Personal Narrative: Here We Are In The Hospital
Here we are in the hospital. I’m so excited. Today is the day that I’m getting a little sister. Everyone is excited. Presents cover every surface of the hospital room. There’s everything from buzzy bees - to the new Barbie Rapunzel
Nearly 15 years ago.

You and Mum came home 2 days later. You were wrapped up in a pink knitted blanket that Grandma had made just for you. Dad was cooking my favorite. Chicken nuggets. My new crayon drawing was already proudly hung on the fridge. The fire blazing. Vaillia aroma filled the room.

    The ER waiting room smelled stale. Sick babies and toddlers were crying, waiting to see a doctor. My brother was laying on the tan tiled hospital floor. He was shaking terribly as the antibiotics from the previous hospital wore off and the infection set in more. Both of his hands were red and swollen. His right hand, had a black mark from where the IV initially infected. His left hand was swollen to the size of a small balloon, kind of like a blown up rubber glove I used to get from the doctor when I was younger. My mom took her jacket off to cover him. His skin was hot to the touch but he was still freezing. His fever was 101.2 but there were no open rooms in the ER at our second attempt at a hospital. We had to get him antibiotics…

    On my first day of clinical ride time after we dropped off our first patient at the hospital and had given turn over I asked Bruce, “Do you ever wonder what happens after we leave?” He gave me a shrug and a knowing smile replying, “Sometimes but you will get used to it.” To me it felt unfinished. What was going to happen to the patient, would they be admitted, would they be sent home, what would their quality of life be? As an EMT these questions have always intrigued…

    Phoebe always gave the nurses that visited me a terrific time, which ended up having the nurses take care of me like i was the president. She left her latest story on my bedside table. Hazel Weatherfield got shot in the leg, but still somehow managed to fend off a mob of gangsters with an empty revolver. Of course, I found that impossible. My mother eventually to see me, along with the Phoebe and D.B. We had a long talk, and I don't feel much like talking about it. I remember she started crying at one point. I got up and gave her a hug. D.B. and Phoebe joined in quick. It was the least phony thing you could imagine. I told her that everything would be fine, and that we were all here, Allie too. That made her smile. She looked me in the eyes then kissed me on the cheek. She was still crying, but I swear they were tears of joy. What troubled me though was that Dad wasn't there. He's never there for these rare moments. That worried me a little bit. I felt like I should have worried about it, or at least pretended to worry about it, but I didn’'t. Come to think of it, Dad is hardly on my mind nowadays. He's on my mind even less that he used to be when we were normally together, and that was pretty low. Don't ask me why, because I can't explain…

    August 20, 2008. Miramar Hospital. My little brother, Andres, came into the world. I was only about 7 years old when he was born, so little did I know what I was getting myself into. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a big sister - especially to a little brother. My dream was to help him out with homework, play with him outside, and watch cartoons together while drawing. Everything went as planned as I watched cartoons with my new brother in the hospital. I wanted to play games with him, but my mother said, “Dani, he’s too young. He’s too tired from his long nap. Give him a year and he’ll be ready to play.” With that, I waited until I was older to play soccer.…

    While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…

    One of the worst injuries that has ever occurred to me was having my fingers burned by extremely hot water. It was a cold, dark day at 7:31pm, and it was just me, my older brother, Gideon, and my younger brother, Theodore. I was 9 years old, Theodore was 2 years old, and Gideon was 12 years old. Every day I would drink some hot tea, because I tended to be extremely sensitive to the cold. And when I say sensitive, I am talking about that if I was drinking regular temperature water, I would be shivering probably throughout the rest of the night. Gideon was doing homework at the basement, while Theodore was sleeping in my parents’ bedroom. I was making myself some hot tea, when I accidentally poured hot water on my hand for 2 seconds. Now 2 seconds seem like nothing, but when something like…

My enthusiasm for nursing first took root and flourished after losing my father. My father became very ill and needed medical care.

It was from that moment on I began to realize a desire to engage in a profession that focused on the area of helping sick people. After losing my father I made the initiative to start a new direction in my life to pursue a career in healthcare. So I decided to become a surgical tech to test my interest. After completing my certification, I was able to do a lot of hands-on work with sick…
