King Fahad Military Hospital (Armed Forces Hospital - Southern Region)

Hi readers and searchers..

This is a review/feedback regarding Emergency Room Department in King Fahad Military Hospital in Khamis Mushayt. It's a one of the Armed Forces Hospital in Southern Region. I was working there for more than 1 year)2013 to 2015 as a Nurse and was assigned in Emergency Room Department. Well believe me it's not what I expected when I was in my country(Philippines). Emergency Room Department has 4 different area; ER (Male Patients, ER (Female Patients), Pediatric ER, and Cardiac+Truama Cases. All those area has different Rooms.

Male ER has 14 Bed capacity with 2 to 3 Nurses on duty per shift

Female ER has 12 Bed Capacity with 2 to 3 Nurses on duty per shift

Pediatric ER has 10 Capacity (not sure the exact # as male nurses can't be assigned there) 2 to 3 Nurses duty per shift

Cardiac or Trauma ER has 8 to 10 capacity with 3 to 5 Nurses per shift including the Charge Nurse.

Emergency Room Department in King Fahad Military Hospital is the Busiest (Toxic) area in the hospital.

Only holiday season that the Emergency Room is less crowded but the regular days believe me it's a disaster. From the minute after you receive the previous shift you will no longer have time to warm your ass in a chair as the patient is non stop. You can't even have a 5 minutes time to talk with your colleague as all of you are busy. The only time you can sit is when you take your morning break 15 minutes and on your Lunch Break 45 to 1 hour but believe me even you wanted to consume all the break time you still can't as you have no time to relax at all because of the work load you need to finish. Documentation, procedures, admission, medications and new physician orders needs to carry out but you can adjust and get used of it soon that even you have a over loaded work you can still manage to complete it and anyway you can endorse it to the next shift if you cannot complete it in your shift. 

There is also a cases where patients stayed in Emergency Room for more than 24 hours and sometimes, weeks, and a month. This are the patients who are for admissions but there's no vacant Bed or Room in ICU or Wards. Yes!! we do handle ICU or CCU cases in Emergency Room. We call it Pending patients and we call ourselves as pending nurses also. Means we are the one responsible to handle those patients. It's like 1 Nurse and 4 patients sometimes 5 patients. I have handled 3 Bed ridden patients with huge and multiple bedsores and 2 ambulatory patients in one shift, DKA, MI, CKD, etc.. All different cases I think I have already handled it. The hardest part is we are the one who will clean the patient's ass if they pass stools or their diapers are full of urine. On Night shift it's a routine to do Morning Care on those pending patients. You clean their ass, change diaper, change the bed sheets, and sometimes you do bed bath to them(if you have plenty of time). You will extract bloods for routine blood investigations and yes you will be having a excellent skills in inserting IV cannula as most of the patients are geriatric. Believe me even in the the thumbs, fingers or foots of the patient you can insert IV Cannula just to extract blood. But be very careful and always get someone to be your witness or seniors in doing some invasive procedures such as Foley's catheter, NGT, NGT Feeding, medications etc. 

SUMMARY:

Experience = Excellent!!!

Workload = Too much(Exhausting)

# of hours per shift = 12 Hours

Salary = 5,540 sar(Fair)

Benefits = Free medical service, Annual Air Ticket, Housing, and transporation
Peers = Depends if you are on weak side or strong side. (Strong means you work so hard and you help your colleagues, Weak means you only do your own job and you don't help your colleagues in other areas). That means if you help them they will help you also. Did you get what I mean? hehe.. Try to be helpful and you will be recognized by your colleague and it will give you a good peer relationship.

Location = Weather is not that hot unlike other parts of the Kingdom. If cold season that means extreme cold weather.. less than 20ºc sometimes 4 to 6ºc temp in khamis Mushayt.

Hospital = They have a lot of Filipino staffs there.. you will not feel away from our country. 

Patients and PT's Relatives = expect the unexpected. Some of them are nice both Educated and non educated. But most of them are rude and they will verbally abuse you. So be strong and don't fight with them as you will just make yourself in trouble. If they are abusing you just inform your Charge Nurse so he/she can deal with them. 

