My job as a nurse is I believe a calling it wasn't my choice but I think I was led to this path to follow the footsteps of Florence Nightingale.My shift last night with a patient who was very unwell shown me that.I also think that through my years of experience being a nurse I know that the patient is not right at first glance again not to brag.I look after this patient for the last 2 night shifts and last night he told me he couldn't breathe.Assessing and looking at him he was pale,cold clammy and saturations was low on air.Immediately I had informed the doctor(Registrar) that he was unwell.The doctor reviewed him and said he couldn't feel his pulse and is his BP right?Bloods we're taken specifically the blood gas which determines how unwell the patient is.The blood gas came back and shown PH-7.2 which means he is critically unwell.Started IV fluids,put him on oxygen and started IV pantoprazole for potential of ?GI bleeding since he opened his bowels with black stools.Low urine output started on dobutamine infusion.His potassium was also high which was 6.3 meaning he was hyperkalemic.Treated that with Insulin infusion to lower it down so that he wouldn't go into arrthymias.All through the shift kept a close eye on him.I had to inform his family(wife)that he wasn't doing too good.His wife stayed with him during the night.Finishing my shift this morning his blood gas went down lactate-3.1 which means he is improving.I was glad that he was getting better and hasn't gone into cardiac arrest.I just realised that my job as nurse the main goal is to save lives and I have just save another one.I was quite exhausted during that shift with only 2-3 hours of sleep the night before but as a nurse you are selfless and forget your own worries to do your job to the best of your abilities and give the excellent care to your patients ❤️

I have started this blog when I was trying to cope with my mom's unexpected death but as what they say life has to go on and you never forget that she was a part of your life and I have learnt to accept that she won't be with us.💔

Moving on I have continued with this blog mainly because I would want to have share my thoughts and probably experiences on here.I still believe that writing is an outlet of self expression hence 1st option was journalism or Mass Communications a Course that I wanted to take in college but I was led to a different path which is Nursing.

Just a thought I wanted to share I was born and grew up in my hometown Cebu City where people are always happy,very friendly people and cebuanos are always honest when you deal with them.I have lived abroad for a few years now not to brag or anything but I always miss my hometown,the food most especially.the common places I use to go to.Cebu has changed a lot for better it has become more busier more vehicles more new buildings and new business. Although I think with climate change it has become a bit warmer and more humid.

Hence I think wherever my journey will take me or which ever country I will go.I will still look back and know that Cebu will always have a place in my heart.❤️Hence this song reminds me of Cebu The bisaya version of Palagi

It's Nov.9 today 6 years ago I have lost you my world crumbled,my heart felt it was ripped apart,it was so traumatic hearing you were gone mama since it was so sudden, because I wasn't prepared for it emotionally 3 days before this date I have spoken to you over the phone it seemed you were fine and okey. Your last words were "I LOVE YOU DAY"😔💔If i could turn back the time we could have spent more days together you could have seen your grandchildren then they are both grown up now Mark is doing well he is in university you looked after him when he was young and Marianne you only saw her when she was a baby she is now in Year 9.Looking back always cherish the moments spent with family because Life is short and anything can happen.I know that you are guiding us up there and you are with us all the time in spirit here on earth.We miss you and you will always be remembered as long as we live.❤️💕

Its 01:30 am in the morning I am still wide awake half term break of Marianne and I am on Annual leave.It's Halloween but most importantly it's All Soul's Day and All Saint's Day.We usually celebrate this occassions which means we visit our relatives who has already departed.Looking back I always remember the cemetery would be full of people,graves with flowers and lighted candles.Now it's both my parents who has already departed from this life to the next ,that would make me an orphan😔 but on the positive side I do have my family with me.My mum's ashes are laid in Chanterland's Crematorium so I could just visit her but my dad's remains are in the Philippines which luckily I do have relatives who could visit him there.I just thought of writing on this page and I do think we should always remember them our dear departed because I do believe that they are always with us in spirit.I do miss you Mama Lutik and Papa Vic💔
