In Europe, every nurse and health worker, as well as many public workers, must complete three main trainings before starting their job. They also need to refresh their training yearly or every few years.
These trainings are:
1. Fire Safety Training 2.
Manual/People Handling
3. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

This teaches how to prevent fires, respond to them, and evacuate safely. Shouting "blood of Jesus" or "Holy ghost fire" is because we're not trained and we don't have facilities to fight or prevent simple fires.
It includes:
1. Fire Prevention:
Recognizing fire hazards and safely storing flammable materials.
2. Fire Response:
Knowing how to use fire extinguishers and when to fight a fire or evacuate.
3.Emergency Evacuation Procedures:
Understanding alarm systems, escape routes, and practicing drills.
4. First Aid and Emergency Response: Basic care for burns and helping others during an evacuation.
5. Legal Compliance:
Knowing local fire laws and the roles of fire wardens. This training is essential in places like workplaces and schools to reduce fire-related injuries and deaths by ensuring everyone knows how to act quickly and safely during a fire.

Manual handling, or people handling when moving individuals, involves transporting or supporting loads using hands or body strength. This includes actions like lifting, carrying, and moving a person from one place to another, such as from a bed to a wheelchair.
Key Points
1. Risk Assessment: -
Evaluate the task for risks like weight, distance, and awkward positions. - Consider the environment, including space and floor conditions.
2. Proper Techniques: -
Use correct lifting methods to avoid in

How Indian Nurses behave
A simple true life observation
๐. ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ ๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

The Indian Nurses are usually in very large numbers wherever they are. I think they'd usually be greater in numbers than people of any other nationalities, except the indigenous people.
I've observed that in most Hospitals, rehabilitation centres and especially nursing homes in Europe, you'll find Indian Nurses in large numbers occupying top management positions. As heads of departments and units. There are times one would notice that in a shift, almost an entire Hospital or unit is manned by Indian staff.

Another easily observable thing is how UNITED these Indian Nurses could be anywhere they are. They quickly identify a newbie from Indian and immediately strike a conversation, usually in their local language. This makes the new comer to feel free and comfortable. The bonding begins and they soon form a small community sharing information and knowledge (Indians nurses don't hoard information from each other).

They respect each other a lot. Even when someone among them doesn't understand a thing, they take time to explain it,because they know that the system is different from what is done in India. This behaviour helps the new arrival to be grounded in knowledge especially in the ward or department. I've never seen an Indian nurse abusing another Indian or talking down on them. Even when an Indian colleague makes a mistake, they quickly correct it and then tell the person how to avoid such mistakes. They can sacrifice for each other.
4. Hardworking And Meticulous
I think that these people are hard
HOW MUCH MONEY?
Dear nurses, when you go for a job interview and you're asked HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO BE PAID, don't undersell yourself.
Don't stammer about tge big amount you think your service is worth.
If you think you're worth $1 million, say it.
Do not be that nurse that is scared of losing out and sells short.
Don't be that nurse that sells herself for pennies and later begins to regret why she accepted the offer at such a ridiculously low pay.
Be the nurse that is satisfied and happy at the end of every month or week because you are getting the kind of pay cheque you want.
Fact is, that you quoted a very low amount doesn't guarantee your employment. It could sometimes cost you the opportunity.
Know your value and get what you want.

It's a thing of pride to be the first. To give the world a simple solution to a big problem.
The world's First Subcut Injection was given here!
This is Meath Hospital today, also known as Meath Community Unit.
The world's first hypodermic or subcutaneous injection was given here.
Subcutaneous administration of medication was invented in this place.
It was here that a Dublin surgeon called Francis Rynd invented the hypodermic needle and used it to administer the first anaesthetic to treat trigeminal neuralgia on June 3,1844.
The patient was Margaret Cox.
The Hospital is on Heytesbury Street was internationally renowned as a great centre for medical training and research.
Many innovations were pioneered there, but arguably the most important was Rynd's technique for injecting substances directly under a patient's skin.
Rynd died in 1861. He was aged 60.