Update: as of 2017

1. The renovation of the Emergency Room Department was completed. The workload base on my former colleague there that the pending patients ratio has increased to 1:7 nurse. I don't know if that is true. if it's true then God bless to the nurses being assigned in Pending patients.

2. Most of the Senior staffs have already left (resigned/end of contract).

3. New Head Nurse

HOW TO REMOVE SMALL GALLSTONES NATURALLY

CLEAN UP YOUR GALLBLADDER

with

Green Leafy Vegetables and a natural Apple Juice

     

Let me share you my personal experience about Gallstones. One day I suffered an abdominal pain that feels dull or sharp in my right upper quadrant after eating a meal “Tapsilog”. It was an 8/10 pain score that knocks me out. And the only way to relive the pain is to sleep since I don’t like to take medications (Pain killers) to relieve a pain. During the first attack I disregarded it and consider that it was just a typical abdominal pain. But it catches my attention when I experienced it again for the 2ndtime after I ate again a “Tapsilog” and I noticed the dye of my stool is pale like clay. You wonder what is “Tapsilog”? Here is it…

I applied my Nursing knowledge and start searching what could be the disease or cause of the pain and it gave me Cholelithiasis. Well I started making medical diagnosis on my own base on the sign and symptoms I am experiencing without consulting into a physician because I'm afraid. (That’s what most of the nurses do… making our own medical diagnosis). :D

I focused on “my own” medical diagnosis Cholelithiasis and dig more what might be the cause. Gallstones development is eating fatty and greasy foods habitually. Perhaps I have those gallstones since long time and it aggravates when I consume fatty and oily foods. Moreover, I seek for a cure and it gave me more on medical side treatment (Medications and surgical operation). For medications I totally rejected to choose that because I don’t want to be dependent of taking medications. Furthermore, I start digging more about the Surgical Operation. I read some journals who had undergo a Cholecystectomy and the results was not good and I’m totally freaking up because I don’t want to undergo Surgical operation. Then I started again searching in internet for a home remedy for Cholelithiasis and gave me some journals of people sharing their experience and knowledge how they treat it. I have read some that a very effective way to clean your gallbladder from gallstones is to take Olive oil and an apple juice until you “shit” all the gallstones out. Well… Apple juice yes I can drink it but to drink Olive oil?? No way! So I tried to find an alternate for Olive oil and it pop up in my mind to replace it with green leafy vegetables specially okra.

I totally skipped eating fatty and oily foods and started eating green leafy vegetables and drinking apple juice for breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for 7 days. After 3-5 Days I have never felt a pain and one day Alhamdulillah! I pooped lots of rounded shape like a grain of sand. I guess those are the gallstones. The following days, my stool turned back to its normal color and the pain was totally gone and went back to my regular meals.

I would recommend you guys to try it by yourself and see the results and make it a habit to clean your gallbladder. ^_~

Destined to be Partners

♥ Mikzimim ♥

A year after my 5 years relationship girlfriend ended, I have decided to start searching a girl that I want to spend my whole remaining life with. I have met many and attempt some but unfortunately it doesn't work because I grew from a Non-Islamic places from 2nd yr High School up to College. I am a very observant man and I used to feel and study the characters of the people I mingle with. I have tried courting some but unfortunately it didn't worked. Anyway let me start the story in the first day I saw her. 

Orientation Day

I saw her during our RN Heals Orientation in Mindanao State University. During the second Day I noticed this one girl staring to us. I thought I am the one she's staring and it made me curious about it. I started thinking that maybe she likes me??.. hahaha... For the whole duration of the Orientation on that day my eyes keeps on pause to her every time she enter's in my sight. Then the orientation ended with the announcing of the groups that will be assigned in different Municipalities. So I was thinking maybe we will be groupmate.. But unfortunately, we're not in same group.

First Day of Duty

We deployed in Rural Health Unit in Municipality of Bubong, Lanao del sur, there was an event in one of "barangay" there and the staff of the Health Center went there and the Head of the Center told us to wait for our doctor because she's on her way and she will fetching us. So we waited along with my group mates. A half and hour past, Our doctor arrived with her Car and I was standing outside RHU and I noticed that there's a two Nurse inside her car... and guess who??? One of  them was her (The girl I saw during our Orientation). We mounted to the Car and went to the Barangay.

