Today's first day on the ward for this placement. Paediatrics is something really different. I'm in cardiology/renal ward, but coincidently all my preceptor's patient are not under cardio/renal unit. Had a quiet afternoon, our patients' all good, so for first half of the shift we've been helping out other nurses.

So, my first exposure of paeds:
- Had a 5-hour-old new born baby girl admitted into the ward for congenital heart defect. Definitely my youngest patient so far!
- Played with 5-month-old baby girl who was admitted under General Medicine. Active, cute smiling baby. Got a chance to feed her milk too. =)
- 2-year-old boy woke up from nap and realised his mummy was not there. No one managed to coax him, and I had to phone his mum to come back to ward.
- Had 2 patients from Oncology. They are the older children (7 and 10 years old), so pretty easy to take care of.

That's all I can think of now. Quite tired despite having an easy shift. Lots of new terms to remember. And I have to try to get used to the shift work again. Can't wait for more challenges!

Time to sleep... Ciao~!
