I’ve been working at a local nursing home for a couple weeks now, and I have to say I am looking forward to a great summer. The nursing home is a nice place, and I have made friends with the staff, staff members that have become my friends. I am also looking forward to a beautiful day where the sun is shining, the grass is green, and the birds are singing. The staff has become like family to me.
One of the most popular tasks that nurses have is to visit residents in the nursing home to check on and to give them advice. For all the staff doing this, the visitors are their beloved clients. It’s so nice to get the chance to spend a day with these people. During these two weeks, I have visited seven nursing homes where I am now a resident.
As I mentioned before, I was lucky enough to go to the beach where I was staying with my grandmother. Although I don’t think that it’s necessary for a nurse to go to a beach every day, I feel like I’ve been living in a world where we don’t have to be in the same boat every day.
I feel like Ive been living in a world where we dont have to be in the same boat every day, but I dont think that is true. There is obviously a certain amount of overlap between being a nurse and a patient, but most patients will be in the same boat for awhile. Also, this week I had to be at a different office for a few days.
Well, I guess I have to say that I would much rather be in the same boat as a nurse than a patient. I feel like the patient has the best perspective on things, while the nurse just feels like she is watching everything happen to her. I think it is the same for most parents and children, and that is why I enjoy working in the NICU at the hospital.
I always feel like I’m a nurse, but my main concern is that I am a patient too.
I would really rather be a parent instead of a patient. I am also curious about your experience of what happens to the patient in the NICU.
It’s so much easier to imagine things with the patient in a hospital than it is to imagine them with the parent in the hospital. The reality is that the child is surrounded by strangers, with no time to process who they are or what their life is like without their parent. The parent is likely to be stressed, depressed, in pain, or simply frustrated with the baby. The only thing that is likely to give the parent a moment of peace is a good night’s sleep.
I don’t think I’ve ever thought about this before, but I think my biggest frustration with the NICU is that it rarely has the time to take care of the parents. The parents have to be there 24/7 if they want to stay healthy. And there’s never a chance to be with the parents during the night, or during their day.
I think I would rather have the parents spend a night with me. However, I also know that there is a chance that one of them will be admitted to the NICU and then sent home to sleep, and the other will have to stay with us for the night, and the other will have to go home and spend the night with me too.
