Ndaive nemakore mashanu pandakabatwa nechirwere che transverse myelitis. Iyo isingawanzoitika yeurourological mamiriro inokonzeresa kuzvimba pamativi ese echikamu chemuzongoza, ichikuvadza tsinga dzemasero maseru uye kukanganisa mameseji anotumirwa kubva kumutsipa wepelinha tsinga kune iyo yese yemuviri semhedzisiro. Kwandiri, izvo zvinoshandura kumarwadzo, kushaya simba, kuoma mitezo, uye matambudziko ekunzwa, pakati pezvimwe nyaya.

Kuongororwa kwacho kwaichinja hupenyu, asi ini ndaive mwana mudiki akatsunga aida kunzwa se "akajairika" sezvinobvira. Kunyangwe ndaive ndichirwadziwa uye kufamba kwainetsa, ndakaedza kuva nhare senge ndaigona kushandisa chinofamba netsvimbo. Zvisinei, pandakazosvitsa makore gumi nemaviri, chiuno changu chakange chave kupera simba uye kuchirwadza. Kunyangwe mushure mekuvhiyiwa kushoma, vanachiremba havana kugona kundidzorera kugona kwangu kufamba.

Pandakanga ndava nemakore ekuyaruka, ndakatanga kushandisa wiricheya. Ini ndaive pazera randaive ndichifunga kuti ndaive ani, uye chekupedzisira chandanga ndichida kunzi "ndakaremara." Kudzoka mukutanga 2000s, iro izwi raive nezvakawanda zvakashata zvekuti, kunyangwe semunhu ane makore gumi nematatu, ndainyatsoziva nezvavo. Kuve "chirema" kwaireva kuti haugone, uye ndomanzwire andaiita vanhu vachindiona.

Ini ndaive nerombo rakanaka kuve nevabereki vaive vekutanga-chizvarwa vatorwa vaiona dambudziko rakakwana ravanoziva kuti kurwa ndiyo yega nzira yekumberi. Havana kunditendera kuti ndizvinzwire tsitsi. Vaida kuti ndiite sekunge vaisazovapo kuti vandibatsire. Kunyangwe sekuvavenga kwandakaita panguva iyoyo, zvakandipa pfungwa yakasimba yekusununguka.

Kubva ndichiri mudiki, ndaisada munhu anondibatsira pawiricheya yangu. Ndakanga ndisingadi kuti chero munhu atakure mabhegi angu kana kundibatsira muchimbuzi. Ndakazvifunga ndega. Pandakanga ndiri sophomore kuchikoro chesekondari, ndakatanga kushandisa nzira yepasi pevhu ndega kuti ndikwanise kuenda kuchikoro nekudzoka nekushamwaridzana ndisinga vimbe nevabereki vangu. "Ini ndakatozoita chimurenga, kusvetuka kirasi dzimwe nguva uye kupinda mumatambudziko kuti ndikwane uye kutsausa munhu wese kubva pachinhu chekuti ndaishandisa wiricheya."

Vadzidzisi uye vanachipangamazano vechikoro vakandiudza kuti ndiri mumwe munhu ane "stereki nhatu" pamusoro pavo, zvichireva kuti sezvo ndiri Mutema, ndiri mukadzi, uye ndakaremara, handife ndakawana nzvimbo munyika.

Kunyange zvazvo ndaikwanisa kuzviriritira, ndainzwa sokuti vamwe vakanga vachiri kundiona semunhu akaderera. Ini ndakapfuura nepachikoro chepamusoro nevadzidzi vachindiudza kuti ini handingaite chero chinhu. Maticha nemachipangamazano ezvikoro vakandiudza kuti ndiri munhu ane “zvitatu zvekuramwa mabasa” zvichivapikisa, zvichireva kuti sezvo ndiri Mutema, mukadzi, uye ndakaremara, handifi ndakawana nzvimbo munyika.

Pasinei nokuroverwa pasi, ndakava nechiono pachangu. Ndaiziva kuti ndaive ndakafanira uye ndichikwanisa kuita chero chinhu chandakaisa pfungwa dzangu — ndaisakwanisa kukanda mapfumo pasi.

Yangu Nzira yekuNursing Chikoro

Ndakatanga koreji muna 2008, uye yaive hondo yekukwira. Ndakanzwa sokuti ndaifanira kuzviratidza zvakare. Vanhu vese vainge vatofunga nezvangu nekuti vaisaona ini— vakaona wiricheya. Ini ndaingoda kufanana nevamwe vese, saka ndakatanga kuita zvese zvandaigona kuti ndikwane. Izvi zvaireva kuenda kumafaro, kunwa, kushamwaridzana, kurara kusvika nguva dzekupedzisira, uye kuita zvese zvaiitwa nevamwe vatsva kuitira kuti ndive chikamu chese chiitiko chekoreji. Zvekuti hutano hwangu hwakatanga kunetsekana hazvina basa.

