SUMMARY
On 23rd
day of September, 2013 was our first exposure in emergency room
of DRH with
the concept of emergency nursing. On this day we were assigned
in different areas in ER and Iwas assigned in CIU. We had our
endorsement at seven in the morning and had our rounds. After
the rounds we were oriented of the equipments in the area. After
the orientation I met my first
client in CIU and this patient was a stroke patient. Upon
entering of the client we gave O2 and
dress the patient in patient gown then followed by the reading
of ECG then insertion of the ET
tube, NGT and catheter. All the procedure was repeated upon the
arrival of new patients. I
transferred patient to ward. I had my late lunch break at one in
the afternoon with my partner.
After the lunch break new patient arrived and do the same
procedures. Weve been dismissed
after the shifts done.
REFLECTION
This day was my first exposure in the emergency room and even
that was my first time to
do those procedures I made it well performed. I grabbed all the
opportunities to do the
procedures. Even that day was so exotic I made myself an
emergency nurse within the eight
hours of duty. This day gives me new experiences and new skills
to learned.

SUMMARY
On 24th
day of September, 2013 was our second day of exposure in
emergency room of
DRH with the concept of emergency nursing. On this day I was
still assigned in CIU room. Thisday was not so exotic because I
handle few patients. I performed the same procedures like
assisting in insertion of ET tube, NGT, Catheter, ECG,
transporting of patients and many more.
At noon I had my lunch break and after that I went back to the
ER. As I arrived in my assigned
area I had new client that not supposed to be in CIU because the
client was experiencing chills,
so the nurse attendant asked me to transfer the patient to
family medicine to continued
observation. As I returned a new patient was arrived from the
surgery ward. This client
experiencing dyspnea because of neck mass obstruction so I
assisted the physician for ET tube
insertion, but sadly the patient experienced negative pulse, and
breathing. The doctor ordered to
perform CPR and then I performed it even it was my first time. I
revived the patient at first after
the procedure, but again the patient experienced again negative
pulse and breathing so two of myclassmates tried to CPR but still
negative so I continued to perform CPR and after the 3 cycles
we revived the patient. After doing all the procedure we
transport the patient to MICU. And that
was the last patient Ive handled on that day.
REFLECTION
This was an overwhelming day in ER where in I performed my
skills even it was my first
time. I am so thankful that I learned things on how to save the
life of others. I made another day
so unforgettable where I became a tool to revive a dying person.
On this day I never regret this
course of mine. Every person deserves a second life.
