Almost close to immediately I corrected him, "Sorry I do not SERVE the patient, I NURSE them."
I was pretty offended seriously.
I didn't study that much, with the constant upgrading of myself, to "SERVE" another being, you can say I "serve" the nation, but you CANNOT use the word "serve" on my profession.
What I am doing, besides being physically draining, we can be quite mentally and emotionally challenged too.
Tell me about how to you know when to inform the physicians about any abnormalities? Tell me about who was the one who make sure that whatever you are getting is right? And honestly speaking, for those who has not been ill before, sometimes the nurses' skill in certain practical procedure like venepuncture and cannulation are far better than the doctors, I am not being boastful here or undermining the importance of other professions, but ask those who has been sick for a long period of time, not only once that I heard this from the patients.
You think all these doesn't require experiences or knowledge???
So, WHAY DO YOU MEAN BY "SERVED"?
*Roar*
I am not trying to be a heroine here or what, at days whereby the government was promoting nursing so much, the presence of the mindset of this kind of people is sure disturbing.
