My OR experience was so far the best I've had in my nursing education. that's why i'm pretty sad because tonight was our last duty in the OR. oh well... my regret: when i scrubbed in for a minor surgery, the only thing i did was gave a sponge to a doctor... that's it! too bad, i was quite excited for it (but anxious at the same time). major surgery: i only retracted the bladder retractor.... sighs... i wish i had the experience of assisting in actual, giving out instrument. anyway, well be having our duties back in OR nxt school year.
it was my 1st time to observe a Uterine hysterectomy procedure. the uterus and cervix was actually out if the body! it's really tiny! you'd think how can a baby fit in such a small space.
the minor procedure was an internal bleeding in the knee. the patient seemed to be in pain inspite of the general anesthesia. the doctor applied a cylindrical mold after the procedure.
after the surgeries, we had our return demonstration for scrubbing, gowning and gloving. mr. tan was our CI. he's a fun teacher. i really apprecieate that he handled our class. ms. aala was the greatest. :)
after that, well, we all played pinoy henyo. haha. killed time. had fun.... our new funny word... "beyjtabols".... hahahaah!!!!!
