~ Compliment ~
12:38:00 am
The Director of Nursing (DN) commented that my handwriting was very neat... *Haha*...
And what did I do? Just smile and say "Thank you"... Well, I can't be too proud...
But I was a little bit
paiseh especially when she complimented me in front of the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADN) and a few other Nursing Officers from various wards...
Nonetheless, it certainly pays off have a slow but neat handwriting... At least people can read it without much difficulties!!
On another hand, the ward is getting more and more 'heavy' and busy... As though the ward is turning to a mini-hospice... Just on my side alone, 8 to 9 patients, out of 12 patients, are those who are diagnosed with cancer...
It's always pretty scary to nurse patients who are diagnosed with cancer... It's not just about the patients and the nursing care that we have to provide... I'm totally fine with that... It's the relatives that I'm 'scared' of... It's their feelings that I truly have to be mindful of... They are the most 'fragile' people... And me? I always have problems communicating, just in case I mention the wrong things to them, when they are already at the most vulnerable stage...
Challenging job...
