Clinical posting in Sunway medical centre

A blink of an eye, already past three weeks… I stilled remember the very 1st day of my clinical posting in Sun-Med. I can say Sun-Med hospital just like hotel, look so high class and there is no hospital strong smelly smell that I always expected and dislike. Surprisingly, Sun-Med make me feel nice and comfortable.

1^st day of clinical posting, we have orientation in the hospital, we have to know which floor have what ward, where is the cafeteria & many more. I was nervous at that particular moment because we have to start to help real patient instead of mannequin in the school mock ward. I was so excited and full of curious, wondering what I will be throughout this 8weeks in the hospital. I remember, I build rapport with one patient have just done operation. Me and Dianne do bed bath for the patient, both of us kinda kelam-kabut because we don’t know patient got their shampoo, basin, small towel, so kind of mess up. But praise God, our patient is a understanding and kind patient, knowing we are student nurse for Sem 1 and don’t mind us doing bed bath for her.

Not only doing bed bath, every morning after taking one hour report we have to go every patient and change their bed sheet, ask them whether have they brush their teeth, want to bath or not, got drink water or not…. So many things to care of, somehow I think if I care for my parents such concern way, I think my parents will be super happy… Well, we learn how to measure urine, charting, communicate with patient and make friends with them… and I did make friends with them and they appreciate what we have done for them.

You know, the best and happiest thing is, when you see your patient discharge from the hospital, the sense of joy for them is indescribable. appHappy for them that they finally can go back home and have a wonderful time spending with their families… No matter how difficult serving them in any situation, but knowing them getting well all is worthy.. Or even though I know that some of them can’t continue their life, yet we still put on hope and continue care and give the best concern and interest on them so patient will feel not alone and happy.

Being a nurse is not an easy task, no short cut when doing any procedure or care given to the patient. We have to always think critical and patient-centred.. We may feel restless and somehow weak, yet somehow there is a motivation keep pushing us keep on going, never give up. If we give up, who is going to take care of the patient?? Are you going to do it? What is the risk will be if we don’t provide just simple care.. It will cause a lot of unwanted and unexpected sickness and harmful… So, I’m grateful and full with appreciative in this nursing line, everyone of us is special, valuable, unique and loved. No matter who you are, how sick you are, in God’s eyes, you always are His sons and daughters… God love you and me~~~ Namaste…^^
