Yesterday is May 12, international Nightingale Nurses Day, which is to be in
honor of Nightingale, a great women who established the first nurse school and
influenced people all around the world for her devotion to human beings. On this
day, nurses are respected very much for their care for the patients.
In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China, we also celebrated
Nightingale Nurses Day. The patients all show their love and thanks for their
nice nurses. The leaders also give gifts to all nurses and thanked them and they
also gave rewards to those who perform best this year.
When it comes to the word nurse, we will all think of a word devotion. In
Shijiazhuang kidney disease hospital, international department, we have patients
from all over the world such as Greece, America and New Zealand, etc. After they
are discharged, they will have a nurse to take care of them. The nurses learn
English even after work to be a good interpreter for their patients for they
know that successful communication in English is very essential. Only in this
way, can they give the best service for friends from all over the world.
One patient was from grace one year ago, who was diagnosed with PKD. He went
to China for he heard that Micro-Chinese Medicine can shrink cysts without any
side effects. His nurse is Miss Jing. Miss Jing can communicate with him in
English fluently, which makes it convenient when he wanted to go to supermarket
and so on. Jing reminded him to take in medicine on time every day and also
reminded him what food is good or bad for his cysts treatment. For example, Jing
will list food which will stimulate the cysts such as sea food, pepper and so
on.
When this patient would leave, he was not so happy although the cysts shrank
for he will also say goodbye to Jing, who took care of him so much.
