What do you think of a nurse?
Is it monitoring the data changes on the patient's life monitor at all times? Or do you care for and protect patients 24 hours a day, like family......
May 12 this year is the 113th "International Nurses Day", let us get close to this group of respectable and lovely "angels in white".
Newborn "surrogate mother"
With bursts of newborn crying, Zhao Lijin started a new day's work. With 13 years of nurse career, she is now the head nurse of the neonatal department of a maternity and infant West Hospital, and has become the "surrogate mother" of countless newborns.
The patients in the neonatology department are special in that they are all critically ill or potentially dangerous newborns within 28 days of birth, and the nurse's task is to monitor the health indicators of the children and rescue the children who are in danger at any time.
At 7:30 a.m., Zhao Lijin often arrives at the department half an hour early, and walks into the ward after changing into work clothes, wearing a hat and mask, and washing her hands, to check the indicators of critically ill children, ventilator parameters, changes in nighttime vital signs, and understand the basic situation of each child.
It can be said that the baby's eating, drinking, and Lazar during this period of time have to go through our hands, which is equivalent to us becoming the child's 'temporary guardian', so many family members will call us 'surrogate mother'.
Zhao Lijin told reporters that due to the special environment of the neonatal department, a woman and baby take the practice of "unaccompanied care and regular visits", "most babies are born and leave the arms of their parents, as short as 3 to 5 days, and even more than 3 months without seeing their parents." ”
In order to better alleviate the anxious emotions of parents, the neonatology department of the hospital carries out visits three times a week.
In order to allow the hospitalized baby to receive the same care after returning home, we will also make an appointment for the parents to enter the ward to participate in the care, do kangaroo care, feeding guidance, and inform them in detail about the treatment, feeding, signs and other conditions of the child when they participate in the care, so as to relieve parents' anxiety and improve their care ability.
How many steps can I walk in a day working in an emergency department?
Zhang Chenrong, an emergency nurse at the West Hospital of Women and Infants, replied "at least 20,000 steps".
The emergency department is a "battlefield" that fights against the disease and does not stop for a moment all year round and all day. Working here, nurses are more concerned with monitoring the changes in the patient's condition, being ready for rescue at any time, and guarding the patient's "lifeline" day and night.
Zhang Chenrong has been engaged in nursing work for 10 years, and now she is proficient in various first aid, guardianship measures, and nursing skills. But recalling the situation when she first joined the work, Zhang Chenrong said frankly,
In the first two years of work, I felt a lot of pressure because I hadn't fully transitioned from the role of a student. But as you work for more years, your sense of professional identity grows...... A lot of professions have 'burnout periods,' but I haven't been through them.
For a long time, Zhang Chenrong has always devoted herself to her work with full enthusiasm and a positive and rigorous attitude, guarding every patient with "patient-centered", and her good work performance has won unanimous praise from colleagues in the department and patients' families, and has won the honorary title of "service star".
She also actively participated in various activities organized by the hospital and departments, and won the monthly championship and the year-end championship many times in the lecture competition. At the same time, as a member of the nursing committee, she actively organizes various activities to relieve the pressure and troubles at work with her colleagues, and helps her colleagues analyze problems and solve difficulties as a "passer-by".
