When it comes to the work of nurses, injections, infusions, and medicines seem to have become stereotypes, and when it comes to the profession of nurses, the image that comes to mind is always a smiling girl in white. But in fact, this job is far from being as simple as everyone thinks, and the nurses who run around the hospital are not only girls. On the occasion of the 113th International Nurses Day, in order to tear off the inherent labels and break the stereotype, the reporter visited a number of hospitals and chatted with nurses from different departments and specialties about their work.
Psychiatric nurse
Label: Injections, infusions, and medicines every day
Tear off the label: Listening and empathy are the core
"How did you sleep last night?" "Why don't you feel happy today?" "Can you tell me what's going on?" On May 7, at around 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Chunya, the head nurse of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine of Chengdu Fourth People's Hospital, was doing her daily ward rounds. Without measuring blood pressure, checking pulse, or looking at wounds, to understand the patient's condition, Li Chunya had to start with facial expressions; No injections, no infusions, no medicines, and finding the patient's "heart knot" in communication is the most important job of a psychiatric nurse.
On both sides of the corridor of the psychosomatic medicine department of the Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu, there are paintings of patients, and the plant area at the end of the corridor is lush with plants planted by patients. Chatting, drawing, walking, doing crafts...... Accompanying the patients in the ward to do these things is one of Li Chunya's daily jobs. Relaxation through various activities, and the establishment of trust between the medical staff and the patient, is the first and most critical step in the development of psychotherapy.
"As psychiatric nurses, we rarely give injections and infusions to patients, and it is our job to communicate more with patients on the basis of building trust, and to get into their hearts and find the source of their symptoms. Listening, empathy, and supportive psychological care are at the heart of what we do. Li Chunya said that although it sounds like these tasks are easy, it is not easy to "see the essence through the phenomenon" and really enter the hearts of patients.
At the moment of entering the ward every day, it is necessary to capture the patient's expression in time, and judge the patient's emotions based on the patient's tone of speech and behavior. Once the patient's emotional problems are found, it is necessary to intervene and counsel as soon as possible, and if there is a conflict between the patient and the family, it even involves the emotional comfort of the family, "What we care about most is actually the patient's needs other than the body." ”
Anorectal nurse
Label: Work only to care for the sick
Peel off the labels: Take care of the patients and keep the department running
Morning care, infusion therapy, postoperative bowel movements, health education...... In the inpatient ward of the anorectal department of Chengdu Seventh People's Hospital, nurse Wei Zhenzhen has been shuttling back and forth in the ward since 8 a.m. After finishing the business at hand and about to take a breath, the call bell of the nurse's desk rang again, put down the water cup he had just picked up, and ran to the ward, the water in the water cup did not decrease at all.
"You can take care of the sick at the top, and you can go down to the toilet and sewer." This sentence has become a joke often on the lips of Wei Zhenzhen and her colleagues. When she was a nursing student, like many people, she felt that the job of a nurse was to give injections and infusions. But when I really stood in the position of a nurse, I found that things were not as simple as the books said.
If the head nurse is the big housekeeper of the department, then the chief nurse is the small housekeeper of the department, and in addition to the basic care of patients, the daily work also has to manage the big and small things in the department. If the paper towel is gone, you have to apply for it, if the light bulb is broken, you have to contact for repair, and even if the toilet is blocked, you have to help unblock it. The white clothes on the body represent the mission, giving strength, outside the ward, soft and weak, can not unscrew the water bottle of the little girl, once back to the ward, will become "decathlon", in case of emergencies, 10 pounds of ECG monitor can also be lifted and run.
"Don't talk about me, even our head nurse has helped to open the toilet several times this month, to put it simply, not only to take care of patients, but also to maintain the normal operation of the entire department." "We are now in groups, and each group of nurses only needs to be responsible for half of the corridors of the wards. Despite this, each ward goes back and forth more than a dozen times a day, and the number of steps is basically 10,000 steps. ”
Operating room nurse
Label: Hand pliers to the doctor
Remove the label: Cooperate with the doctor to complete all surgical procedures
Even if the nurses in the operating room are portrayed in film and television dramas, the public's label for the nurses in the operating room is always "the person who hands the doctor pliers". But in reality, their work does not stop there, and "handing pliers" is not as simple as the public thinks. The nurse in the operating room is not only the closest "comrade-in-arms" of the chief surgeon and the anesthesiologist, but also the "angel in green" who silently guards under the shadowless lamp.
The reporter learned that the nurses in the operating room are mainly composed of instrument nurses and itinerant nurses, the former is responsible for the surgical cooperation on the table, and the latter is responsible for the cooperation under the stage. Xie Yilin, a nurse in the operating room of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, is recently learning the cooperation of heart surgery as an instrument nurse.
At around 2 p.m. on May 9, Xie Yilin hurriedly rushed to the operating room after quickly picking up his boxed lunch to prepare for the opening of a heart surgery. After preparing the necessary instruments such as valve testers and special valve holding rods for heart valve replacement, he was busy arranging other instruments and tools that might be used. "The change of the patient's condition during the operation will lead to a change in the surgical method, we generally need to prepare more than 50 instruments for a simple operation, and there may be hundreds of instruments for a slightly more complex operation." Xie Yilin said.
On the operating table, Xie Yilin observed the condition of the operation intently, the doctor did not need to open his mouth, did not need to raise his head, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he could accurately hand the required instruments to the doctor. "Surgeons in different departments will have some differences in the way they operate." Xie Yilin told reporters that "handing forceps" in the operating room is actually a "delicate thing", "In the surgical operation where vascular anastomosis requires extremely delicate surgery, different doctors will use different fine needle holders and vascular sutures, and we must also hand them accurately enough so as not to affect the surgical process." ”
[Easter egg at the end of the article]
Not only "active" nurses, but also interviewed 5 junior nursing students from the School of Nursing of Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine on this nurse's day. Even so, they still have confidence in the profession: "The professionalism and precision of nursing are very strong, and this profession is worth it for me to rise to the challenge and overcome all difficulties." "I am confident that I will become a good nurse" "Even though I know that I may go through a painful period of professionalism in the future, I will continue to move forward with determination." ”
Full of longing and facing the interview camera, they said: "I want to be a geriatric nurse", "I want to be recognized by patients", "I hope that in the future, there will be nurses wherever patients need them." ”……
The future of the youth is promising, and the spirit of Nightingale has been passed down from generation to generation.
