Was that really your essay as in not plagiarized? I like the way you think.

There is more to life. I can't go that extent just to earn money.

I'm a fresh graduate nurse who just finished her clearance today in school. Please, if you have any link or know any available openings needing the service of a nurse, I would appreciate it if you link me up or help me out.

Please, anyone else with links should help a sister

And all the others that used either alternate , new or double handles to post are disqualified.

Ibra010 very good essay, fiction or not, by the way.

Thank you ma for commending my essay. That alone is enough motivation even though your assertion about me using an alternate handle is not really correct.

A friend informed me of the competition and encouraged me to participate. I don't have an account on nairaland and so I was told I would have to wait another seven days before I can post my essay.

This account I am chatting with belongs to someone my friend helped me begged someone to release for me.

I have no alternate account.

My essay is non fiction. I am glad you commended it.

I can't argue against the disqualification. I have accepted your decision.

HOW I SPENT MY HOLIDAYS AND MY GOALS FOR 2020.

I was forced into Nursing, it was never my calling. I tried to fail out of Nursing School countless times but it didn't just work out. Series of prayers from home and my “follow-come uburu akwukwo” (intelligence) won't just let that happen. I forged ahead praying and hoping that one day I will come to love this noble profession, and I did. I am proud to be a Nurse. It couldn't have been any better.

As a student Nurse, I was used to 3 weeks holidays every year, so I never payed much attention to holidays. My last holiday was great. I spent it in the hospital as usual. We celebrate every festive period with our patients.

I rounded up my Nursing Council exam way before the holiday period. I had a short spell of great time with my family, which I can't trade for anything before I resumed for my post council posting in one hospital close to Aso Rock. I resumed some few days after my mates did, and that gave me a very cheap popularity. My presence was much anticipated by the Head Of Nursing Unit and all other associated "in-charges". I was given a punishment of serving night duty for 7days without any off. Normally, l was supposed to have a week off. However, I accepted and started my night duty in good fate.

I enjoyed every bit of it. I worked with a very unique matron who is dramatic, sagacious and weird.
Few days to the completion of my night duty, something very lovely happened. At around 11:50pm, we got a call from the theatre that we have a patient in the recovery room. I went to pick a pretty woman in obvious pain - severe pain. Throughout that night, she was very restless. Her husband was running up and down for her post operative drugs and items. I decided to stay with her as I talked to her while trying to calm her. I gave her mild analgesic as she was on blood transfusion and can't take a strong one. She couldn't recognize me, but in her mild consciousness, she knew someone was with her. I put her to sleep. I felt very fulfilled. Morning came, I rounded up duty.

Next night, as I resumed, I went to her bed side to greet her. She was much better. She looked at me and said, “someone was with me last night. I can't remember who she was. Her hair was packed in a mickey mouse style”. Meanwhile I have packed my hair in a different style. She continued saying, “I have asked my husband to look for her, he said she has gone. Please, I haven't seen a Nurse like that before. Are you the one?”
I smiled and replied, “I am the one Aunty.”
I have never felt so proud as a Nurse.Till she was discharged, she was all over me. I came around, gisted with her and we had so much fun.

I was so happy I touched someone's life and made her see nurses as awesome souls.
She couldn’t forget me so soon as she kept contact with me through calls. I feel so important and unique around her. She became a very special part of me.

I finished my night duty, and resumed in the clinic the next day. But, I was so surprised that the nurses that had an encounter with me in my previous ward spoke on my behalf and I was being relieved 3hours before the normal end of duty. I was very happy that I was good enough to be solicited for.

25th December met me in GOPD, when others were eating chicken in their various houses. I ended my holiday and posting in an antenatal clinic the next week. I had so much fun that can last me a life time - the drama with the pregnant women, the lovely nurses, and midwives I worked with. Everything was just so sweet.

I started my posting on a bad note, and ended as the best "Student Nurse"
I was made “Head Of Unit baby”. All the nurses that I worked with just couldn’t stop loving me.
My passion for Nursing spiked.

I want to be the best Nurse that I can be in 2020...Touching lives in every way that I can.
