Today after this camp i do realize something. I'm not a good nurse actually. In the camp, I have a church member accidently injured his hand by a broken umbrella yesterday. His blood oozing out.... That time, i'm not around to help him up... they try their best to use the solution in the 1st aids kit to help him up... After that, his dressing was soaked with blood again... So i use the solution that i not used to use to do dressing for him...do hope that will help him reduce the risk of infection... His hand was swelling and with my knowledge... i just know that ice do help to reduce the swelling. Other than that, i know nothing... i feel useless actually!!! haiz....Today, i change the dressing for him again, I not realize anything was wrong about the solution. Until my sis asked that why this solution wont help much in healing process, so i do check for the expired date for the solution. I get shock when i found out that the solution was expired long time ago. hmm... this is a big mistake i had made... For a normal person, we do forgive them, but i'm a nurse. I'm not suppose to make this mistake anyway. Maybe routinely i used the solution in the hospital all is up to date because we will check it as routine on the nite duty. But.... i think from today onwards i have to make it as a practice to check up all expired date before apply any medication or serving medication to others.
This afternoon, when i on my facebook, i realize i had received a message from my previous patient. She was one of a nice and friendly patient i meet. She sent me a message through facebook. I get shocked when i read it... it so touch to me and as a encouragement too...
"....Just to let you know, you've made a difference in my life.. maybe you'd think that this is just a minor thing, but it has made a great impact to my life..." when read until this phase make my tear going to drop down... i'm so happy that God make a different in my life. This is what i hope i can make it in my nursing life. Eveyday before going to work, i started with a little prayer "... may the work that i do and the way that i do may bring faith , joy, love and a smile to all i come in contact today..." I do hope my patient can be better under my care and not getting worse after my care!!! Thanks God... it really a best present for me in this Raya...haha... this such a little encouragement do let me feel warm and worth. Thanks u my friendly patient and as my friend too that do share this to me... thanks ya!!!
