Wound Care

As many people know, I have worked at Paramed for the past 3.5 years. Through my many years there, I have learned a lot about myself. Each of my patients left a lasting impression. I learned something from each patient. I spent most of my time in community nursing with palliative patients and on wound care. Through my time there, I was able to access courses and in-services that would further my knowledge and skill. I was very luck; I got the opportunity to attend the Word Union of Wound Societies Meeting in Toronto this past June. This conference lasted 5 days and was focused on concurrent sessions. The purpose of the concurrent sessions was to allow the 5000 delegates the opportunity to sit in on sessions that interests them. This conference also consisted of an amazing keynote speaker. Stephen Lewis spoke at the conference on the importance of the female and nurses in the world and how amazing they are. I enjoyed his speech so much that when I got home, I went to the book store and purchased his book. This conference only happens every 4 years. I am looking forward to the next conference which is in Japan. I would suggest to anyone who is interested in would care to attend this conference in 4 years.

I selected this video because it reminds us of everything nurses do.

My Favourite Song

I love this song. After my grandparents passed away, I listen to this song to help me get through things. They were my backbone through college. I know that they are with me and will help me through anything. Especially university and life.
