I learned that if you really want to be a nurse, you should be prepared physically, psychologically, and intellectually once you are exposed to an area or to a patient because you will never know what will happen next. I was shocked when a patient asked me what is the D5W for, and good thing I still remember what we’ve discussed in our previous duty that is why I was able to answer the patient’s question. We, as student nurses, even if we are still studying, should not show to our patients that we know nothing and are grossed to see blood because if we did that, it would scare them more. I learned that you also have to face your fear. I admit that I am one of those people who are really scared of seeing oozing blood and when I first saw an operation, even it was only a minor surgery, I was actually enervating! Now, I am thankful because I have overcome my fear from blood. Hehe… Lastly, I have learned to be more cautious of my health. I realized that I really have to know if there is something unusual growing in any part of my body so I can consult it to the physician immediately and further care should be done because if I do this I would be able to save my self from a more complicating disease.
