For
@doverparkhospice Nurse Manager Quek Yanting, becoming a nurse was a calling. Being a jovial person, she had always dreamt of being an emcee or a theatre artist. But after she had enrolled into the nursing course, she realised that it is a noble and meaningful profession.
Yanting recalled a particular incident where a stranger on the street called out to her: "I was on my way home after work, suddenly an old man started calling out for me while chasing after me in his bicycle. I stopped walking and he started thanking me. At that moment, I was clueless and thought he was just a random passerby. Later, I gathered that he was actually the husband of a patient I cared for a year ago."
Yanting was pleasantly surprised by the encounter, and it gave her a great sense of job satisfaction. It also reminds her of the purpose that she brings as a nurse.
