We have to prepare all things like alcohol swab(In another hospital still use cotton ball with alcohol),tegaderm(in another hospital use sterille gauze with plaster to close hep canula after inserting), yellow plastic to throw infectious sewage, sharp container to throw needle, etc. And not forget, all actions what contact with body fluid patient should wear unsterille gloves to protect nurse from contagious diseases.

After 1 week stay in dormitory and almost everyday, look for job, I got it. I start work in Islamic Hospital Cakung Jakarta. And also, I have to move from dormitory to rent house near with hospital. I said thanks a lot to dr Ateeka, but Joko still waiting for job. He told me, he ashamed if alone in dormitory, he wants to move also in hir relative. So, we hug each other, but promise to call everytime.

I worked as staf nurse in Medical Ward for economic class. I always hard work to do something. So, all my collegues and my headnurse like me. But, problem come when last month I got salary. I received my salary, but it is not enough, only for rent house. I need for daily living.

I came to director of nursing to ask about my salary, she told me, will ask to salary section. After 3 days, she called me and told, if my salary can't increase until 3 months. Then I called my father in Surabaya, he told me to go back to Surabaya and help him to continue his business.

Me and Joko didn't go to our place, because I just came from Surabaya for my sister wedding and Joko because still sick. He admitted in Persahabatan Hospital. We took permission from dr Ateeka to stay in dormitory until we can get job. She knew, and give us food also.

I took care for Joko after discharging from hospital, but he is nurse also, so no need to full care of him, he can care by himself.

Day 27th - My sister wedding party

2006-12-27T18:20:00.000+03:00

It is time to decide for me, 2 weeks before finishing nursing training, my sister will marry in Surabaya and there is wedding party. So my parents told me to go home for 3 days at least. I took permission from Dr Ateeka and I went home by train.

I met all my big family in this wedding party. They came from Surabaya, Tulungagung, Kediri, Lamongan and Banjarmasin. They asked me, where I work. I told them in Jakarta, because I shy if I told them the truth. Still training without salary, what is this? Maybe they will think like it.

Anyway, my sister wedding party is the biggest party in my family, because this is the first wedding for my parents. Actually, she is younger than me, but its okay for male, no problem even our sister married before us.

Two days after wedding party, I went back to dormitory in Jakarta and join again with all participants for continuing study!

Day 26th - Field Activities

2006-12-26T00:07:00.000+03:00

We got field activities in Islamic Hospital Jakarta in Medical and Surgery Ward for male nurses, and Maternity ward for female nurses. We practice to write nurses notes in English and also make report about our activity as long as in ward. We practice in field for 4 weeks.

It made us like student in our college, because we have to study and practice in front of patient. Our clinical instructors are experience nurses in that wards, but most of them can't speak English, its very difficult, because we want to study English, but they want teach us in Bahasa.

Sometimes we went out from wards, because it impossible for studying practice English if CI can't speak English. So, we complaint to Dr Ateeka as a head of training this program. She promised to selected CI who speaks English well.

Day 25th - Study Arabic

2006-12-25T23:27:00.000+03:00

Beside study English and nursing, we got topics also about Arabic language and Arabic culture. Our teacher is Mr Saleh. He was graduated from Medina University, so he knows very well about it, and every 3 months he goes to Saudi for umroh(Pilgrimage).

He teachs us perfectly, we like him, because he knows participants who understand read and speak Arabic well, intermediate or poor. He divide us as 3 groups. I know how to read Al-qur'an and speak Arabic even not fluently, so I got in well class with another 10 participants. Intermediate class for participants who can read Al-qur'an but can't speak Arabic. And last class for somebody who can't read Al-qur'an.

He teach us also about hajj and umroh(pilgrimages). So,make us more want to go Middle East/Saudi as soon as possible. We want to come in place, what all moslems in the world see if pray(Ka'bah). Pilgrimage to the Ka'bah is incumbent upon men for the sake of Allah, upon everyone who is able to undertake the journey to it.

Day 24th - Study English

2006-12-24T23:15:00.000+03:00

As long as study English in dormitory, not only about nursing, but also grammar, structure, spelling and so on. We listened tape recorder, talk about English song, news, film and so on.

We did English conversation every time, even outside of dormitory. Because we want our English fluently. Sometimes we went to Juanda street, because so many American or European people stay in this place because cheaper hotel. We met them and practice our English there.

We hope pass in our exam, like IELTS or TOEFL. But our teacher, for going to Middle East no need pass IELTS or TOEFL, just pass from written and conversation exam in Nursing. So, grammar not so important, only study about nursing should be!

