In case of turbulence, one patient at a time

During this crisis, we’re faced with ethical and moral dilemmas that lots of us have never encountered before. Perhaps the work of a nurse during war is analogous; but for those of us who haven’t served on this capability, it’s all latest and shakes us to our core. We’re a caring career and our instinct is to run towards adversity, not away from it. That is what we do now. But we at all times said that we could be there to look after the sick, to carry their hand, to easily be present after they needed us, and above all, to never let a patient die alone. This leaves us in a dilemma where we can’t be the nurse we were just a number of months ago.

The fact is that we must protect ourselves first in order that we may help others. So, just because the announcement states that we must placed on our own mask before helping others before every flight, we must also take the time to placed on PPE before entering a patient’s room in the event that they are in isolation. Taking these couple of minutes to take the appropriate actions is crucial if we wish to be healthy enough to look after the numerous patients who need our care. We cannot afford to be a victim because we have now not taken the time to guard ourselves first.

Caring for such a lot of patients is overwhelming. We must consider each patient as a person and provides our all for that one patient once we are with them. It isn’t about what we will not do, but what we will do with the resources we have now. All we will do for every patient is our greatest

Frontline caregivers should remain vigilant and recognize when a patient is heading toward trouble. You’ve gotten a sixth sense; Use this. It’s at all times higher to handle a situation before it becomes a fast response or code blue situation. It’s at all times preferred to perform procedures and interventions in non-emergency situations.

As healthcare employees, we have now not witnessed such a test of our healthcare system because the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. It’s a learning experience for all of us that may test us to the core. We face ethical and moral dilemmas, but we keep going because we all know we will not save everyone, but we’ll save as many as we will. We must do every thing we will for our patients, one patient at a time.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a possibility for nurses to indicate what they’ll do – we’re a caring career that rises above challenges to offer care to those in need. We recognize the necessity to protect ourselves first in order that we will look after the masses. After we are with our patients, we’ll deal with one patient at a time and take into consideration what we will do for them, not what we cannot. AND
