Crossroads: A nurse's story (video)

Hs5101 madam chin showed us this video which highlight:
- the clinical nursing environment
- identify nurse's roles and responsibilities
- determine the aspect of nurse's work which causes stress
- management strategies to handle stress

This is a very nice show. I believe most new nurses will go through this "doubt-herself" stage if their "dream" job really is like that when they faces the reality of hospital working environment.

I could understand nurse kate's struggle. I could not control my tears rolling towards the end of the show.
My friend Ruifan, sitting beside me cried as well. We are the 2 emotional ladies in the entire lecture group....

You Can Do it !


If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you're right,
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
it is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a person's will,
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to to be sure of yourself
before you can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go to
the stronger or faster man,
but sooner or later the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can!
