i never regret i accompanied her to pursue her dreams yesterday. i saw her eyes sparkle. i saw the grin of interest. i know she wants to do this. you have all my support babe. you have it all. make sure i am the first few people you call when you get it. hehe.
i call it a mid career change.
somehow, i question myself if i foresee myself as a nurse in the next 2 years. the answer is NO. :) probably, that is the reason why i never imagine myself as a nurse manager from day 1. surprising when it comes from me because i've always enjoy operating. that is why i said NO too when i sat down in front of the big people lately. i don't know if they are genuine about it but, i said NO.
i've always wanted to pursue further in nursing. get an advance dip in perioperative nursing first and pursue a bachelor in nursing in Curtin University later. see, i have it all planned out. when i know what to do, i can rationale my actions.
however, if you ask me today why nursing? i can only tell you... the job is very very stable and i always like stability.
why operating theatre? the adrenaline rush. the fast pace. the thrill. the feeling of in control. the teamwork. something silly.. i like to hold the compact drill and imagine i drill someone's femur! or the pen-air drill and drill someone's ulna!! hahaha. but, not for real of course.
but, the new mindset have sway me away from my initial goals.
don't laugh...!!
I've always wanted to be a Food & Nutrition teacher. i am serious. i enjoyed my coursework and i enjoy baking and cooking. i like the food experiments too. hey, this is my forte.
however, since, i am in nursing, i never thought about it until few months ago. it became stronger after the talk i attended. i should be attending talks like... How to Manage Diabetic Patients or Management of a Heart Disease or stuff like that... isshhh. tak kuasa aku!
one good thing about MOT nurses is that they are fierce people. they scold doctors upfront when they are unhappy about certain things. they don't give face to them. i like that. but of course not to all doctors. especially when they accidentally prick us, selamat ah mereka. the nurse manager will come in and give her second helping.
in dsot.. it is a total different thing. when they forgotten to open the gowns and gloves, we will open for them. in MOT, the nurses will tell them, next time, you remember to open it yourself.
then again... some are really nice surgeons. it is always a pleasure working with them.
i remember telling a friend that i feel that doctors should go for anger management course. we understand their tension during surgeries. we, nurses, are as tension!
i refer to many points i collate about being a nurse which i will list another time.
as for now... i am anxious as to how i am going to assist spine in future. hmmm.. spine hur? i never thought i would do spine and neuro surgeries. i never thought i would run emergency theatre on daily basis.
well, i am ready to get back to theatre tomorrow. i'll do my best.
1 year 3 months to kill before i become a free man. =)
so fast.. it will be April soon.
