Have you ever been in a situation that you wanted something so badly and at the end you don’t get it. Jus imagine that feeling. You feel that you may have failed and you start feeling devastated. Sometimes we even feel like giving up. I was in that situation recently and let me now relate to you that experience of mine. As part of my clinical posting in my Advance Diploma course,  I have to hit the target of 20 Normal vaginal Deliveries in almost 6 weeks. One may think that its easily achievable but there are days when we can’t hit our target. I was quite depressed but I realised that actually I have done my best. I went to work early , I stayed back after work, my colleagues helped me and despite of all my efforts I was still struggling to actually get a delivery . Is this end of the road? NO… Some will say its luck and some its time. But for me I have done my best and will continue to do my best. These feelings keep me going and I am confident I will achieve my target. If you can relate to any part of my situation then always remember NEVER GIVE UP and JUST DO YOUR BEST. All the doors will open for you, not today but surely tomorrow.

Hi everyone!

Hope all of you are doing fine. My humble appologies for not writing earlier as I was extremely busy preparing for  my Advance Dip final exams. Well, all went well, I hope,  and I realised how important a little dose of stress is, in one’s  life. But, excess of anything is bad and the same goes for stress too.  That small dose of stress kept me going during the exams and I am contended with how i performed. I personally feel that if we do not have this stress in our lives ,things tend to be taken lightly and progression would be minimal. To draw an analogy, we won’t be stopping at traffic lights and will be parking at double yellow lines if we do not have to worry about the possible imposition of fines…) In Nursing, the stress of being audited for our work, keeps us motivated to follow Standard operating procedures ( SOP ) so that we are constantly kept on our toes in our work. I must agree that different people cope and react differently to stress. But if we all agree, that small amount of stress is needed for us to move on in our life ,it will prepare us better to embrace changes and we nurses will be more prepared for the upcoming challenges in our work .
