A Day in the Life Where Compassion Meets Chaos
The buzz of the alarm at 6 a.m. jolts me awake, fear fluttering in my stomach-memories of a patient who coughed up blood and died despite our best efforts. I dress in riding tights and my "Ride Like a Girl" sweater, putting on the silver heart necklace from my husband. Biking the two miles to the hospital through the cold November morning, I worry about the constant nursing dilemma: sounding alarms too soon or too late. Like Hemingway's middle-aged waiter who keeps a cafe open for those needing sanctuary, the hospital serves as "a clean, well-lighted place" offering shelter from life's storms. The floor is quiet as I arrive three minutes late, my small act of rebellion. Night-shift nurses cluster at the station, exhausted but alert. I learn about an ICU transfer overnight and devastating news: Ray Mason, a 25-year-old firefighter and musician I'd had coffee with last month, has relapsed with leukemia. Today I'm assigned three patients: Richard Hampton, an elderly lymphoma patient; Dorothy Sooth, a cheerful leukemia patient nearing the end of her six-week stay; and Sheila Field, a woman with a blood clotting disorder. Having only three patients means I can provide proper care rather than treating them as "human to-do lists"-a rare luxury in a system where overloaded nurses lead to preventable deaths.