Barangay Moment

We arrived in the said Bario and entered to the Room where they're conducting a lecture to the Community. Then here we go again we stare each other most of the time but we didn't have the chance to chat personally during that day. Then I started thinking again that she likes me.. hahaha So after that event we went home and we ride a Pickup type Multicab and while on our way home our groupmates chatting and laughing and I noticed she's just smiling with shy.. But seriously speaking we still stare each other.. We don't chat but I feel like every time our eyes catch each other we are communicating. She got my attention.. Moreover, unexpectedly we are in the same street address. Our house and her house is just a less than 50 meters away.

Sub-Groupings per Bario (The beginning of our being Partner)

We are in Rural Health Center during this day and we had our first meeting with the RHU Staffs. We're divided into 4 sub groups.. I was hoping that we will be in a same Sub-Group but unfortunately, again we are in different subgroup. So our work started already.. we only see each other in RHU before going to our assigned barios and after the end of the workday. Then one day she asked permission to our Head that she will be going to Manila to attend the wedding of her Uncle. She was gone for 1 month, and when she came back it was a perfect timing because my groupmate resigned and I don't have a groupmate so our Head decided to regroup again and luckily.... She became my groupmate. ^_^ I was so happy that time because I have the chance now to know her very well... So the work resumed again and I was inspired to go to work daily because I want to be with her everyday. I liked her because she's dedicated to what she's doing(Work). She's a cowgirl that go with the flow.. Doesn't think about the dirt, the heat of the sun, the smell of the people we are caring visiting for, the long walk we are travelling to different barios. Because of what I saw from her? That's the time I started to fall to her.. Then we started calling each other as "Partner".. From that day I always fetch her in their house and we travel together. She's not aware that I am doing that because I want to meet her family and I want them to see me. She's not aware that it is my way to court her parents/family so that I can get a permit to be with her every duty days even they will see us walking together in the streets.

Sleep over to our Head Nurse House

Our Head Nurse invited all of us to sleep in their house and guess what again? Me and her only who accepted the invitation. We are on our way to our Head nurse house after our rounds in our Barios. It was raining that time and we are so wet because even we have umbrella the wind is too strong and the umbrella was totally useless. We share 1 umbrella so we walk together for almost an hour with our Guide and Midwife going to the house of our head nurse it was cold and I knew she feels cold too. I started chatting to her with some nonsense topics just to make her comfortable... Our conversation last until we didn't noticed that we arrived in the House of our Head Nurse. 

Unexplained Feelings

We are in the living room along with the family of our head nurse. We're having some conversation... asking each others personal background like family, siblings, school, life before, etc... I really feel comfortable to her and from that moment I have told to my self that maybe she's the one I'm looking for. After a long hours of chatting we felt sleepy and started to saying Good night each other. I went to my room but unfortunately I can't sleep because I'm thinking of her... "Damn!.. this feeling... " I was thinking if she felt the same what I felt too.

Declaration of Feelings(Love)

Days past by and my feelings towards her have grown.. One night we are communicating through Text message.. It was a long hours we are changing messages until I started to text her about what I feel to her.. To make it short I confessed what I really feel to her and I was surprised because she has a special feelings also for me. The following day we accidentally met in our street and she was with her Aunt and the only words came out to our mouth is "Hi" with smile because we felt awkward each other. Until the time we declared our love each other and made and oath that we will not give up and we will make our relationship last forever. ^_^ ♥

Present Time

We are now 3 years and 3 Months being together and going stronger. We are now both working here in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a Nurse. She's working in Makkah and I'm in Khamis Mushayt. Our love never fade and it keeps on growing. Oh by the way I asked her about the day during our Orientation if she was staring at me.. unfortunately, it was not me but it was my buddy because according to her she met my buddy before and it's her crush. -_- LoL... Anyway, God really destined us.. because from the first place she was supposed to be in other Municipality but she was transferred to our Municipality. She was supposedly in other subgroup but we then became partner. 

If there's a Male Version of her that would be me.

If there's a Female Version of me that would be her.

