Nurses play a central role in healthcare and were instrumental in helping the author during their surgical residency. When the author first started, they had no accommodations and struggled, but the nurses cared for them by sharing food. A nurse also taught the author how to properly insert IV cannulas by feeling the veins, which helped the author learn an important clinical skill. Nurses provide crucial non-surgical care from basic tasks to complex procedures. Their dedication to patient care and support of doctors is what truly defines treatment and recovery for patients. The author will always be grateful to the nurses who took the time to teach them.

Nurses The pillar of Health Care System I joined, my first year of residency, Surgical Residency, Oh My God No Hostel, No Room, No bath, No cloth, occasionally you eat, Occasionally you laugh, - work work and work. With hope, one day, you will become a great surgeon, that sounds more of hypothetical. I still remember the murmuring from nurses when I Entered in the Nurse's room to take some blood requisition forms "New resident, first-year, joined a few days back" one staff nurse informing to In-charge nurse. She asked "how does he work". The Nurse replied "Oh, he lives here only". I was listening murmuring and went away like unheard. I realized the first-year resident has no value in the hospital. On the same day- the same Nurse entered the ward around 6 pm with her kits for medication, came near to me and asked "doctor, had lunch". Looked at her with some compassion nodded my head -no" she said come to Nurses room we had snacks for you. I was happy, at least someone cares. With due course of time it was like a team, and my residency becomes a more memorable time of my life. For a doctor complete medical, ethical, professional, social knowledge is essential to understand the illness starting from dressing sense to complex treatment or surgeries to ethics. So, I was ready to learn everything possible. One day, I got a patient of chemotherapy the first month of my residency, not able to localize the vein over 20 minutes of search, even I put cannula twice in my internship, it was 8:30 pm a nurse entered ward "leave it, let me try" she said. I left the patient's arm she put the cannula in a single attempt without wasting much time. One thing I realized something starts from perception, go with difficulties and end up with the solution. I requested her to teach me how to put the cannula in such patients. She said on veins, don't rely on their visibility, feels them soft, fluctuant, filled veins, where you go. Within a few days I became a master in putting cannula. She was thrilled when I put the cannula the day she failed. Nurses are the central pillar of the hospital, more of non-surgical skill I learned from them.
Nurses The pillar of Health Care System Starting from breakfast to evening snacks, putting cannula to duly scrubbing for surgery, scoldings from the wrong use of a biomedical waste bag to scolding proper donning, coming with extra chapatis for us to hosting parties in the hospital. Sometimes discussion related corrupt Indian Medical System and Politics, fighting for nurses doing less work, finally accepting your work means a lot for us. Discussing most corrupted doctors in the hospital makes residency memorable. I think this must be common in all hospitals, especially in India and maybe globally. Proper Nursing care defines the treatment of the patient; 80 per cent nursing care, 10 per cent family support, 10 per cent clinical decision of the doctors gives patients life back to society. In the ICU, more thousands of specific actions are required to come out from there and to the community. Nursing work is unremarkable; we appreciate, the dedication, stamina, tolerance, support, care, and sacrifices. I have seen a few doing excellent work in the nursing field, taking the profession on their shoulders. I expect from everyone work together and make our country, profession, parents proud. I will always be thankful to them, who teaches me and teaching me.
