Like parenthood, the seemingly unceasing, unspeakable joy of nursing the sick is sometimes challenged by the frustrations and countless demoralising events experienced at work. Its a high calling, and one that I am still trying to juggle. So here's my side of the story as a mid-career-switch nurse who conquered my mid life crisis, or so I thought...

Late!
The phone rang at 0706hr and the caller went "Faith ahhh"!!! Yes, for the first time in my nursing career, I overslept for morning shift!!! After washing up and some light makeup, I hailed a cab (waited for quite a while) and eventually showed up in the ward at 0750hr. Thank God for the gracious charge nurse (Sudha) who, despite being heavily pregnant, stood by the cubicle and receive the morning report on my behalf so that the night shift nurses can go home on time. Thank you so much!!! This is another of my 'first time' to remember.
