It is international nurses week, where nurse are celebrated all over the WORLD. The month of May as been set aside for the nurse to be celebrated. I will like all steemitian to join me to celebrate the great work nurses do. (Nursing is a demanding profession that requires physical, mental and emotional strength)

Nurse are angels who spent most of there time with the patients around the clock. Morning, afternoon and night are shift run by the nurses in Hospitals, always in charge of wards where patients are admitted.

Duties are duly carried out getting patients to take their medication as at when due, reading and getting to know various writing of medical doctors just to make sure they carry out the prescription properly, vital signs of 4hourly for complete 24rs in other to know whether the patient is improving or things are getting worst, making of beds to ensure a neat and comfortable environment for every patient who comes into the ward,with an envelope corner and making sure no overlapping or crumbs to avoid pressure sore,bed pan hours with about 20 patients in a ward wheeling them on a trolley to the toilet where it is going to be disposed, even when they need it after the bed pan hour, they still have to come to their aid.

The smile that heals and touches that relieves burden from the heart, assisting in the activities of daily living when they can't do this unaided such as oral care, bed bath and lifting of certain part of the body to avoid pressure sore. Being available at the bed side of the patient every moment to make sure they feel special and help they psychologically.

The most terrifying of all is the theatre moment standing for hours (10-18 hours) on a patient making all procedures carried out with sterile surgical equipment and environment giving the patient life. The time to dress the wound and making sure It is not infected.

Educating patients and relatives on the disease condition that as brought them to the hospital, so that they will be aware of the causes, symptoms, treatment and complications.

During emergency, they are always with all their senses alert and brain working to make sure life is not lost, struggling with patients who are not comfortable with oxygen in situ not knowing to the patient that it is the only surviving means that particular time.

The most challenging part of the profession (having empathy for the pain and suffering of patients) is when the prognosis of a particular ailment is poor that the chances of surviving is low and at last the patient gave up the ghost and giving the body it last respect by carrying out procedure called last office before the body is carried to the morgue for proper preservation.

My accolades goes to all nurses who won't give up, who is willing to give more to the society despite the challenges, ups and downs, hazards and the poorly remuneration but still but away all these because they derives satisfaction from the patients happiness.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL NURSES WEEK TO ALL THE NURSES WHO ARE PROUD TO BE ONE
