00:00So today we will be just following you around, having a look at what your day is like and
00:12we will just be flies on the wall watching the extraordinary work you do as a nurse.
00:16So have you been long in the UAE like?
00:20Actually I did my schooling and all in court modeling, then I did my graduation from Bangalore.
00:25I started my career with Narayana Hridayalaya Hospital, then I moved to Saudi Arabia.
00:31After that I got married, then I moved to Dubai, then I joined in Astor in 2018.
00:39Usually my day starts before, like it starts 5 in the morning and I used to get up for
00:46the work around 6.15 like that, meanwhile I need to finish all this household work.
00:53Earlier it was easy because it was just me and my husband, now the routine has changed,
00:58I need to prioritize my son.
01:02Right now my mom came for the vacation, so now she is taking care of everything.
01:07So I am just getting up and I am just going for the duty.
01:11Which is nice to have, especially I am guessing that during this COVID-19 time you are having
01:17a lot of busy days and extra taking care, so it must be nice to have some help also
01:23from your family.
01:24Yes.
01:25Good morning.
01:26Good morning.
01:27How many patients?
01:28Eight patients total.
01:29Eight patients.
01:30How many pediatric here?
01:31All pediatric patients?
01:32No, no.
01:33Three adults are there.
01:34Three adults.
01:35No other complaints?
01:36No, no.
01:37So this is the pediatric ward?
01:38Okay.
01:39From 5.01 to 5.14, pediatric ward.
01:40Then after that…
01:41I will be taking the handover from both sides, night shift and morning shift I will meet.
01:59Okay.
02:00So I can just…
02:01So that you can…
02:02If any comments, anything, I can just tell them or any instructions also I can give.
02:08Okay.
02:09Night duty, morning duty?
02:10No, no.
02:11We got an information that we have to take ECG for all the patients who is going for
02:12surgery.
02:13I will just…
02:14Don't consider the age, like 35, not about 35 or 40.
02:15You have to take for all the patients.
02:16Okay.
02:17We will check the crash cart daily basis.
02:18Okay.
02:19We have crash cart for emergency purpose.
02:20Okay.
02:21We need to make sure that everything is ready.
02:22Ready.
02:39Thank you very much.
02:44Usually when I come in the morning I'll check all the equipment, any code we're missing,
02:46all everything is properly placed.
02:48Because they'll, definitely they'll take care right?
02:52I will cross check also because it's all are costly equipment.
02:56So I don't want any…
02:58So do you have numbers of house?
02:59Who have asset number?
03:00There is a checklist also.
03:01Okay.
03:02Every staff will check in the morning.
03:03And then you cross-check, okay.
03:04Yeah, because especially the equipment is no, maybe.
03:05They cannot see you also right?
03:08misplaced or power cord missing and I have to make sure that it is properly working in condition
03:17because if any emergency comes that time we cannot see anything, maybe bad trailers or anything.
03:22This is like a medication room?
03:24This is our medication room and here we prepare all the medications.
03:27Okay.
03:28So it has been closed always, we all have access to come inside.

03:57So as part of the COVID protocol, what are the extra steps that you take in the maternity ward?
04:05Right now we are not entertaining any visitors.
04:09Okay.
04:10And old people, they can stay in the home itself.
04:12Okay.
04:13And always we have to do the hand washing and sanitizing before taking the baby.
04:18Yeah.
04:19And we will always cover up the baby, that's all.
04:22And baby will be taking the breast feed.
04:25Okay.
04:26So what if one of the mothers has or has tested for positive?
04:31Yeah.
04:32When she comes in for delivery?
04:33Yeah, if the mother is positive means they will be admitted in the 6th floor only.
04:39Okay.
04:40And baby we will be taking care here in the floor.
04:42So you will separate the baby?
04:43Yeah, but some bystander or the baby's next king will be there with the baby.
04:47Okay.
04:48So they can be with the baby and the expressed breast feed also we can give.
04:51Okay.
04:52So and we will be taking care of the baby.
