Working in healthcare is something I never expected myself doing, I wanted to be cabin crew for a number of years and then applied for the army inspired by my boyfriend, unfortunately I didn't get in and ended up making the best choice in the world by pestering my boss for a job as a health care assistant in a general practice.
"When one door closes another one opens"
I'm studying Advanced Clinical Healthcare Support at a level 3, something that is so interesting to me, I love physiology and anatomy and learning about the human body. I go on a course for phlebotomy (blood taking) in a few weeks and I am so excited!
I have found something I have a huge passion for. I love caring for my patients and providing them with the best possible standard in health care I can, feel like I can empathise with my patients which makes me the health care assistant I am. For me, personally when you work in health care the job never ends, you don't stop caring for people when you walk through your works doors at the end of the day. If it's not your patients it's your family and friends and I don't think people give doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and auxiliary nurses enough credit for all the hard work they do because they DO-NOT-STOP when works over... They keep caring.
Looking back at my time at school I always enjoyed helping others when they were sad, I didn't just listen to their problems I took them on as my own. I thought about how they must have felt and that helped me give them the best advice. The only problem was it was mentally straining, especially when I had my own issues. I suppose all along I was destined for my job path...
Hopefully one day I will qualify as a nurse and fulfil my dream of specialising in major trauma and help those in critical and possibly fatal conditions.
Health care assistants aren't always given the respect they deserve off nurses and I've often felt looked down upon by people that I went to school with who are doing their nursing degrees, I work with two health care assistants and they both go above and beyond their job roles. I've never met such commited and caring people and they should be so proud of themselves!
Next time you see a Doctor, nurse or anyone else working in health care tell them that they're doing a good job (if they are of course) because it will more than likely make their day... And if you do work in care, a huge well done to you because I understand how difficult it really is!
