The Student Nurse
The Affiliate
The Bicol Medical Center located in Panganiban Drive, Naga City is the only government owned tertiary hospital in the whole Camarines Sur, it’s Medical ward located on the left wing of the main building just a few steps above the Emergency room caters to various patient from all over the region crowd in this 8 room ward seeking the most affordable medical attention, poverty and financial instability led this individuals to be taken care of in the goodwill of the government health care workers, and on a charity basis.
Unfortunately there is a variety of odors which can be smelled in the ward ranging from the most amorous scent to the extent of the repulsive odors way beyond human tolerance. Staff nurses miraculously are able to accommodate such dense population all vying for their attention albeit such charitable services gets real deep into the nerves resulting to some being tagged as indifferent, all because requests becomes too repetitive and it’s hard to keep ones cool.
The affiliate are not accustomed to highly specific task-oriented procedures. They are exposed to steaming hostility of the ranks, these training individuals needs supervision and not simply letting them do professional jobs. luckily there is always our clinical instructors ready to enlighten and push down the buzzer whenever student nurses stand up idle doing nothing, though they do have their imperfections.
The Bicol Medical Center’s Medical ward is the pinnacle of un-ideal nursing services should Lippincott’s Fundamentals of Nursing would be followed as the institutions standard operating procedures.
It is disturbing that the theories taught in school is blurred by the principles of this highly acclaimed Institution.
