Ten years a nurse

[PainRack]

So.... In the midst of fighting off a bacterial infection last week, I finally noticed my friends posting and realised this.

I have been a nurse for ten years now. 6 years in haematology, 10 months training in oncology post diploma and 3 years in internal medicine wards.....


It's been a long, crazy ride... I finally collected my first things people shove up their butt story 3 months ago, so... Even as the wonder has faded, every month still shows me something new to see and learn. I seen the first patient who ever trusted me as a nurse pass away... I also seen my first major case which I handled and led survive years later on which gave me a then much needed boost in deciding whether to continue on in my career, I'm still battling burnout and depression , I don't know how the next move into the fast pace world of a placement ward will go but it's been a journey . I don't have any professional recognition other than my service awards, I'm not famous or ranked highly, but I know that I'm valued as senior doctors on seeing me now in Internal medicine would ask why I left and enquire on my situation, I receive thanks from patients and doctors, I have junior doctors looking to me at time to lead protocol and expertise, and of course, doctors tolerating my quirks as I annoy them more than I annoy my colleagues. ..

I won't have changed this for the world, although I like to take back my immune system from ten years ago.

Thanks for reading.