Day 23rd - Breakfast Problems

2006-12-23T22:08:00.000+03:00

What is our breakfast today? We are not European people who take breakfast only with bread and margarine, we are Indonesians and our breakfast is rice! What is this?
Yeah, today Mrs Lili prepared breakfast not like usually. Actually she want to make variation of food, but all participants didn't like to take. So, she promised will change with another type.

After 2 weeks, again strange breakfast, glutinous rice with coconut. What is this? Nobody want to taste it. Again we complaint to her, since today, she will prepare only rice for us!

We are still in Indonesia madam Lili, so let us eat and enjoy rice for our food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with rice forever.....he he he

Day 22nd - My Friends

2006-12-23T20:39:00.000+03:00

Jamhuri, Sigit, Tika and Mara were worked in Kuwait also, but they already resigned.

She gave us time to go to Taman Impian Jaya Ancol like Dysneyland. We played everything there like childhood, we so happy, eventhough we have to pay by ourselves. Its good travelling for us, because in our city, we don't have this place. And in this place also, we can practise our English with native speaker, because so many Americans or Europeans come in, because there is beach with cottages, seaworld, international standard swimming pool, restaurants, etc.

Acid Reflux Disease

2006-12-15T16:38:00.000+03:00

Acid Reflux Disease or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, commonly referred to as GERD is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up, or refluxes) into the esophagus.

Acid Reflux Disease is a chronic condition. Once it begins, it usually is life-long. If there is injury to the lining of the esophagus (esophagitis), this also is a chronic condition. Moreover, after the esophagus has healed with treatment and treatment is stopped, the injury will return in most patients within a few months. Once treatment for Acid Reflux Disease is begun, therefore, it usually will need to be continued indefinitely.

Actually, the reflux of the stomach's liquid contents into the esophagus occurs in most normal individuals. In fact, one study found that reflux occurs as frequently in normal individuals as in patients with Acid Reflux Disease. In patients with Acid Reflux Disease, however, the refluxed liquid contains acid more often, and the acid remains in the esophagus longer.

Acid Reflux Disease can be a serious problem during pregnancy. The elevated hormone levels of pregnancy probably cause reflux by lowering the pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter. At the same time, the growing fetus increases the pressure in the abdomen. Both of these effects would be expected to increase reflux. Also, patients with diseases that weaken the esophageal muscles, such as scleroderma or mixed connective tissue diseases, are more prone to develop Acid Reflux Disease.

Day 11th

2006-12-11T20:49:00.000+03:00

Every day we go for duty, except Sunday. But, sometimes we have to take overtime, because all workers also go for duty, so one of us will stay in site. If we have overtime, it means will very tired, because morning, still we have to go for duty. Thats way, we told to our manager to give our time until 12 midnight only, not more, because we don't have enough energy to work again.
One month I worked here, I received my first salary. I was surprised, I received only basic salary without allowance and overtime salary like Monchi. I spoke to my manager, he told me, I will get my overtime salary after finishing contract and no allowance for me,wowwwwww, I was so angry and I told to my roommate about it.
They helped me to asked manager about it,wowwwww,not only me got salary like this, so many engineers and one translator also didn't get allowance and overtime salary, so we protested to company. Company told, it is not their policy, they gave same salary and everything for every workers from every countries to our manager, so if there is problem, let us talk with manager, not with them.
So, we tried again to talk with manager until 1 week, but no satisfied decision! Finally, 2 weeks later........

After 4 hours, then bus stopped in one big parking area. Many cars are there, from small car until dump truck. And many restaurants, supermarket and the important one, rest room. Yeah, we can't piss everywhere in Taiwan, so all of us go to piss and nobody go to restaurant for buying, except seeing and touching only, hehehe..........we don't have money yet!
About 1 hour,we were there, then bus gone and stop again not more than 30 minutes from we left that place. Ahaaaaaa.....I know, this is hospital, but why? Because I know if I will work in clinic, not hospital or maybe its big clinic? Anyway, all of us are going down from bus and instructed by Yang come inside hospital. There are 1 doctor and 2 nurses were ready to take our blood, urine and stool. Checking blood pressure, eyes, ears, Chest X-Rays, and so on.
More than 2 hours we were in that hospital, then we come back to bus and go again! I knew,this is part of health examination for all new workers in Taiwan.
This journey really make us tired and boring. I saw my watch, still 3 am when we left that hospital. All of us were sleeping in bus and suddenly bus stopped in one desert only with 2 or 3 buildings are there.
Yang told us to take our luggages, he told us, this is your place to work! I'm so surprise,because I came from second big city in Indonesia after Jakarta and never work in village, but now I will work in abroad but in desert is far away from city! Oh,My God.....help me, please!
We believed this place is ours after someone from Indonesia who already there pick us up in front of the building. He told us, its so early, because time still 6 am. Usually, new group comes at 10 am. What? We will more tired and boring and become crazy in bus if we come like usual, right?
OK readers, later I will continue about my duty in clinic.....

