Last update date: 2020-07-22 10:29Facing the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the increasing number of confirmed cases, everyone in Hong Kong is in danger. However, there is a group of nurse students who are still struggling and are not afraid to enter the "battlefield" to help the emergency.
A HKDSE student entered the Department of Chemistry at the University of Hong Kong with a score of 27. After entering the workplace, he decided to return to school because of a sense of mission and spend another three years studying, hoping to switch to a career as a nurse. With the same personality, you can do it for 40 or 50 years."

Sense of mission prompts re-entry to campus
Wan Jun was admitted to the Department of Chemistry of the University of Hong Kong with 27 points in the Diploma Examination that year, and worked as a research assistant for two years after graduation. She said frankly that she paid more attention to studies at the beginning and did not consider her career direction when choosing subjects. She saw good results in elective subjects and directly chose the Department of Chemistry. "It turned out that my career choices did not meet my expectations."
Wanjun pointed out that she later discovered that there was a job vacancy in the hospital responsible for synthetic drugs, but after thinking about it over and over again, she realized that she wanted to change the working environment and had a sense of mission to help the emergency. She finally decided to switch careers and has become a part of the Caritas Nursing School. Grade students said, "At that time, when applying chemistry to medical treatment, Yijia helped people face to face."

No fear of "feces, urine, blood, purulent sputum"
Jia Yu is another nurse student, a third-year student in the Nursing School of Tuen Mun Hospital. When she was in middle school, she felt that there was a long way to go. Later, by chance, she participated in a volunteer activity at Tuen Mun Hospital and found that she liked to get along with patients, and then she began to pursue the "nurse dream".
Jiayu said that although the courses are tight and he has to face "feces, urine, blood, purulent sputum" at work, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable when taking care of patients. "Even if it's a simple sentence "Don't take the sun", "morning", I remember. You have a great sense of accomplishment.” During the first internship, Jiayu witnessed the unfortunate death of the patient, tears in his family members, and even fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the nurse on the scene responded quickly and immediately arranged a bed and calmed her emotions so that she understood that the nurse must Resilience, "I thought I could see it on TV first, so I knew something happened in front of me."
During the three years, her internship has spread all over the hospital's internal medicine and surgery, operating rooms, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Although hard work, she has no regrets in choosing: "No entry wrong."

Students generally score 17 points or more
The principal of the General Nursing School of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Zhang Meiyin, said that the three-year higher diploma courses of nursing at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Caritas Hospital and Tuen Mun Hospital each have 100 places. A total of about 2,000 people signed up last year. In the past, students generally scored 17-18 points in DSE. In response to the epidemic, this year's interview will be conducted online instead.
Zhang Meiyin also pointed out that the course focuses on "practical combat." First-year students have already started to practice in hospitals, earlier than other institutions. The number of internship hours for students is higher than the 1,400 hours required by the Nursing Administration. "I believe that You can be a good nurse first."

Two more years of work experience
Zhang said that although it is an advanced diploma course, students have obtained professional qualifications as registered nurses in three years. 80% of students will apply for part-time courses within two years of graduation. After half to two years, they will also receive a bachelor's degree. A degree, "It will have two years (work) experience more than a person...you can start the industry quickly and lay a good foundation."
She also pointed out that nowadays, under the epidemic situation, it is even more obvious that medical staff are facing very high challenges, and they have to face enormous pressure. Students should not only enter the industry manually, but emphasize that "attitude is important" and must have a sense of mission.
