Chapter 1.My Path
Why am I in nursing? I believe I said that the reason that I’m here is to build my passion and also because I did badly for my Olevels. I didn’t like my course, not at all. But because I have taken this road, this is what it brings.
I was at Genting for my holidays and I didn’t want to come back to Singapore, one of the reason be it attachment. Maybe also because I didn’t think I enjoyed enough. Anyway I did returned, but on one day late issue. I didn’t care less about it thinking that all I have to do is just a makeup on a Saturday which will eventually spoil my Christmas night celebration. Reaching Singapore, I still found it worthwhile as I did enjoyed my days at Genting, thinking that the one day replacement is worth it. But on the first day of attachment, or rather MY FIRST DAY I was having lots of trouble with the people there. Getting many lectures, even had my first bad record, and spoilt my image, have a counseling letter and a call telling my father about the incident. I didn’t think it was my fault at all at that time, but there was nothing I can do. I kept my calm and my optimism. I just try to take everything as a blessing and as a lesson taught. I believe I’ve learnt much from that.
Chapter 2.Seri,
After that day, I really did not like my CI and CF. my first impression for them was ruin, honestly speaking. But I also feel that my reputation and first impression for them was also bad about me. How much I do not like them shows how much they do not like me as well. After days of attachment, I notice that my CI, Seri was strict, yes and for that I understand her character now. She wants the best from us. I slowly carved out an image thinking that she was better, hoping that I will change my impression of her, just like what I am trying to do, trying to make her like me better as well. I feel that I have learnt much from her, especially on Saturday during my makeup, 26 December 2009. I was given loads of task from her, but her motive was to help us get as much signature as possible, another words, helping us pass.
Chapter 3.Oncology
I went to the internet to actually find out what is oncology, amazed that I didn’t know after being at an oncology ward for 1 week already? Oncology means the study on cancer. Anyway, back to my story about patients at the oncology ward.
It was not only incidents after incidents that made my bad day, there are times that I feel sad for my patients as well. I was taking care of beds 27 – 32 for this attachment. There are patients who are very pitiful, Bed 28 a patient students are not allowed to communicate with, I find his case very sad (patients privacy). Bed 32 who has left us. He was a 78 year old man who has illness and starts having negative thoughts. Maybe he think he has lived long enough and does not want anymore torture, he wants to die (heard when he said in Malay). But there are also times where I feel happy in the ward, for example, Bed 27. He was a great man, a man who thinks very positively in life. He jokes around with people around him, like his family and does not want them to worry too much. Although he had a stage 2 cancer, he is still very positive in life. He is a person who has an optimistic thought and shares the happiness with the people around him. He tells me about his life, and I returned jokes as well. He kept my attachment entertained and I feel that I am capable of communicating with patients well if we were able to speak up to each other. Another patient will be the new Bed 32, he is from china and it is his first time in a hospital, as heard from his friend. He looks very healthy and active. He has also left us just recently, keeping bed 32 now empty.
Chapter 4.Overview
I have signed my skills enough to pass. But I will keep going on, getting as many skills signed as possible and try help out in patients needs if I am able to do so. Even though working as a nurse can be tiring, I am not the only one who is holding on. If they can do it, so can I. All I can say is keep up the right attitude and not let some scolding bring you down.
Work hard, Zhi Yang.
