| nurse. many would ask, of all occupation why a nurse? seriously im having doubts myself all this while. firstly, its like there's shift work. that's very very bad to start with cause its very not flexible. and you got to wake up early in the morning say 5am if you're on morn shift? imagine yourself being in a low mood. not wanting to do anything. or say, have been emotionally hurt. or maybe something bad happens to your/family/friends. but yet a nurse job is to still bring a smile to work despite all. appear to be all so nice when deep down, you are hurt in some way. that's why things got to come from the heart. its more of, patients first, you yourself second. but as humans, how many can do that? i mean we definately are selfish at times in life. during this last phase of attachment. i though everything was much more difficult that before. you're more on your own. you are expect to make lesser or no mistakes cause you are a year 3. people expect you to be a know-it-all. but dont everyone makes mistake? many quitted. from a cohort of 170plus to 150plus. people are still leaving. and many claim not wanting to be a nurse when they graduate. its super wasted. especially when its coming to the end of 3 years. but i totally understand how it feels. what we are exactly going through. especially to be in the same hospital, under the same clinical facilitator. its a period of time where how much everyone feels like giving up. some left, some hang on. how tiring it can be after a day at work. how much we wanted encouragement and not scoldings or lectures. how much we wanted just some understanding. some words of comfort. we are fragile human beings too. and that's just simple things that we hope for, isnt it missy out there? if not for the bond that im holding on to right now. i totally got no guarantee that i might still stay put in nursing. its a ultra-ly challenging job. one that test your patience, your character, your everything. im not giving up. cause i know at the end of the day, its the love and care that we share that touches all. it definately is tough. but when the going gets tough, the tough gets going, isnt it? and i i would say nursing chnages my way in seeing life. how thinkings change from a young little girl to what i am now. and i know all this while, im not alone. NP pionner batch of nurses, lets work hard together. (: CHEERIOS. i dont know why this post. but yah. just came to my mind. |
