provide the best possible care to the clients. Despite this situation of our country, I
The webinar organized last May 25, 2022 by the sophomore nursing students
of Visayas State University, has allowed me to see the nursing world from a new
healthcare system abroad and in our country. In the United Kingdom for example --
where the speaker Ms. Durog works -- has hospital equipment that I have not seen
or heard of before. Despite working in a public hospital far from the capital of the
United Kingdom, Ms. Durog used technologies very advance for me which are very
helpful in the efficiency of the nursing workflow. Those technologies they used in the
United Kingdom shows how advance the healthcare system in other countries are
compared to ours. In the Philippines, most of our task are done manually: written
notes, record, etc., and this takes time because we don’t have the equipment to use.
This shows how our country is behind in terms of technologies and this is
disheartening for me. As a future nurse, I believe that our country must integrate
informatics in our healthcare system department because it is very timely with our
seminars and training among healthcare professional to keep them abreast and well-
The takeaway points that I gained from the activity is that working abroad or in
large hospitals where advanced technologies are present is indeed scary and
exhausting. But not because fear is present means that we must not dare to
experience it. As nurses or future nurses we should have courage in trying new
things if it means doing so will help us grow as professionals and servant leaders.
The webinar we attended was very informative and interactive. Everyone had the
chance to address their inquiries and all questions answered by the speaker. The
interaction and information I gained from our honored speaker Ms. Durog, indeed
allowed me to have a peek at the reality within the nursing workplace. The things
that I learned from that webinar range from the different healthcare technologies,
training required before working in big hospitals, struggles in working abroad, and
the different ways to cope with obstacles present in the nursing world.
learned a lot from the speaker and I motivated to do more to achieve competence in
this field.