Because we have almost the same character, likes, dislikes, etc.. ^_^ ♥

What is our Secret that makes our relationship stronger and our love grows?

1. God

2. Trust

3. Loyalty

4. Honesty

5. Faithful

UPDATE: February 16, 2016

Guess what???!! 
We are now Husband and Wife! ♥ We get married last Sept 2, 2015.. 

“ROTONDA”

Every time I’m passing this road in Quezon Avenue and see this Rotonda going to West Avenue.. It reminds me of those wonderful days. This was the last place where I was with my best buddies in Carl Balita. I was aspiring to be a Registered Nurse at that time and I was enrolled in Carl Balita Review Center. I met a group of people(Maranao) same tribe as me. I was a stranger to them because they came from One University (Mindanao State University) located in our hometown (Marawi City). Honestly speaking I don’t like to mingle with my same tribe because I’m hiding my identity to avoid some tribal discrimination. I  have experienced some Tribal discrimination during my High school and college days. Well let’s skip that story.. So I observed their behavior first and days or maybe a week passed it seems they were different from what I have expected. They’re very joyful and Jolly, their bond is extremely contagious that some of our Non-Maranao review mates are attracted to them. I feel lonely at that time so I gave myself a chance to know them and join their company. I was really amazed to them. I felt addictive that I wanted to be with them always and never miss even a single bonding session with them. So let me shorten the story and focus to this Rotonda.. lol..  During our 10 Days final coaching, it was held in a (Church)Crossroads. So every time our final coaching is end, we always standby in this Rotonda and have some chat and do some picture2x while waiting for a Public Vehicles(Jeep/Bus). The funny thing there is that spot is not a LOADING/UNLOADING area.. LoL... Pasaway talga.. Mabuti nalang walang sumita samin.. ^__^ Well I miss them actually.. I Miss you guys.. :D Allah Bless you all and may you be what you wanted to be. Salam...

My College Life (Student Nurse)

1st Year! (2004~2005) The Year of Chicken study!

During my 1st week in Liceo de Cagayan University I was kind a noiseless and I only speak to my sit mate. Just think of it all of us came from different provinces like Bukidnon, Butuan, Camiguin, Ozamis, Zamboanga, Lanao del Norte, etc. As days, weeks, and months past I start gaining my confidence and being a chunky face. We are all in identical block section so all of our subject’s schedules are similar.

Throughout this 1^st year of my nursing student career, I had a huge modification in my learning habit. Way back in my High School life I definitely don’t study that much. I barely review my notes and I study only a day before the examination day. Now, I really need to read my notes every night because Nursing is a hard course and a very expensive course. At first I don’t like this course but I learned to love it every time I gain achievements in my subjects.

Oh! One thing I forgot… I also play online games and I spend most of my vacant time playing. But still I can pass in my subjects because they are all Minor subjects… I usually say to my minor subjects “Chicken…” – Easy to pass... LoL… (Arrogant)

In summary, I’m doing good in my academic even I play online games... LoL…

2^nd Year! (2005~2006) The Year of hard working and success!

I was very happy this time because I passed the 1^st level with a good grades (1.4 ~ 2.2) but in the other hand I can feel the pressure in this level. This time I’m enrolled with full unit so every weekdays I go to school 6am and go home @ 9pm on the same day for 5 days. Just imagine how hectic was my schedule does. In addition, I have a lot of subjects to review. Lectures and Skills, I focused more to my skills because it was more on memorization of procedures word by word. My level this time is called NCM501200, we have some duty in hospitals but our task there was to get the Vital Signs of the patients only. My brain is starting to bend more and more and at the same time I’m loosing weight too. My cheek bones are visible like a drug user and my waistline was down to 25… even me I can feel my self that I’m too light… Can you imagine that?! LoL…

This year also I joined the Liceo Theater Performing Arts (LITPA)… I experience how to perform in a theater in front of the public… We had this very cool Filipino stage play titled “DALAGANG BUKID” directed by Hobart Savior. I’m one of the casts there but not the main cast… LoL… We usually sing, dance and act to entertain our audience… I really had a great experience in this group…

