Day 7 of 8.

More of the same on my long day. Boiling hot ward. Didn't get my break until 14.15. Not that bothered really because it makes the afternoon shorter. I was working with a 2nd year nursing student. She hasn't really got a lot of go about her; needs a lot of direction. Not seen a lot of evidence of common sense either. Maybe I'm just being too mean. She's on a visit elsewhere tomorrow so I'm on my own on my 10 hour shift tomorrow. It is hard having 8 patients in the morning. The writing is so time consuming. Anyway, I guess it wasn't too bad today. I need to chase something up with one of my patients as I don't know what's happenening with her. She has a wond that needs looking at and nothing was done yesterday. I'm not sure whether I was supposed to be doing anything or not. One thing that was a nightmare was that it was the day the doctors changed over. New SHOs and some registrars. No on call SHO in the morning so the reg was writig take home meds and putting in cannulas. He was very good actually. Saved our bacon! Bring on the 10 hour stretch tomorrow then freedom for 3 days! :-)
