My Last Night Duty

I just want to share that i had a really tough and very tiring duty last night. We received many patients in the ward with 4 patients on monitoring - 2 patients need to check every hour, and the other 2 was in every 2 hours. I was only the nursing attendant on duty, with 2 nurses - 1 was our charge nurse and the other 1 was the medication nurse.
After i had my rounds to check their vital signs, i noticed that those 2 patients need strict monitoring since they don't have a stable vital signs. So to cut the story short, after few hours, those patients went on arrest. So since I was the only staff that was there, i hurriedly do CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) and minutes later, the doctor and nurses arrived but unfortunately, we weren't able to save them. With a heavy heart, we comforted them and said our condolences.

It was still 11 pm and as any person feels, we were hungry and need to have a late night snacks.

At 2 am, we received a Reco from tertiary hospital, saying that they already accepted our referral. So we have to look for a nurse o nursing attendant to accompany o assist the patient during travel. We contacted almost all on off duty, but nothing confirmed. Time flies really fast that it's already 5am, ferry will depart at 5:30, and the last option we have was to choose any staff on duty to assist the patient. So guess who's staff? Yeah, it's me that never had a nap.

Never mind what i looked like🙄..

So we travelled and had a quick nap at the ambulance.

We arrived at VSMMC, one of the tertiary hospital here in Cebu. On our way back to the port, we decided not to have our breakfast since we assume we can have the 11:30 trip. I admit i was so hungry but i don't have a choice. We arrived 30 minutes early so after we had our tickets, we hurriedly went to carenderia to have our brunch -breakfast and lunch. And to remind this stressful yet worth it duty, i had a picture in Metro, not to have a shopping but to show that we only passed by..