Ndakanga ndakanangidzira ngwariro pakuedza kuva “nomuzvarirwo” zvokuti ndakaedzawo kukanganwa kuti ndakanga ndine chirwere chisingaperi chose chose. Kutanga ndakarasa mishonga yangu, ndikazomira kuenda kunodomwa nachiremba. Muviri wangu wakaomarara, wakasimba, uye mhasuru dzangu dzairamba dzichipururudza, asi ini ndaisada kubvuma kuti chero chinhu chakange chakashata. Ndakazopedzisira ndave kuregeredza utano hwangu zvekuti ndakanosvika muchipatara ndine hosha yakapotsa yandiuraya.

Ndakanga ndichirwara zvekuti ndaifanira kubuda pachikoro uye kuita zvinopfuura makumi maviri maitiro ekugadzirisa kukuvara kwainge kwaitwa. Maitiro angu ekupedzisira aive muna 2011, asi zvakanditorera mamwe makore maviri kuti ndinzwe kugwinya zvakare.

Ndakanga ndisati ndamboona mukoti muwiricheya-uye ndozvandaiziva kuti ndiko kudana kwangu.

Muna 2013, ndakanyoresa zvakare kukoreji. Ndakatanga senge biology uye neuroscience chikuru, nechinangwa chekuva chiremba. Asi makore maviri ndiri muchidimbu changu, ndakaona kuti vanachiremba vanorapa chirwere kwete murwere. Ini ndainyanya kufarira kushanda maoko-on uye kuchengeta vanhu, sezvakangoita manesi angu muhupenyu hwangu hwese. Vanamukoti vakachinja hupenyu hwangu pandakanga ndichirwara. Vakatora chinzvimbo chaamai vangu pavakange vasipo, uye ivo vaiziva nzira yekundinyemwerera kunyangwe pandainzwa kunge ndaive padombo. Asi ndakanga ndisati ndamboona mukoti ari pawiricheya — uye ndiko kuziva kwandakaita kuti ndiko kudana kwangu.

Saka makore maviri muchikoro changu chebhaibheri, ndakanyorera chikoro chevanamukoti ndikapinda.

Chiitiko ichi chaive chakaomesesa kupfuura zvandaitarisira. Kwete chete kuti iwo makosi aive akaomesesa zvakanyanya, asi ini ndakaomerwa kuti ndinzwe sekunge ndiri wangu. Ini ndaive mumwe wevashoma vatanhatu muboka revadzidzi makumi mapfumbamwe uye ndega ndakaremara. Ini ndaibata nema microaggressions mazuva ese. Mapurofesa vaive vasina chokwadi nezve kugona kwangu pandakapfuura neMakiriniki (iyo "in-the-field" chikamu chekukoti chikoro), uye ini ndakaongororwa kupfuura chero mumwe mudzidzi. Panguva yezvidzidzo, mapurofesa aitaura nezve hurema uye rudzi nenzira yandakaona kuti inogumbura, asi ndakanzwa sokuti hapana chandaigona kutaura nekutya kuti vaisazondibvumira kupfuura kosi.

Pasinei nematambudziko aya, ndakapedza kudzidza (uye zvakare ndakadzokera kunopedzisa dhigirii rangu reBachelor), ndikave RN inodzidzira pakutanga kwa2018.

Kuwana Basa SaMukoti

Chinangwa changu mushure mekupedza kudzidza kubva kuchikoro chevanamukoti kwaive kupinda mukutarisirwa kwakanyanya, uko kunopa kurapwa kwenguva pfupi kune varwere vane kukuvara kwakanyanya kana kutyisidzira hupenyu, kurwara, uye nezvinetso zvehutano zvenguva dzose. Asi kuti ndisvike ikoko, ndaida ruzivo.

Ndakatanga basa rangu somukuru wezvoutano mumusasa ndisati ndapinda mukutonga kwemhosva, izvo zvandaivenga zvachose. Semaneja wenyaya, basa rangu raive rekuongorora zvinodiwa nevarwere uye kushandisa zviwanikwa zvenzvimbo iyi kubatsira kusangana nazvo nenzira yakanakisa. Zvisinei, basa racho raiwanzobatanidza kuudza vanhu vakaremara uye zvimwe zvido zvekurapa kuti havagone kuwana rubatsiro uye masevhisi avanoda kana avanoda. Zvainetesa mupfungwa kuregedzera vanhu pasi zuva nezuva-kunyanya kupihwa chokwadi chekuti ndaigona kuwirirana navo zvirinani kupfuura vamwe vazhinji vezvehutano.

