Tweet

There are certain things, that i would like to share being a nurse ( for those who are keen or interested in Nursing as a medical health line ) Firstly, foremost, i live in Singapore, A country that also has Nursing a demanding job , but it also practices differently in different hospital settings and also different countries setting too, So it may or may not be the same as what you expect but there are common things that can be found in them, I Practice nursing course by starting off as a student nurse, i've graduated recently under NITEC in Nursing In Singapore College which is the Institution Of Technical Education, as a student Nurse, i've went through hell with the lecturers that practices Nursing the old style, back in the olden days 1980's in Singapore, Not many people loved to interact with Nurses as they have the beliefs that Nurses are fierce care takers in the hospital settings, none dared to approach, So these lecturers of mine gave me a good scrub in my brain on health medical as a nurse, Over the past 2 years, after multiple number of times being sent to attachments, i've received and gain knowledge of nursing and what to expect in nursing line in Singapore. There are couple of thing one must understand when it comes to joining nursing, like it or not, if the patient is dependent, be ready to clean their droppings, yes, start getting used to the normal Aroma scent of droppings. :) You must also handle with Blood, almost everyday, depends entirely on which ward or level or position your posted to. Understand that certain patients, tend to be demanding, BUT you must still learn to have patience, and be able to adapt to this everyday. Speaking of Everyday, you must also learn to start getting your body to work at an endless hours of tiredness, injuries and deaths occurs always, no such thing as a weekend off from such incidences(but of course you will have a off day too), If your posted to long stay wards, you may tend to build rapport with your patients and seeing them ready to be discharge or passed on with life due to age or whatever reasons can be a sad moment for you, as based upon my practice in Nursing, A nurse should not cry infront of patient's relative should the patient pass on or express ones sadness towards the patient, instead to be referred to the doctors or somewhat that way. :) You may also need to bare with working with colleagues who are not perform well like a team player, unhappiness tend to arise should there be in situation whereby your rushing for time in between tending to patients There are other pros and cons as well, fellow medical professions, whenever possible, try to help update through discussion response. :) my hands are tired.
