Hada request from a friend to write about nurses in Sabah (she's a nursing student) and compare them to Peninsular Malaysia nurses. She hears them grudgingly back talk about doctors almost everyday and would like to hear from me if there's any difference.
I think its human nature to back talk whether they mean it or realize it. I'm not encouraging it but just acknowledging its existence. Yes it exist here. Not just among nurses, but among doctors as well. Nurses back talk that arrogant houseman, houseman backtalks that malignant specialist, patients backtalks that nurse. Sometimes you don't hear it, you just sense it. Makes you wonder what people talk or think of you behind you back.
But so far I enjoy working with the nurses here. Its too early to make a general overall conclusion but the nurses I've met are really helpful and most are fun to work with. The labour room staff are a cheerful bunch. They offer food and invite us to Raya at their place. They are the ones who cover our asses and remind us of jobs. They tell us the correct dose for medications and help teach us stitch. The nurses I've met taught me Caesarian section. I have a feeling they'd be able to perform a better C-sec than most new MOs if only they had the license to do so. Most importantly they keep the wards organized and in-check. I believe them to be more professional than most doctors regardless of rank.
Prof Nasa was right. You should treat your nurses you work with with RESPECT. They are not down the food chain. We work together to achieve a common goal. This would be much easier if everyone did not talk behind each others back and be suspicious of each other.
I love my nurses. Make them love you too.
Oh, nurses in KK I've met a lot are pretty and cute too =D

Salam Bro,
ReplyDeleteNot expecting you to write as quick as this!!!
Tapi, terima kasih atas responnya.
It is so grateful they are so kind there =) May be it's only me exaggerating the story. But if you say it is human nature, may be it should be controlled and done in moral way(no FB backbiting/rude words).
We talk about other's bad when he or she is really bad and there is a need to talk about the bad thing. If the talk about others is only for joke, respect won't be gained/made by us to other weak people(as we have to respect others not because he or she is better than us).
Well, the moral value is a real respect must be possessed by each members of the team.
ngee...Don't take it so serious as I believe all of us are created to be good. Setiap manusia ada fitrah utk jadi baik kan.(as Syams 91:8)
Thanx in advance ya!!!
nurses are not YOURS! They are the colleagues. So, treat them as the colleagues. Respect them as the colleagues.
