Abstract

Working around a hospital as ac nurse makes you work with equipment and machines always. Whatever we learnt in the nursing school was theoretically based on the understanding of what is a disease, what are procedures and what related care should be given to the clients. But the scenario changed when we kept our feet in the clinical areas during electives, independent clinical or mainly after graduation. What I personally realized that a nurse is more a technician at the ward setting in practical aspects along with a compassionate care giver.Involving in maintenance of feeds with pumps, handling ventilators, using equipment for cardiac monitoring, electronic screens for vital signs, technical pumps to start infusion and many more examples are all related to the daily routine work of a tertiary care hospital nurse.
