NURSING FROM THE HEART

you will be surprised that why i have concentrated much on writing about hospitals this week. this is what i have been doing the whole week as we approach easter. as i told you my sister is still in hospital. thank god she is now improving tremendously with no exceptions. the malaria that had attacked her has almost varnished into the thin air. thanks to your prayers. this i saw last night as i sat behind her bed in the childrens ward cracking some stories of ecouragment to her and telling her to eat. eating is the challenge that many patients come across wich later lead to weakness and abnormal working of medicines. at all cost patients should be advised to eat for them to gain strength to their recovery. this is the second drip of medicine my sister is getting but it has been a good improvement.

what touched me was the treatment the nurses were giving at the hospital. due to shortage of nurses at Kamuzu central hospital, the government of malawi resorted to hiring students fro the kamuzu school of nursing to do their practicals at the hospital as it is near and will serve as a good attachment to their studies. so fine and good. they are everywhere and moving on the corridors of the hospital up and down with their gadgets.

one advise to thease nursies; they shouild not tqake their studies for granted, this is a calling they should protect and defend to the best by doing the best ever that no one has done in the world. they need to study psychology that they know what happens when someone is seek.

the way the were welocoming patients at the hospital a a point of concern as they would shout at patients with no limits showing their undesired manners they came with from home, giving treatment late and living the drip on patients for the whole 12 hours even though it has finished is unproffessional, mind application should work here at all cost. there is a lot left to be done from the nurses that i fail to mention. once again 'people are gasping for air in the hospital due to lack of space' serve us please!
