I advocate for access to quality education for underprivileged children through my lens as a nurse

I wasn’t that smart , I guess 😂😂 My growth journey as a nursing student has been nothing short of amazing. I still remember my first day of my first clinical experience like it was yesterday. There I was, steadily checking the vital signs of a deceased man because I was told you have to be smart as a nurse. 🤭 While at the bedside, a medical officer saw me and asked what I was doing by the deceased man. Aside feeling embarrassed 😞 My heart 🫀skipped a beat. No, I didn’t cry 😭, but I was in shock. Had I really been standing by a deceased man for the past 2 minutes? I know quite a number of people who stopped following their passion because of their first ill experience, but for me, it was a turning point. 💫 Instead of being discouraged, I chose to learn from it and grow. After my shift that day, I read on the cardinal signs to look out for in a dying or dead man so I’m not found wanting in another experience. 😁 Each experience, no matter how challenging or unexpected, has shaped me into a more resilient and compassionate nursing student. When I take a look at myself and the skills I’ve acquired throughout this journey, all I can say is , these moments like that prepare us to become better healthcare professionals.👩🏾⚕️👌🏾 ….im proud and happy to be on this path.💃🏾🥳 𝑵𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆. 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒕𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔.
