"suicide notes" - article for Level 1 Posted at March 30, 2014 1 comments (+)

“Suicide Notes”

Life should be treasured like a gift. Well! This should be considered as sacred when it comes to spiritual aspect. As many of us always mind this thought, but there someone out there think that his/her life is just like a mess. This people tend to be weak, when he/she experienced depression and some emotional disturbances. And because of this weakness, he/she makes more prone to a self-inflicted instances. This what we called “suicide”

Suicidal thoughts, also known as suicidal ideation are thoughts about how to kill oneself, which can range from a detailed plan to a fleeting consideration and does not include the final act of killing oneself. The majority of people who experience suicidal ideation do not carry it through. Some may, however, make suicide attempts. Some suicidal ideations can be deliberately planned to fail or be discovered, while others might be carefully planned to succeed.

Some study shows that this generation, the most prone of this tendency are Teenager and Middle age man. How come these people handle this situation? And how they can deal with it? And by ending their lives, will could save them from their depression or even what they went through. By all means this act is their escape for all pains they have.

Suicidal ideation is a feeling people may have when they are no longer able to cope with an overwhelming situation, which could be financial, the death of somebody they love, breaking up, or a devastating/debilitating illness. There may be a feeling of bleakness and an erroneous assumption that taking their own life might be the answer. If the individual's mental state is heightened enough, suicide may seem to be the only exit.

Experts believe there may be a genetic factor associated with a higher risk of suicide. Individuals with suicidal thoughts, or those who have taken their own lives tend to have a family history of suicide or suicidal thoughts.

Emergency Room is one of the place were these people end up. Doctors and nurses tried to save them. And deal to their needs. And as one of them, this experienced is just an eye opener to me and all of us. we need to be more aware about these people. And As medical practitioner, I need to be more informed about their needs and how can I help them too. Dealing and understanding them is the best way to know them better. This thing could be possible happened to anyone of us.

Mental illness is the most common cause of suicidal ideation and completed suicide. A significant number of mental problems, such as depression, can be successfully treated with medications and talking therapies, such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) or counseling. Individuals with a mental illness/problem should see their doctor and get treatment.

my emerygency room experience Posted at March 23, 2014 0 comments (+)

when i was browsing my facebook. One of my fb friend post his status about his experienced in hospital when he mistakenly entered to a room and saw with his own two eyes, how doctors trying to revived his patient . so, i came out with an idea. lemme share you my experienced in PHG ER as volunteer nurse.

i know i haven't had a lot of experienced when it comes to this part.but regardless how short I've been exposed to this experience. i know this things would be an eye opener for me and to other people.

when days flies so fast, same the time that i've been staying in PGH in almost hundred hours.

at last! i can barely say that i was a nurse sometimes :D and that's a really fulfilling on my part.And in this reality, there's some chances that you considered as blessing in this guise. i've never imagined that this chances that possibly happened to me now. i've never thought but it happened. :)

Emergency Room, not the place that you want to go. every day there is one person fighting for his life. a battle between life and death. and how could you cope up for this scenario, if you have issue about death. and a serious note to yourself that everyone of us are destined to die. but we die in a different way. could we die in a snap! no pain, but just one click and we end up like reaching the end of the light and the other could possible die in the most painful way. other people die in illness, suffering from their pains, battle for their lives and sudden accident could lead them to the end of the road and that's death.

"yung nakasanayan ko na yung pag pasok twing weekends sa PGH ng 8am, minsan maabutan mo yung isang patient sa loob ng ER puro dugo yung mukha kasi na aksidente. may malalaking sugat na parang tinaga. tapos may na mimilipit sa sobrang sakit ng tya, at bigla na lang magsusuka

"When I go to PGH every weekends for my duty, i always had a chance to seen a patient suffering from pain. multiple vehicular accident patient who totally messed out. blood all over his face. a big wound slashed to his face. patient who suffers in Coronary Artery Disease (stroke), unconscious patient who tried to assess by resident doctors, they trying to apply pressure on chest bone with full forced, just to know if the patient can response. and a lot more action in actually place.

i used to be brave, because this is all i want to be and i believed that the both world can be the best and more exciting than to my regular days. of course, at first i was scared and nervous being part of it. my days passing those death people is just like a HORROR movie for me. i cant even touch them or see them :(

now being here in ER. where i can actually experienced how they save lives. CODE to CPR, ET tube insertions, NGT, IV line, Blood extraction , many times they do the maneuvers, some procedures, and how some pt. came to their end. these things are just a normal routine for them, or should i say for US.

- isang laro ng patentero ang buhay, para makadaan sa kabilang linya kailangan lagpasan ang kalaban. Ang buhay ay isang cycle din ISSUE-PROBLEMA-SOLUSYON tapos back to start again, so walang katapusan ang problema. and this how we need to deal with it. ang buhay nga naman. no choice no?! until you have the choices, so for now make to live to the fullest
.

life is unfair, but we don't need to dwell on it. instead, use it to survive and be ready to any challenges to come out

ER NURSE - my weekends endeavour Posted at January 22, 2014 2 comments (+)

i wanna share some of my experiences this first month of 2014. sort of happenings that makes me feel more better, well although feeling of dissapointment is always there but i know i can get throught with it.

now my weekeends is gonna be exciting than ever, now im been volunteer in PGH (Philippine General Hospital) as ER nurse. that's sound legit and exciting right? :) i've been dreaming to practice my profession than sitting here in office talking all day as receptionist, well the reality tap me at my back and reminds me that i badly needed to earn money. hehe very much thankful because God is Always there to guide me and he didnt let me to feel that im wretched.

back on my PGH experienced, my first 2 days (weekends) that was so indeed fulfilling on my part. hehe i missed those things like being "TOXIC" to my loved profession is real things that i know that would complete me. (arte lang hehe) but seriously i really miss this. it's been a while actually since then, i've never experienced this kind of opportunity. and looking forward for more weekends in ER, for sure i will learn a lot.

last sunday, one of my bestfriend invite me to join her to apply and that application was forwarded to her from one of her colleagues in PGH. and I'm clue less about it, until i found it that application is about calls, sort of taking calls like BPO company, --

"on call Nurse" literally that we're talking those patients on the phone as ER nurse ( Triage ) and

clients are coming from the US and some of the basic requirements are we need to be Good in English (must fluent) and experienced as ER nurse. first my worries - i'm not that good ni speaking english nor to understand them well . haha that's so embarrassing! when the old lady (interviewer) start to stare and asked me about my background. my entired body and my internal organ start to cramp and shakes invountarily :( i'm so nervous to talked to her than talking to my applicants here in rec center :( and now im asking my self WHY?? -_- and i know she's might thinking that im not even qualified to be part of their company. -_- And she asked me what i'm making in my current job and i answered her for particular amount. and i know what she thinking ... and she assessed me for what i'm getting for my job, she also emphasized that im just only worth for that certain amount, and makes me think and realized that i'm not worth 50k for that position. so make sense! i know she want me to improved and realized that i need to be good enough to be worthy. 50k is a big difference for what i get now. i felt awkward and uneasy, things should'nt be like this and even asked my self that do i deserved this :( i can't help it to think about it. i know! maybe she want to help me to improve my self and even tend to think about it. a wake up call for me.

anyway. that experience is just a call for me to be better more. so i don't need to feel upset :)