Saka, ndakatanga kushanda nesimba kuti ndiite basa roukoti pazvipatara zvemunyika yose kwandaigona kuita zvakawanda zvokutarisira. Mukufamba kwegore, ndakaita mabvunzurudzo makumi manomwe nemanomwe nemaneja maneja- ese akapera pakurambwa. Ndakanga ndave kutopererwa netariro kusvikira coronavirus (COVID-19) yarova.

Kukundwa nekuwanda kwenzvimbo dzeCOVID-19 kesi, zvipatara zveNew York zvakaburitsa runhare rwevanamukoti. Ndakadaira kuti ndione kana paive neimwe nzira yandaigona kubatsira nayo, uye ndakabva ndafonerwa nemumwe mukati memaawa mashoma. Mushure mekubvunza mibvunzo yekutanga, vakandihaya semunesi wechibvumirano uye vakandikumbira kuti ndiuye kuzotora magwaro angu zuva raitevera. Ndakanzwa senge ndapedza zviri pamutemo.

Zuva rakatevera, ndakapfuura nepakati ndisati ndapihwa yuniti yandaizoshanda nayo husiku hwese. Zvinhu zvaifamba zvakanaka kusvika ndazopinda shift yangu yekutanga. Mumasekonzi mashoma ekuzvisuma, mukoti director wechikwata chakandidhonza padivi ndokundiudza kuti aifunga kuti handikwanise kubata zvaida kuitwa. Nekutenda, ndakauya ndakagadzirira ndikamubvunza kana aindisarura nekuda kwechigaro changu. Ndakamuudza kuti hazvina musoro kuti ndakakwanisa kupfuura neHR, zvakadaro iye ndainzwa sekunge ndakanga ndisingakodzere kuvapo. Ini ndakamuyeuchidzawo nezve mutemo weEqual Employment Opportunity (EEO) wechipatara uyo wainyatsotaura kuti haangandirambe ropafadzo dzebasa nekuda kwehurema hwangu.

Mushure mekunge ndamira zvangu, matauriro ake akachinja. Ndakamuudza kuti avimbe nekwaniso yangu semukoti uye andiremekedze semunhu-uye zvakashanda.

Kushanda Pamberi

Muvhiki yangu yokutanga ndiri pabasa muna April, ndakanzi ndishande somukoti aiva nebasa muchikamu chakachena. Ini ndakashanda pane vasiri-COVID-19 varwere uye avo vaitongerwa kunze nekuda kwekuti vane COVID-19. Vhiki iroro, nyaya muNew York dzakaputika uye nzvimbo yedu yakawedzera. Nyanzvi dzekufema dzaive dzichinetseka kuchengetedza vese vasiri-COVID varwere pane mweya wekufema uye huwandu hwevanhu vaive nematambudziko ekufema nekuda kwehutachiona.

Yaive mamiriro emaoko-on-deck. Sezvo ini, savanamukoti vakati wandei, ndaive neruzivo nemhepo inofemera pamusoro uye nemazita ekutsigira hupenyu hwepamusoro (ACLS), ndakatanga kubatsira vasina hutachiona ICU varwere. Munhu wose ane unyanzvi uhwu chaive chinhu chinodiwa.

Ini zvakare ndakabatsira vamwe vanamukoti kuti vanzwisise magadzirirwo emhepo inofema uye zvairehwa nemaaramu akasiyana siyana, uyezve nzira yekurapa varwere.

Sezvo mamiriro ecoronavirus akawedzera, vanhu vazhinji vane ruzivo rwemhepo inodiwa. Nekudaro, ini ndakafambiswa kune iyo COVID-19 unit apo rangu chete basa kwaive kuongorora hutano hwevarwere uye hutano.

Vamwe vanhu vakapora. Vazhinji havana. Kutarisana nehuwandu hwevakafa chaive chinhu chimwe, asi kuona vanhu vachifa vega, pasina vadiwa vavo vanovabata, yaive imwe mhuka. Semukoti, ndakaona sekuti mutoro iwoyo waiva pandiri. Ini nevandainamata navo taifanira kuva vatarisiri vevarwere vedu uye kuvatsigira mupfungwa sezvavaida. Izvi zvaireva kuti FaceTiming nhengo dzemhuri yavo pavakange vanyanya kusimba kuti vazviite ivo pachavo kana kuvakurudzira kuti varambe vaine tariro kana mhedzisiro yairatidzika kunge isina kunaka - uye dzimwe nguva, vachibata ruoko rwavo pavakafema kekupedzisira.

