Well now into my second week 9-13th july off work. Also my last week off doing earlies all week monday to friday then unfortunately the weekends start. It now doesn't feel as daunting, probably as I now know the routine. Also I feel I know more things now and don't have to ask as many questions. On the Tuesday 3rd I got moved to another ward which was an elderly ward. It was ok but felt abit like a spare part at first as couldn't do medications. They're trialling electronic medications, which I haven't been shown, as don't have on my ward.So I ended up helping with feeding then washes and observations. It was nice for a change and to see how other wards work but definitely prefer mine.
On Wednesday we had a patient who didn't speak any English, she spoke cantonese. So was difficult trying to communicate with her but think we got the idea. There is translators in the hospital if required. Luckily next day got someone opposite her who spoke same language and was happy to translate for us.
I looked after a patient who thought I was very cheerful and always had a smile on my face, which was nice to hear. Another patient also when every I went into his room but on an English accent, which was sweet. He had friends who were currently in Liverpool, UK.
