THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING TO ME!!!

Incidentally, RLA and I were just talking about INCIDENT REPORTS last friday afternoon while we were in the bus terminal, which Ive heard before but I was really clueless about.

Incident Reports (IR)  is a list of different Nursing Students who made violations while on duty. Things from serious matters like administering a wrong drug that caused death or worsen a patient's condition, divulging confidential information, having an affair with a patient, to simple ones like wearing your scrub suit outside the hospital (it might get some contaminations), being noisy or disrespect to doctors aqnd other medical personnels are among the things that may put someone in the list. One IR means three make up duties and of course some grade deductions.

I heard a rumor about a group last year who had a night shift in a private hospital. Three of them, I think, went inside an empty room at the third floor. They scared each other causing one of then to scream. The noise was heard all the way down the first floor. The staff nurses were really angry. The whole group was given an IR.

Another story (as told by my prof in Pediatrics) again happened in that said hospital. A patient died because a group of student nurses blocked the elevator while taking pictures of themselves. They were suspended and was put in the list.

So what happened?

When we were dismissed and told to change from our Scrub suits to our white uniforms, which we only wear outside the hospital while we were on duty at the delivery room, NFA sang the Pokemon theme song...

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST,

LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS,

TO CATCH THEN AS MY REAL QUEST.....

in a very loud voice.

He was singing really loud and hearty that's why HB, AxA and I joined in. We sang on top of our voices like no one was with us while we were changing in the Nightingale hall just behind the OB ward.

Our raucous singing did not stop when we finished Pokemon, we started singing different anime theme songs like "blue blink", "BT X", (these were old animes in ABS CBN that were translated to Filipino) and many more. Until a staff nurse came to us and told us to shut up. We thought that that would be the end, but we didnt know that we made so much noise that we irritated even the doctors.

A paper was given to us instructing alll those people, including some that we didnt know who were inside the hall, should give their names.

All other groups listed their names except our group.

They were scolded by the nurses because of our fault. So they all pinpointed our group. "yung mga nasa Delivery room po yung maingay." (those that were stationed in the delivery room were the noisy ones) I heard a girl from the Nusery complained.

After we had signed out, NFA, HB, and I parted our ways to our respective destination (NFA rode in a local bus, HB used the school bus, while I went to the hi way and waited for a Genesis bus).

The next day, Saturday, I was not able to review for the coming evaluation exam since i was really thinking about what happened.

when i went in the hospital, everyone was talking about it.

I could not look straight at my Clinical instructor's eyes because of guilt. After a whole day of reviewing while some of my groupmates took their turns inside the delivery room, our teacher beckoned us to go to school and have our exam there. After the exam, she told us that the doctors reported us to the College of Nursing and Midwifery's faculty and they will have a meeting on the appropriate punishment  to give us.

She also said that theyre going to think if it will only us four or itll be the whole group who will be punished.

I was so guilty.

When my CI dismissed us, I went silently to her and told her i am sorry, (".")maam sorry po

I dont know what will happen to us.... Please pray for us.
