Beautiful!!

“I once belonged to underclass family and I have seen real poverty during my childhood. I could go to school with an empty stomach, no shoes and even without applying body lotion. The only way I thought I will fight the poverty was through attaining education and then a good job, but how can one learn when she or he is hungry, only God knows.
I recall my standard 4 teacher asked me one day, what I wanted to become of when I grow up. Boldly I replied that I would like to be a Nurse. Then I was there in standard 6, embracing my dream of becoming a nurse, I wondered how and when? I asked my teacher what it takes for one to become a nurse and she told me that I have to pass and go to secondary school, and later pass MSCE again so that I go to a nursing training college where I will be trained as a nurse. She added that for me to pass through all these stages, I MUST work very hard.
From that time, I told myself that no matter what circumstance that may come on my way I will try my best level to work hard and be a nurse. During my secondary school time, I concentrated on science subjects since you cannot study nursing without the knowledge of science subjects. By God's grace, I was selected to study not only "nursing" but 'Nursing and Midwifery" at one of the nursing colleges. By then I had started living my dream. I loved what I was studying and because of this I was nominated as best student nurse at the clinical area. I enjoyed the course very much, especially the midwifery part such that when I qualified I told my boss at the hospital to work in the maternity unit. I love attending to pregnant women and babies, by the way please don’t ask me why. I must say that I’m proud to be part of the established profession that puts caring for people at the core of everything and I have never regretted my decision. You have to love the midwife in me.”

I have been following this. My first reaction was disbelief, anger etc but I dug deeper before saying anything. THIS WAS WRONG.

Bottom line, the nurse was doing her job. She should not have been arrested while taking care of and advocating for an unconscious patient. That is what nurses do! She even had her policy in her hand and explained calmly to the Officer the dilemma at hand!

It looks like the Officer who made the arrest and the the one who commanded the arrest need additional training in many aspects of their job to include case law, ethical dilemmas, intra-and inter- disciplinary communication etc

Nurses and Police Officers have tough jobs and they often collaborate effectively in the ED to save lives, provide care to even the worst criminals while respecting human dignity, but still keeping the public safe. This instance represents the worst exception of this reality and should truly never have happened.

Keep in mind this happened in July 2017, this is September 2017. This issue should have been dealt with immediately.