In academic, I have this 2 subjects that I really need to strive hard to pass… care to ask? Anatomy and Biology… Every time that we have a quiz I get a deteriorating grade but sometimes I get fair grade. One day we had a Long quiz in Biology(70 items).. Dude! I almost cried because I can’t answer even a single question! I reviewed my notes last night but I couldn't remember anything… Mental Blocked?! Yeah maybe!.. My best friend is sitting in my left… He looked in my paper and he looked at me…I saw his facial expression that (Wondering why my answer sheet is clean). He asked me in a silent way “Bro, what’s wrong? Why are you not answering”… I told him what I feel and he felt pity and he offered me his answers… “Here bro copy my answers”, but I refused instead I gave my papers to our professor and said… “I’m sorry ma’am, I've read my notes last night but I really can’t remember anything today” (My Eyes starts clouding with tears)… Then she said “I’ll give you a special quiz next meeting so make sure that on that day you’re prepared.”… I was really in trouble at this time because I can really sense that I’ll fail in those subjects… I temporarily stopped playing online games and I use my vacant time for studying Anatomy and Biology… Well in the end.. In God’s mercy I passed the subjects… lol.. 

We graduated as Associate in Health and Science Education (AHSE)… This is the sign that we are now stepping to the proper nursing career…

3^rd Year! (2006~2007) The Appreciation of Life and the Year of my 1st failure!

I can say this is it! At last I can now wear a full white clinical uniform. In this level (NCM501201) we will have our capping and budging ceremony to be officially welcome us to the proper nursing career and to have a title of a Student Nurse. We're now ready to be exposed to the real hospital settings. Our first exposure is Delivery Room. It was a very unforgettable experience when I had my 1^st case for a mother giving birth to his 1^st baby. I appreciate my mother when she delivered her baby boy alive. My felt like my heart is melting because it is not easy for a woman to give birth. When they start laboring their life is in danger like 50-50. Some of them may die after giving a birth or in the other hand the infant dies, worst case is both mother and infant dies. I was the one who perform the New Born Care, I gave him the 1^st bath in general I was the 1^st one who gave a care to her baby. That specific moment I appreciated life. After that I called my mother and shared my experience and I was thanking her for everything for delivering me alive and healthy.

In Academic, I failed in lecture subject NCM501201 (Maternal and Child Health Nursing). I really can’t understand or relate to those topics because almost of the topics are dealing with woman nature. So I don’t have that urge to learn the topics. In stead I play online games most of my vacant time. I have a girlfriend already that time and we’re classmate. Every time we’re having a quiz she wanted me to copy her answers but I refused because I really don’t copy/cheat. I preferred to be failed rather than pass by cheating. So in the end.. I failed, so I have to re-enroll this subject in 2^nd semester. I enrolled that subject again in 2^nd semester. I have 2 subjects only Maternal and Nursing Research. I go to school twice a week only Monday Maternal and Tuesday Research. The rest of the day I PLAY ONLINE GAMES!.. Yeah baby!!!.. LoL..

4^th Year! (2007~2008) The Regrets!

Most of my batch mates including my ex-Girl friend are candidates for graduation this coming march 2008. That’s the time I start regretting. I realize that I failed because I give time for my own pleasure like playing Online Games. Now I modified myself, I slowly stop playing computer, I start studying hard and in God’s mercy I passed the level of NCM501202 in 1^st Semester of this year and also NCM501203 in 2^nd semester the same Year.

Month of March! The graduation day of my batch including my Ex-GF… My Ex-GF invited me that time to attend her graduation but I never come. Instead I went home to our province to escape the sadness and regrets. But still I was deeply sad and lonely. I regret for not doing my best in my studies from the 1st place. If I had done my best maybe I was there too wearing Toga, and receiving my Diploma with my real batch(2008). Well that’s life!... We are the one who’s making our own future. Sabi nga nila “Ang pag sisisi ay nasa bandang huli!”…

5^th Year! (2008~ 2009) Another Failure and another Chance!

