Nursing and My Jesus
I
am asking God, why put me in the Nursing? I have grown with many cases that
made me have low confident and pride in every inch of my body. Nursing is
something place that many people underestimate it, especially because I was a boy.
Why don’t put me in the place that I can grow my pride? So, I think this is a
mistake that I have put in nursing.
Suddenly
I think about something that God want to teach. I try to open my mind and see
what lesson that and I find that nursing little bit look like my life with
Christianity. In the world that I live, Christianity is something that people
will see with many face. Lot of people will see it with full of contempt, other
with hatred, and many miss understanding about Christianity. In that world, I
live with ashamed. I fear that people will know me if I am Christian (stupid).
If
I see, nursing same like that. Many people have miss understanding and look
down to it. With this entire circumstance I have low pride as a nurse and more
complex because in people mind nursing only for girl. I always fear if people
know me is a nurse (stupid).
Let’s
compare again between Christianity and nursing. I know, only in Jesus there are
truth and salvation, but what are the comparison that with nursing? Let’s skip
about that. Christianity call us to be a servant that serve people with love,
patient, kindness, goodness and all we have to show God love to them through
us. Nursing call us to serve (may be this is controversial word) people to help
them pass away their sickness. So, they can face their sickness with more
comfortable (may be not really related). Christianity teaches us to serve with
compassion. Nursing teaches us to be professional empathy not sympathy (still
confuse between empathy and sympathy and someone has said to me because I am
Christian nurse, so must do it with more than professional or that call
compassion). People think nursing only for a girl not place for man to play.
How about Christianity? I think in all of man mind, go to church and be real
Christian is only for girl (stupid idea because if Jesus come, He will only
save a girl. I can’t imagine it). Man will say this is wrong but in honest they
will agree if Christianity is not for a real man. Really, I don’t think so. Be
real man is be Christian. So, be real man is be Nurse (lol, I can’t imagine
it).
Christianity
teaches me to love, accept and do the best for other even they hate, reject and
hurt me. Nursing teaches me to serve with the best although the patient gives
really bad response. You can’t imagine how change people when their sick.
In
Christianity, when you do something, do it like for God and don’t look for reward
from a man. In Nursing, don’t hope someone will honor you. You will be in pain
and suffer if hope about honor (this is in my place).
Christianity
said to do the right, not just a good thing. In Nursing, you will in suffer
when try to do the right same like in the world that I live. I mean suffer
because will need all what you have in integrity, confident, spirit and all strength.
When you learn about Nursing you will face many thing that not right in the
real life (I mean in the hospital as a nurse not student nurse). For this is I
can say Christianity and Nursing are one thousand percent same.
In
the world or may be the right word is country that I live, Christianity have
major disadvantage from government as like as Nursing. But, for a real,
government actually needs Christianity to help them reach the remote. With
spirit to tell about Jesus, Christianity goes to remote areas. How about
Nursing? Nursing is the cutting edge of health although government lookdown to
us.
More
I try to compare, more look so same between Christianity and Nursing. For a
real, this is the outpouring of the heart of someone who struggle with his job
(someone say it is a calling) as a nurse. In the end like what Paul said in
Colossians 3:23 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and
not unto men” (King James Version). So, if you are a
man and nurse and Christian, do the best for your job. God why must me?
