It's only the start of August and things haven't been easy for me. But through it all, I guess I'm always blessed with such a great support system - my family and friends. I know tough times don't last, but I can't wait for this phase of my life to be over. I can't wait to be truly, genuinely happy again. I know things will be okay. I know things will get better. And until that day happens, I'll pray to God to make things easier for me. For I put my entire faith and future in Him.
In other news, Nurses day was last Monday and (sadly) it's the only day where people thank and appreciate nurses. Okay no, not really. Not a lot of people were aware of this day. But eventually, I hope nurses day isn't the only day for everyone to appreciate nurses. I mean everyday should be nurses day, just as how everyday should be mother's and father's day.
As a noble of a job this is, it's also one of the hardest. We get a lot of crap from everyone - doctors, family members, supervisors and sometimes from our own colleagues. Nothing we do will ever be enough because someone, somewhere will always expect more. But truly, we are all just a bunch of human beings trying our best to provide care to the elderly. We do make honest mistakes and we are learning everyday to improve our care.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, please please appreciate your nurses for we are just a bunch of tired, understaffed, stressed, honest, compassionate and caring people, trying our best to provide great care for all our patients.
And to all you nurses out there, young or old, or even students; please know that all of you are doing a great job, no matter what anyone says. There will be bad days, heck there will be super shitty days. But you'll be okay. Just hang on. Hang on to your passion. Hang on to your colleagues. Hang on to everything you've worked hard for. And things will be okay. Someone out there will eventually recognize your effort. And everything will be worth it.
Until next time,
With love, Hannah xx
