the med rounds or a consumer to knock on the door needing help. If I am on duress then I answer those. But apart from that I am there for "what could happen". FOr the first few days I sat at my chair reading charts while waiting for action and had the cnc, cn, num all walk past and look for things. I was anticipating being asked why i wasn't working, but no such question was asked. Instead a question that involved a large box of condoms was asked by the cnc. For those not a medical professional (you are lucky

cnc is to nurse as editor is to journalist, waiter is to head waiter. SO to here my cnc asking about a large box of condoms does cause me to want to laugh myself silly. Luckily I kept it together. And no I didnt mistake what he was saying either. You see, we are not to encourage sexual relations between consumers but they will, so we supply them with the nesscary means to protect themselves. Some female consumers are on the pill. It's quite amazing to see human nature not being denied even though a person's insanity can cause them to believe all sorts of things. Which is also why many young males with a mental illness are "non-compliant" these drugs we give them to be "sane" causes their sex drive to go from high to practically zip. Anyway I am getting all clinical.

I just did 6 3pm to 11pm shifts in a row and i don't feel as stuffed as i would had i done 4-5 day shifts. Although during the day shifts I do, do more. I am still learning about all that I have to do at work and getting to know the people i work with and the consumers. I am not as nervous as I used to be and this is great! I got the fright of myl ife though last night as one of the consumers told me i have good child bearing hips. it's a beautiful thing to have good child bearing hips. which frightened me because she reffered to me having children *faints*. Frightening thought. Of course when i told a fellow nurse i found out that I came of well as she is normally called a lesbian s***. so ok, child bearing hips is not as bad as i first thought lol
