To most of us, we believe it is a natural call on duty. To many of us, it is more than an art or a science, it is a way of life. To a few in the wrong career, it is a job that makes their ends meet. Nursing takes more than just scoring a 4.0 GPA in prerequisites, tough school work and sleepless nights preparing care plans for patient, night before clinical/practical days.
Guinness book of world record has ranked bachelors of nursing as one of the toughest courses I the world, above medicine, engineering and architecture. This just explains that nurses are not average performers but high functioning scholars. Beyond being high functioning, nurses must have strong social, political, cultural and religious skills that equip them with skills to deal with all lows and highs of life.
Nursing pub is a place where nurses from all over the world share stories, experiences, and tips to the world about who we are. Besides stories, nurses at nursing pub offer health tips, answer public questions that may help make better health related decisions.
We are nurses and we stand together like one army from all over the world. We can be described in many ways but no one way can describe us well enough.
“I was there when you took your first breath. Cleaned you, fondled you and introduced you to the world. I prepared you to face the world. I gave you all vaccinations, taught your mother better ways to keep you safe. Day one in school, I was there as your school nurse. When you got sick, I was there in the emergency room, by your bed. Wiped you clean when you couldn’t control your bowels. I was there to feed you when you got too old to feed yourself. I tucked you in bed like I did when you were a baby. Even as you took your last breath, I was there, cried with your family, held hands and said a prayer.
I am not supernatural. I have feelings, blood and a life. I only eat after you have eaten. I pee only after cleaning you and make sure you are comfortable. I have been there for you throughout your life. Respect me”
I am a nurse
