Goodbye Markham

Well its offical I gave my notice yesterday, it was a bitter sweet moment. I have been at Markham along time. The funny thing is that my previous blog was baout all the wonder of working at the hospital.... well let me tell you what happened sunday night, so busy crazy, no time to think, have a pee let alone eat or have a break. we had so many labour patients that we had to close the unit and not accept any more patients.

So I went about my work and delivered my patient all went well. Then I sat down for a few mins and I told another nurse I would watch her pt so she could go eat something (its now 3am) Then I hear this blood curtling scream from the far end of the hall. I think I better go see whats going on... I go to the room and there is a women in labour (natural labour) thrashing abd kicking and screaming. So seeing as there was noone there I thought oh the nurse must just be out of the room I will just stay there till someone comes.... 1 hour passes and Im swaeating and trying to keep the pt in the bed while she screams in my face. It was like being part of an exercisom she basically screamed the baby out... and perhaps some unpleasant poo poo in my general direction! SO finally after all the work was done baby born etc etc the nurse shows up and was like oh I did not know you were here. Im like yeah I was exorcising your patient for you.

Anyway I have to say that morning I was less sad about the resignation. Im sure there will be mixed emotions in the weeks to come but Im gonna do my best to adjust and enjoy my new start.
