The Nurse Who Can’t Hear

  • Just as Edna was about to become a full-fledged nurse, she discovered that she was losing her hearing. Unable to hear her cancer patients fully, she was faced with the question: Could she still be an effective nurse, or would she do more harm than good?

    What more can a mum asked for? You are a filial daughter and a true nightingale that takes care of patients. I am sure mum is so proud of her daughter and watching over you.

    As a nurse myself, she's truly such an inspiration. I'm really thankful that her nurse manager didn't look down on her just because of her hearing impairment. If not it would have been a great loss to the nursing industry. I hope more and more people can become part of the healthcare team despite having some form of physical impairment.

      Sadly most of the time, nurses are under appreciated. There are doctors look down on nurses. Imagine nurses also have to face violent patients. Theres cases of patients kicked pregnant nurse right at her pregnant belly. Or spit on nurses. Molest. Its tough.

    Edna...you are such a Florence Nightingale. Working so hard as a nurse w hearing loss yet you are so motivated to give yr love to the dying. A great daughter...seeing , caring n loving mum till the end. She' v fortunate to hv such a wonderful daughter but unfortunate to contract cancer.
    I'm a retired nurse. Also loved nursing...so rewarding. I had cancer 3x , colon to liver. After op n chemo i did return to nursing until age 72.
    Going thru chemo...n treated as one of the patient was not easy. We made good nurses esp when you hv gone thru the treatment.
    Pray we hv good dedicated nurses. God bless. Edna wish you good health, happiness, peace n joy.
