Title: Passion must always be there.3 weeks of attachment passed in a blink. And next week will be the last week of attachment. Sometimes it makes you think twice why you want to be a nurse and whether you are on the right track. There is like a devil and angel in my inner self. Sometimes a lot of question go through my mind when doing my attachment.
Q: Why am I doing all this for the patient? The patient will ask you to take this to him and clean his shit and changing diapers.
Devil: Why am I doing all this for them? I am not their maid!!! A nurse is the same as a maid. No much differance. Why don't you go to be a maid instead?
Angel: Nurse is supposed to do things for the patient. To care for the patient including shit and urine and whatever. You should have been expecting all these things in the first day when you join nursing. If you can endure, it means your passion is there. And a maid is differance from a nurse. A maid is without knowledge. A nurse is full of knowledge.
Q: Sometimes patient are really getting on my nerve.
Devil: Just do not care about them. It making you mad man.
Angel: Your attitude is totally wrong man. Even if they are getting on your nerve, you also can't get angry. It is the worst thing to get angry with your patient. You should have patience. Where is your patience man? And never show a bad face in front of them.
Sometimes a dozen of question in my mind about the right and wrong things that we should do. And we should always do a reflection of ourself at the end of the day about what we actually do that day. I have truely learnt a lot in this attachment. Getting a feel of how attachment is like in hospital. And all of a sudden, I feel that I have grow up in the way I think about things. :D
