WHY WE PRACTICE NURSING
WHY WE PRACTICE NURSING.
Nursing is caring and love. Because of current situation of thing, a lot of people misunderstood Nursing and think it is a place to make money but we are in it and we KNOW what we do, even when you singed off from duty and there is an announcement “cold blue” we still jump in to save that life, we never say I have already sign out because we are there to save life that’s our call. I developed interest in Nursing as little as of age 8yrs from assisting my father to get herbs to treat the sick, even when my father will say ‘IDONT HAVE TIME, I HAVE TO GO TO FARM TO CULTIVATE YAM BUT MY MOM AND I WILL SAY JUST ACCEPT TO TREAT THEM, we WILL GO TO THE BUSH TO GET THE HERBS AND LEAVES”
There was I time that I was chest unit Manager in my country, that’s the time I realize that almost all the relapse cases is due lack of knowledge of their disease condition, the doctor will come and write order but they were never there to direct them, the nurses are always there, give all education that they needed yet the Doctor’s tell you “YOUR JUST A NURSE WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION MY ORDER” but is some of them, most of them know what you are.
I heard it so many times from a medical director from my previous job but what it does to me is to give me more courage to further my education. One of them told me one time to give Vancomycin even when I was telling him that the result on picc line placement from the radiologist is confusing that I don’t think it is in the right place but he insisted that I must give the vancomycin, it took us 8 good hours before he came back to his senses and called me back telling me please don’t give the injection, call the radiology department tomorrow to come back in the morning to recheck it and behold it was not in place. We should not feel bad when we hear this or let inferiority complex take over us instead it make us to grow stronger, do more research and read more, believe me our patients know us. It pains me more when our
