Yan Ping has done so many things that angered the staffs in the ward in a single day. They are all asking us if she's in the same batch as us because her new nametag doesn't have the colour tags. They thought that she was still in Year1. =x
1. She brought a patient with a PEG dressing to shower without covering the dressing with a plastic bag, thus soaking the wound. Furthermore, the dressing has to be done by Sister. She thought that she could just ask the staff nurse about the dressing and re-do it. So the issue was brought up to sister and the lecturer was called in at the end of the day. We guessed that she left the fall risk patient in the toilet himself because she said she only found the dressing wet when he came out of shower.
2. During doctor's round, one of the doctors asked her to prepare a dressing trolley. So she went to ask the staff nurse who was busy with a going-for-op patient. The staff nurse asked her to look for the wound nurse, who is one of the sisters, called Daya[sp?]. Sister Daya was in the cubicle. But, YP went back to the doctor and called HIM Daya and asked about the dressing. The doctor asked her to ask the staff again. Being nice, I went to tell her Daya is Sister Daya who is in the cubicle. And she told the sister she not sure which wound and the sister asked her to confirm then get back to her. YP went back to the doctor and ask which wound again. Sister was so angry that YP actually made a fool out of herself.
3. During PEG feeding, YP aspirated undigested milk out of the patient. Without informing the ANs, she went to discard the milk and continued the feeding. She almost fed the wrong one because she didn't check the charts, lucky another student went in to stop her in time. When we told her that she should inform the ANs, she told us that the SCHOOL TAUGHT US THAT AS LONG AS THE LITMUS PAPER TURN PINK CAN FEED. AND THAT SHE DON'T HAVE TO REPORT THESE THINGS TO THE STAFFS. I remember the school teaching us PEG don't have to test litmus paper and we have to tell the staffs if anything happens. She even said that if I/V bag finish already, we can go and check the case notes and than change the bag ourselves. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?
Gosh. How did she pass her previous postings? I'm so scared of working with her now. What if something happens but it's not done by me? She even wanted to do the telemetry[some heart equipment] thingy. Now the whole ward knows who is she and what she has done.
waiting for you right here
