Come On?! Like Seriously?!

It's the 4th week since class has started and also the 3rd week of practicals. Everything seems to be heading to my way. Clinical Instructors are nice so does the staff nurses in the hospitals.

This is the freaking place which am talking about
This week we are moved from Jelebu to Bahau. Which both of them are still in Negeri Sembilan. I should say Bahau seems like a boring dead town to me. Population not more than 40k. People here are not as nice as Jelebu. People here seems to think more like "Urban-People". Mostly here are Chinese and malay which I saw.

Now do you get the picture when am saying villasge?!
The main reason why we * including my course mate of course* are shifted here because we need to fulfill our CHN *Community Health Nursing* crosses. First of all I would like to say. This District Clinic SUCKS to the max! Why?! BECAUSE THERE IS NO FOOD!! NO CANTEEN OR WHAT SO EVER! It is a freaking small clinic in the middle of no where! It is left stranded far from the main road for like 2.5 Kilometers! What more to say! IT IS FREAKING IN A FREAKING VILLAGE!  

And guess what?! it is in Jempol! Bandar Seri Jempol! God! Nilai UC you got to be kidding me! It is a totally different town!!

But what's best about here! Our Clinical Instructor she rocks!! *yeah, for the mean time because we just know her*. Hopefully this coming 2 weeks I better not be tortured by her or some kind. I don't know.

Anyway, hopefully things turns out fine for this coming 2 weeks! I don't wanna suffer! God! Freaking please just bring me out of this place! 2 weeks of patience which am asking for~

A Little Of "Rasa Sayang" from Jelebu

   
Jelebu Hospita
Am currently posted in Jelebu Hospital with another 13 July 10 students. 4 boys and 10 girls. We are being sent to a small and less populated hospital with less than a 100 beds including female, male and Pediatric ward. For us, it is the first time we are placed in a district hospital. Not much procedures to do due to all major case will be sent to Seremban. It is very boring since we are use to the busy-ness of a city hospital.










Klawang Township




Jelebu is located 1 hour from Seremban city center. You can take a 1 hour bus fromSeremban Terminal to this small town. The only transport service provider is City Liner. You will find yourself pack in a Sardin Can as soon you get on it. The first stop you will reached Klawang and the bus will stop at Titi. These both stops are in Jelebu itself.










Moving to a small hospital had been a great challenge for us. Especially moving into a small less populated town where even buying vegetables are indeed very troublesome. What more to say finding yourself a HotSpot where you can sit down and load your Facebook. You don't even need to mention about KFC and McD. People here will be laughing when you ask them where is the nearest fast-food store. *Seriously am craving for it* Imagine the finger licking good feeling.....




Okay, back to business.


What people always say:


A smile warmed up a person's day. Especially when it is from the heart.


Working here had been a great and difficult task for us especially when what you learn and practice, everything is in English. Imagine you are placed in a Kampung where people only speak Bahasa Melayu and Hakka. Of course there are still Chinese who can speak Mandarin. Our communication skills drop from "STIHS" to SHITS. But we are all still trying to cope with it.


Learning to speak more fluent and proper Bahasa Melayu takes time. Am sure by the time we learn how to communicate with them well, we had finished our practical.


So what can we do?!




Just

Sincere Smile from 3 races


Smile when you greet them




From a simple "Selamat Pagi Nek" -Translation: Morning Granny until "Nek Saya Jalan Dulu"-Translation: Granny, I leave first . A simple greeting or a simple good-bye, can always makes someone feels so much appreciated. What more to say when you greet them with a smile from a sincere heart. It holds the key to open up a person's heart.




"Insya-Allah adanya dik untuk jaga saya" -Translation: Praise Allah there is you to take care of me.




When this kind words born from a patient's lips, you know you had open their hearts and acceptance towards you. No matter you are Malay, Chinese or Indian. You had already gain their trust.




No matter how hard is it for us to communicate. Sitting down chit chatting with the patient had been one of our duties daily. Trying to get them to communicate with us had not been a hard task. 
The joy of Lunch Break
You should see them laughing without their dentures on. THEY ARE REALLY CUTE!!!!!.Unlike patients who are staying in town. They are always open towards conversation and procedures that are preformed. They never complaint and judge. They are able to give their 100 % trust on you. After preformed. Sometime they are still in pain*example-branula insertion*, they will still say thank you.


I personally feels that I am really blessed by this small town so much. People here are so awesome. Do you?! My fellow mate?!

Undivided

Been so busy as 2012 started. Many things had came and left. Here I am now. Writing what is have I saw, what I had conquered, what had I failed and what had I learned. Time flies. Leaving hometown to Nilai had been two years ago seems like blinking an eye. One year more. One year. Give me one more year. So I can serve human race better.

This post based on my topic above is about what I felt in my heart. I hope people can understand why I chose this instead of the other. People may see things differently. Everyone has their own POV(Point of View).

Child care has been a booming industry since the 70's. Even nowadays government hospitals are recognize for their "Baby Friendly" hospitality. When I mention friendly means it is really friendly. Not the opposite*Just incase*. Well, am sure who are mothers out there are glad to know about this. You can see their motto on the wall of the hospital. Providing friendly service to the baby. That is a good thing.

Babies are cute, sweet and irresistible. They seriously are the most gorgeous "creature" in this human life cycle. They are naive and innocent. When a baby cries, you can see nurses rushing towards them to meet their needs. They will even make silly faces just to make the baby stop crying even they(Babies) are not even fully developed till that extend. Attention and care has been given. All eyes are on them.

But....

What about the old people?! Are they as cute as the babies? As adorable as them?

Am sure you all know the answers from your heart.

Why are they being left out? People always says Old as Gold. Really? Then why are they neglected? Why are there still nurses left them unattended? What's even worst. Yelling at them telling them to shut up. Yelling at them when they can't follow your instruction. This is a very common scene in Malaysia. Student nurse. When they are required to clean up and old sick patient's mess, where are you? You are suppose to provide undivided attention to them. They are often the ones who have been left out. What's even worst. Some patients are left there with their poops in their pants for 1 or 2 days. Imagine that old person is you. How would you feel?

Sons and daughters. Never even think that it is our job to take care of your parents when they are old and sick. They are apart of you. Where you came from. Be grateful. Do visit them once in awhile. Working is hectic. We all know. But please do spend sometime with them. They are not going to be long in this world. Treasure them. Love them. Am sure you will miss them someday if you are still human. They are the ones who raise you up and yet this is how you repay them by putting them in the hospital for weeks?

Old folks are adorable people too. They too have emotions and feeling. Some old people who have Alzheimer they tend to act like a kid. Some even may forget your name. Will you still keep the promise that you made when you are still a kid to take care of them when they are old? Now is the time to fulfilled that vow that you had made. One day your turn will come and you will lie on white pale bed. begging for you children's attention. If you are never a good example, how can you expect them to not be the same like you?Think about it.

What Goes Around Comes Around.

Next time when you visit a hospital or an old folks home. Please do give them a smile or a hug. Am sure from the bottom of their hearts, they know that there are people who still cares for them. Talk to them. Keep them companied. Although they tends to be naggy sometime. Give them attention like how you give to your young ones.

Start making a difference today. You may never know~