2nd Day-Working in Islamic Hospital surabaya

2006-12-02T16:44:00.000+03:00

Hi readers.....
We meet again today,but Im so sorry,because last night I started night duty,so I can't write better now. Still blank my mind,but I will try to write,ok?
About my job.....
After graduating from Islamic Hospital Nursing Academy on December 1994, I tried to apply in Islamic Hospital Surabaya,thanks Allah, on March 1995 I started as a staf nurse in VIP Room.
VIP room in this hospital has 12 room,so if patient full,means I will care for 12 patients,because each room is 1 patient. We work 3 shifts per day,morning 7am-2pm,afternoon 2-10pm and night duty 10pm-7am. Afternoon and night duty contents 2 nurses(1 male and 1 female) and 1 nursing assistant.
We received all cases in VIP Room,medical/surgical or maternity,because each room will not connect with other room,so no contagious disease or nosocomial infection caused by patient contact.
Im happy to work here,we can give personal care each patient,and sure,patient and family so satisfied because all nurses work as professional. They pay more,because they need satisfication.
About 3 years I worked in VIP Room,then my director of nursing made transfering programme for more than 50 nurses around hospital. She transferred me in Operating Theatre(OT).
I studied and adapted again with new situation here.I can't give personal care anymore to patient,because we work as team. I started as sirculair,worked behind docters and scrubs nurse,if they need something,they will tell me to take from store. Its okey,so I knew everything about OT.
After 3 weeks,they trained me as assistant scrub nurse,Im so happy,because I work directly with them while touching operation patient.
Three months later,I became a scrub nurse and they believe me to assist docters to do small operation,like appendictomy. Thanks Allah.
But......6 months I work as team in OT, my friend came to me to offering job as a nurse in Taiwan.....ahaaa.....yes, my friend knew if I had ever talked him,I want to work in abroad,anywhere....,anyplace.....
So.....

1st Day-Introducing

2006-12-01T16:48:00.000+03:00

Let me introduce my self,ok?
My name is Zulkipli Abdullah Usin(Zulki),I was born in Banjarmasin(South Kalimantan) on 1st January 1972. I live in Mangaf Kuwait and I work as a nurse in Casualty Department in al-Adan Hospital since 2003 up to now.
Im married, I have 1 wife, her name is Fatchatus Solichah(Ika) and I have 2 sons,their names are Syach Iskandar Muhammad(Andar) and Syach Intishar Muhammad(Itsar). They live in Surabaya Indonesia.
What else do u want to know, my readers?
My education,ok?
I started for my formal education on 1977 from Taman Indria Taman Siswa (level Kindergarden) in Tulungagung then following level elementary school in same school until grade 4.
Grade 5 and 6, I continued in Sekolah Dasar Negeri Mergorejo III Surabaya. I was graduated on 1984.
Grade 7 to 9, in Indonesia called by Sekolah Menengah Pertama(SMP), I was graduated on 1987 from SMP Negeri 13 Surabaya.
Then grade 10 to 12,we called by Sekolah Menengah Atas(SMA), I was graduated on 1990 from SMA Negeri 6 Surabaya.
After graduating from SMA, I took examination for medicine student, but failed. I was so dissapointed, so I run away from my big city Surabaya to go to small village in Madiun for studying about Islam,yeahhhhh...even I was born as moslem,but I cant read alQur'an perfectly! Alhamdulillah,about 10 months I was there,I can read it. Then my father called me back to continue my formal education, I was so worried, because 10 months l didnt study about formal education.
I prayed to God,Allah to give me the best choice for my future:Bank,Tourism or Nurse. I have to choice from these,because my father will pay only for 1 subject. After praying, I was sleep, and I showed my self wearing NURSE UNIFORM in my dream......ooohh,thanks Allah,maybe this is the way I have to register as a nurse student.
I was so surprised when i registered in Nursing Academy of Islamic Hospital Surabaya in 1991,more than 600 contestants and 80 students only will pass! OK, I just registered,followed the examination and waiting for the announce after 10 days.
That day,I didnt see the announcement,because I felt i wont pass. After one day only I went to see it,and...my name was there...in announcement board...i can't believe it, I asked so many times to committee,yeahh...they told I passed...thanks Allah.
Since September 1991, I was student there and I was graduated in 1994.
OK readers,that my story, how l become as a nurse up to now.
Do u want another story or ask something about me.........?
To be continued.......