Basa racho rakanga rakaoma, asi ini ndaisagona kuve ndakadada kuve mukoti. Mhosva padzakatanga kudzikira muNew York, mukoti mukuru, aimbove asina chokwadi neni, akandiudza kuti ndifunge kujoina timu nguva yakazara. Kunyangwe hazvo ndisingade chimwe chinhu zvakare, izvo zvinogona kutaurwa zviri nyore pane kuitwa kupihwa rusarura rwandakatarisana narwo uye rwunogona kuramba ndichisangana narwo pabasa rangu rose.

Zvandinotarisira Kuona Kufambira Mberi

Ikozvino izvo zvipatara muNew York zvine coronavirus mamiriro ari pasi pekutonga, vazhinji vari kurega kuenda kune kwavo kwese kuwedzera kwavo kubhadharisa. Kondirakiti yangu inopera muna Chikunguru, uye kunyangwe ndakabvunza nezve chinzvimbo chenguva yakazara, ndanga ndichiwana runaround.

Kunyangwe zvinosuruvarisa kuti zvakatora dambudziko rehutano hwepasi rose kwandiri kuti ndiwane mukana uyu, zvakaratidza kuti ndine izvo zvinotora kuti ndishande munzvimbo yekuchengetedza zvakanyanya. Iyo indasitiri yehutano ingangove isina kugadzirira kuigamuchira.

Ini ndiri kure nemunhu mumwe chete akambosangana nerusarura urwu muindasitiri yezvehutano. Kubva pandakatanga kugovera ruzivo rwangu pa Instagram, ndakanzwa nyaya dzisingaverengeke dzevanamukoti vakaremara vakapedza chikoro asi vakatadza kuwana pekupihwa. Vakawanda vakaudzwa kuti vawane rimwe basa. Hazvizivikanwe chaizvo kuti vangani vanamukoti vanoshanda vane hurema hwepanyama, asi chii ndizvo zvakajeka kudiwa kwekuchinja mune zvese maonero uye kurapwa kwevanamukoti vane hurema.

Uku kusarura kunoguma nekurasikirwa kukuru kune indasitiri yehutano. Hazvisi zvekumiririra chete; ndezvekutarisirawo murwere. Kuchengetedza hutano kunofanirwa kunge kuri pamusoro pekungorapa chirwere. Zvinodawo kunge zviri zvekupa varwere hupenyu hwepamusoro.

Ndinonzwisisa kuti kushandura hurongwa hwehutano kuti huve hwekugamuchira zvakanyanya ibasa guru. Asi tinofanira kutanga kutaura pamusoro penyaya idzi. Tinofanira kutaura nezvavo kusvikira tatsvuka kumeso.

Semunhu akamborarama nehurema asati apinda mukiriniki, ndakashanda nemasangano akabatsira nharaunda yedu. Ndinoziva nezve zviwanikwa izvo munhu akaremara angangoda kuitira kuti agone kushanda muhupenyu hwezuva nezuva. Ndakabatanidza hupenyu hwangu hwese izvo zvinonditendera kuti ndigare ndichiziva nezvemichina yemazuva ano uye tekinoroji kunze uko kune vashandisi vewiricheya uye vanhu vari kunetseka nehurwere hwakakomba. Vanachiremba vazhinji, vanamukoti, uye nyanzvi dzekiriniki havangoziva nezvezviwanikwa izvi nekuti havana kudzidziswa. Kuve nevashandi vezvehutano vane hurema zvinobatsira kubvisa mukaha uyu; ivo vanongoda mukana wekutora nzvimbo ino. (Nechekuita: Maitiro Ekugadzira Nzvimbo Inosanganisirwa Munzvimbo Yehutano)

Ini ndinonzwisisa kuti kushandura hutano hwehutano kuti ubvume zvakanyanya ibasa guru. Asi isu have kutanga kutaura nezvenyaya idzi. Tinofanira kutaura nezvavo kusvikira tatsvuka kumeso. Ndiko kwatichaita kushandura mamiriro ezvinhu. Isu tinodawo vanhu vazhinji kurwira zviroto zvavo uye kwete kurega vaferefesi vavatadzise kusarudza mabasa avanoda. Tinogona kuita chero chinhu chipi zvacho chingaitwa nevanhu vakasimba—kubva panzvimbo yakagara.
