First time deployed

To another ward, I was told to report for work this afternoon. The surgical high dependency unit was short on staff today so they required manpower from the other departments. Who knew I was worthy to be deployed to help out at other wards!

Naturally, I was not thrilled when I first found out I was going to be working in an unfamiliar environment, moreover a surgical unit; I did several postings in the orthopaedics discipline and my internship at a surgical ICU, but it has been medical ICU the moment I stepped out of the nursing student uniform. Well, the shift went by and I did okay, with the help of the kind nurses in the ward.

It has been a long time since I filled up a an OT checklist.

And the learning continues.
