I'm a thirty-five-year-old woman and I work as a nurse. I've done so for the last ten years now. I know I doubt it's a career that you can really relate to, being a literary expert and linguistic YouTuber, but it feels like we live in entirely different worlds altogether, although apologies if I'm wrong. Now, maybe you have family who worked in the profession, and I'll admit I'm not a diehard regular viewer, but I love it when your videos come on autoplay and actually help me sleep. Some friends of mine encouraged me to email this story in, so I hope I'm making the right call in doing so. And I think it was scary as H. E. double hockey sticks anyways. So this story takes place when I was twenty-five.
Unknown 1:57
I had already done a degree, so I was on a fast track program at nursing school, a little two-year qualification. Now this meant that there was a lot of the on-the-job training early on, which suited me just fine. I've been in school since I was like four years old, and I was eager to put the books away and start emptying bedpans or inserting suppositories into people's butts. And maybe the whole sometimes saving people's lives things. I don't know, I forget why I got into the profession. Now, anyways, as a part of my training, I was required to spend two months working on a number of different wards. Really, they just wanted to toughen us up and throw us into the Deep end. I'd already done a stint in the pediatric floor, an oncology floor, and a burns unit.
Unknown 2:42
Now, it was absolutely insane, particularly the burns unit, honestly, and I'm pretty sure I could spend a whole story talking about what various types of burns do to the human body, and I would traumatize your listeners more than half the serial killer of stalker stories did that they might have heard. Now I was pretty relieved when my next assignment seemed like the administration were giving me a break. Now I was set to spend two months working on a coma ward. I mean, okay, yeah, this was emotionally pretty devastating, but it was pretty different from consoling a guy whose face had been permanently disfigured by an electrical fire and whose nerve endings would never, ever stop reminding him of this fact, let alone the visual aspect.
Unknown 3:27
But just thinking about it now, and this one guy in particular, it honestly breaks my heart, and I'm not going to talk about him or even think about it. Instead, let's talk about comatose people. And the majority of these comatose people were old. We had some younger people, but the bays that I was assigned as a junior trainee consisted of old men and old women. Now this coma floor was surprisingly busy because during the day there were a lot of visitors. And this surprised me, as you always hear about loved ones being abandoned since they'd been in a coma for a long time, but maybe it's something to do with the area that I live in. Almost every coma patient had visitors almost every day. And then there was the cleaning, the massaging, the daily care.
Unknown 4:11
Now, it was pretty chill work, but hard and important work at the same time. And after a week, I was asked if I could cover the night shift for three nights. And of course I said yes because the night shift on a coma ward is honestly notoriously quiet, and I had a bunch of studying to catch up on. There were only three of us on shift during that three-day block. And I think there was supposed to be a fourth nurse, but they had actually calling in sick and I never saw him.
