misi oh misi

Being a Nurse Means ...

You will never be bored.

You will always be frustrated.

You will be surrounded by challenges.

So much to do and so little time.

You will carry immense responsibility

and very little authority.

You will step into people’s lives

and you will make a difference.

Some will bless you.

Some will curse you.

You will see people at their worst -

and at their best.

You will never cease to be amazed

at people’s capacity for

love, courage, and endurance.

You will see life begin - and end.

You will experience resounding triumphs

and devastating failures.

You will cry a lot.

You will laugh a lot.

You will know what it is to be human

and to be humane.

yup, it was true.. bukannya nak menunjuk2 or apa taw.. before I jump into medical field, I thought that being a nurse is easy.. very easy.. duduk kat kaunter, tulis report, datang kat patient buat2 kerja pastu blah la..

but, I was totally wrong.. I never expect that life of a nurse was full of challenges.. yela, kerja ikut shif.. kalau kerja pagi memang awal2 dah kena bangun even tak nak bangun pun.. kerja shif petang sampai malam.. kalau shif malam, gamak nya sampai pukul 7 pagi besok la jawab nya.. kalu shif malam bukannya boleh tidur pun, kena serve ubat, bagi feeding kalau pt makan ikut tiub, tengok pt condition apatah lagi yang kritikal.. karang collapse, sapa nak jawab? nurse jugak..

mula2 memang tak boleh nak adapt.. oh, macam ni ke life of a nurse? penat nya.. but yet, it was fun!

kita jumpa ramai orang. kerja dengan orang2 yang hebat. tak kurang jugak yang agak..hmmm...agak... (tak yah cakap kat sini lah).. bila pt datang kat kita dengan pelbagai masalah, we try to help them.. kalau boleh, kita nak mereka balik dengan sihat and lebih baik daripada keadaan sebelum masuk..

kadang2, tak sempat nak makan.. nak gi toilet pun tak ada masa.. just lalu-lalang depan toilet je.. says "hi"..

betul, kita jaga 6-8 pt..masa tu la nak cuci luka, ambil vital signs, serve meds,etc.. kalau shif malam lagi lah, cover lagi ramai pt.. belum kira lagi yang ada procedure dan nak kena assist doktor..

so, people.. please appreciate nurses..

I felt soooo happy if they just say "thank you"

I learnt lots,lots of things actually.. alhamdulilah.. even I hate this profession at first.. memang kena banyak2 bersabar.. mostly bila facing dengan pt yang fussy & annoying.. but, they are ill.. emosi tak stabil.. they are tendency to get angry easily.. tak kurang jugak mak cik pak cik yang baik..

 "saya doakan misi semua berjaya dalam hidup"

"berkenan buat menantu" eheh, lebih limit dah ni.. uhuk2..

ada sorang chinese aunty ni siap nak bagi RM 10 lagi kat aku dulu sebab jaga dia kat wad. dia terharu sebab kita org tukar pampers dia. kita orang cakap je la dah memang tanggungjawab kita orag care for patients. we did it sincerely, bukan tak nak terima duit dia.. lagipun, we have our own ethical issue yang we can't accept gift from patients.. ni ikut teori laa.. but, for me, we should know well to assess the situation and the gift.. bukan memilih ok.. ada yang kita memang tak boleh ambil.. ada yang maybe kita boleh terima supaya dia orang tak terasa hati..

well, depends gak laa.. bukan gift/pujian yang kita nak.. tapi, at least I have something to bring there.. so that I know how to answer Allah soon.. 

teringat, bila gather dengan best friend yang bukan in medical field..

I wud have many, many stories to tell her.. ahaks!

sampai dia cakap, "norfa, best nya jadi nurse"

I think those in nursing profession je faham how does a nurse lives her life.. 

ingat senang jadi nurse.. senang macam ni la.. lahai..

be a good khalifah, ya?
