Practical Placement at Brightwater 'The Village'

Went for Prac in Brightwater, the awesome place with awesome carer, RN, EN, Kitchen staff and friends. It is dementia specific nursing home. Start prac on the 29 November 2010 until 10 December 2010. Dimas, Sam, Sammy, Candice, Jade, Emmanuel, Madison and Jessica went for prac at the same place
Everything was well planed by God. I received the email 5 days before my prac that I can go out on prac. The most worrying thing is how to get there. Suprisingly, Perveen going back to malaysia for 2 weeks as well from 28 Nov until 9 Dec. She left her car with me and I drove to prac. First day start at 8am and we walk around the place, introduce to staff and talk to the residents. Second day onwards, I pick up candice, Jade and Emmanuel at Murdoch train st and drop them off as well.
I learned so much in prac. Showered residents, feeding and help in ADLs. During the whole prac, I was very stressful because we need to be assess on BP, Showering, feeding, BGL. And we have lotsa paper work to do, objectives and reflections. I love the residents there. They are so funny, cute and lovely. I work in Ellenbrook house and suprisingly, Jilian went to the same place for prac and in the same house as me. There is one resident, Marjorie who thinks that her roomate, Beryl is her grandma and sometimes mother in law. That was funny. Otto with his black coffee with no sugar. Brendain with his 'please'. James Kenneth with his 'wait a minute'. Frank with his cute look. Dinah who will kiss you and say 'I like you' when you do something that she likes. Beryl with her 'yes'. Bert Power who sleep all the time with cancer on the stomach. One resident from fiztroy always says 'I DON't KNOW' and will sing 'you are my sunshine' with you.
I went to visit the residents last week with Perveen and Jilian. I bought a box of chocolate for them.
