Dressed in white, a swallow hat, gentle words, and busy figures, from early morning to dusk, year after year, they practiced Nightingale's oath in their ordinary posts. May 12 this year is the 113th "International Nurses Day", on the eve of the holiday, the reporter walked into the pediatric department of the county maternal and child health hospital to record the moment when the "angels in white" kept going back and forth between the nurses' station and the ward.
Every morning from 9 to 12 o'clock, it is the busiest time for pediatrics in the county maternal and child health hospital, whether it is the doctor's office or the nurse's station, it is crowded, and it is the peak of infusion injections.
Some are crying, some are screaming, and some keep shaking their heads and saying no, "getting" the children, there is really "a set". In this noisy and annoying environment, the nurses are running back and forth, methodically handling various affairs, just after the end of this bed, the bed began to call again, only a moment of work, has reached the standard of "10,000 steps a day".
There are 15 nurses in the pediatric department of the county maternal and child health hospital, the oldest of whom is in the 80s, and the younger one is in his early 20s. In people's stereotyped impressions, when they go to the hospital to see a doctor, they always want to know who their doctor and nurse are named, so it is necessary for them to have a sense of identity in their nursing work.
As an important part of doctor-patient communication, nurses need to listen patiently and give patients positive answers. After all, in the fast-paced information age, many parents are intellectuals who are good at searching, and they may take advantage of the three to five minutes of the doctor's rounds, waiting for the nurse to send follow-up medicines, and various problems will follow. In addition to the rich theoretical foundation, how to effectively communicate with parents in a short period of time requires practice to accumulate experience.
The meaning of nursing is not only to provide medical care, but also to care. As a pediatric nurse, they should not only have a strong sense of responsibility, but also have skilled venipuncture skills, rich theoretical knowledge and a stable mentality. Although there are many challenges in becoming a pediatric nurse, the child's heartfelt gratitude and innocent and cute smile are indeed the "good prescription" to comfort the nurse's heart.
Working overtime and being on call is their daily work. "As long as we wear white coats, our sense of mission and responsibility makes us always put the safety of our children first," they said. That's what they say, and that's what they do.
In the face of adult patients, nurses can complete the preparation in tens of seconds at the earliest, but in children, it is common for them to run three times without success, the first time they come to change diapers, the second time they come and they happen to be eating, and the third time they enter the door, the doll is just asleep and snoring, and they have to smile and come again next time.
Find empathy in reason. Every day when dealing with children, they are Ultraman, fairy sisters, nurse mothers, hairdressers, and ...... Needle infusion, dressing change and needle extraction, sputum suction and nebulization, inspection records, handover and shift change...... For them, nursing is not just a profession, but also a responsibility. In countless mornings, they pass the first rays of sunshine in the morning to every patient with a smile; For countless late nights, they soothed every restless heart with warmth. Dressed in white, they are full of enthusiasm and firm faith, they are the "eyes" of doctors and the "sentinels" on duty at the bedside.
Reporter's NotesIn a day's interviews, I found that they were always in a hurry, but they were subtle everywhere. Their work is not only in the hospital, but also in the hearts and minds of the children; Their role is not only to provide medical care, but also to convey love and warmth. It's not heroes who stand in the light, this Nurses' Day, let us sincerely say to these unknown angels in white - you have worked hard!