1^st Semester in this Year I enrolled NCM501204. I completely stopped playing online games already, I studied hard and I used my vacant time for my academic. Unfortunately, I failed in one subject Medical and Surgical-2… It was really a hard subjects for me, the disease are all complicated that I was having some difficulties to comprehend. My Father is so mad at me and he wanted me to discontinue my career as a Student Nurse because I’m not doing my best. So I packed all my things and went home to our province. I was kind a depressed because I want to finish my course because only 1 semester is left. I started hating my father that time because I can’t feel his care. His trust and patience melt down so every time I make some mistake even it’s minor mistake he will scold at me and keep on telling me that I’m a stupid that’s why I failed in my subjects. Dude!.. that’s really hurt!... I always heard painful foul words that aggravate my depression. One day I suddenly think that I should commit suicide to end everything. Ooops! Stop!.. It was just a plan anyway! LoL… As the enrollment for the 2^nd semester approaches, my loving mother talked to me and she said they had a conversation with my father last night. They want me to give a another chance. My happiness can’t be described that time!... She then said " you start packing your things tonight so you can go back to Cagayan de Oro tomorrow and enroll for this 2nd semester".

I re-enrolled again the subject I failed during the 1^st Semester. Just like before I only have 1 subject at this time. NCM501204. Believe me or not I gave it all in my study. Every day I’m excited to go to university. I always got passing grades in our quizzes, exams, and oral recitations. I can say I’m better than last semester in my study. In God’s mercy again I passed.

6^th Year! (2009) My Student Nurse career Ends! GRADUATION DAY!

1^st Semester I enrolled NCM501205 the hardest and final level of my Nursing Student Career. I talked to my father and mother before I enrolled my self in this level. I told them that I can’t promise to pass in this level. But I guarantee you that I will do my very best of my best of my best to pass in this level. This is the most stressful in my whole nursing life. No time to have fun, no time for outdoors activity, no time for playing online games. LoL… I even rarely visit my social networking sites. Too much work to do in this level… PONR, CASE STUDY PRESENTATION, COMMUNITY NURSING, HOSPITAL DUTY, COMPLETION of OR and DR CASES, PROJECTS, LECTURES, and etc….

The Day of Judgment! We are all waiting for the list of candidates for Graduation. The grades are still on process… We heard some rumors that only few can graduate… Our over all class president conducted a meeting to us… We all signed in a paper to demand to our dean to increase the candidates by making adjustments in our grades… The picture is just like we’re having a rally in the hallway of Nursing Department… We waited for numbers of hours… At 4:30pm the door of Nursing Department opened and the professors went outside and bringing some papers. They announced to us verbally that they are assigned to every section to give the grades… So everyone was shouting, some are afraid, some are laughing, and some are quite.

We are 12 sections in total, so 12 different rooms and each room 1 section… That moment the surrounding is very quite… you can’t hear any noise  Everyone was silent and praying… And they start calling us 1 by 1 alphabetically… The silent suddenly disturbed! We can hear from other rooms that some of the students Joyfully shouting!.. “Yes! Thank you Lord! Pasado ako! Wooooh!.....” suddenly one of my classmate shouted also and saying that words too!.. Holly Cow!.. Lahat kami kinabahan at medjo excited!... when my family name was called… before I stand I closed my eyes and start praying silently this “Bismillahirah, Ya’Allah kung ano man po etong lalabas na result na makukuha ko yun po ay ang kagustuhan mo. Sana bigyan mo po ako ng lakas ng loob para kayanin kung sakaling hindi ako pumasa”. And I started approaching toward to my Professor. And she showed me my grades! Then in the last part it was written there “PASSED”… I was jumping like a grade school boy with joy and I hugged my professor tightly saying “Thank you ma’am” my tears suddenly dropped.. I couldn't stop it!,,, I signed the grading sheet with my signature  My eyes is clouding with tears of joy!. I was just really happy at that time and the first thing I did was to call my mother and father. My mouth was shaking that I couldn't talk properly.

My mother keep on asking me what happen? Why are you crying? She thought I failed again!.. LoL… So I kept on saying “Pumasa ako mamang!... Graduate na ako!....” Then the tone of my mother’s voice was changed. She cried also after hearing that news!... Then I called my father still he can’t understand what I was telling to him. Then he said “Ah na Alhamdulillah!.. Sunat ka panalamat ka ko Allah(S.W.T)” in English: “Thank God! You should pray a sunna and thank God for that blessing”…
