As the colours next to my name change from green,

to the colour now, blue.

im doubting where my course is leading me.

it has been training almost 1000 ppl every year,

to become registered nurses.

they have taught and will teach them theories

that they are required to know to carry out their duties.

tested them on practical skills so that they are

competent enough to head out there and perform like 2nd nature.

slowly from simple tasks. taking vital signs and feeding.

to now the slightly more complex I/V therapy, medications and injections.

which will further evolve into skills

that are required for specialized areas like the operating theatre.

skills and theory is something almost everyone who will pass out

ought and believed to have grasped.

but. slowly from year3. you are required to be able to take care

up to 12 patients in a shift.

its nt difficult those of u might say if youre not in it.

your duties would include:

knowing your patients.

all 12. their diagnosis. care plan. procedures to be done.

lab results. social and medical history.

serving of medications to 12 patients.

knowing the kinetics and adverse reactions.

i/v therapy. Normal saline, Dextrose, Blood products, Medications.

dealing with complaints from relatives and patients.

and of all.. writing reports.

nursing the table.. some might say.

something i fear the most.

nursing the table.. is characterized by a registered nurse

who does their daily duties and after completion, sits down

and writes the endless reports. treating each patients as an agenda

for the day and ends it when there are no longer

any jobs left to do for the patient.

the nurse would not know the feelings of the patient

as there is no socializing.

when my lecturer in charge asked me earlier this sem,

whether i regretted nursing..

i confidentally said no.

now..

i jus want to take it back.
