“We need to be in Hilton Street. There is an accident and many are injured.” Our Head Nurse, Nurse Moriah is alarming us.

"Yes, Nurse Moriah!" We responded promptly.

We get our first-aid kit and boarded at the ambulance.

I am Nurse Namie. Namibia Rinehart is my full name. I love being a nurse apart from when I was a child it was my dream, because my parents also disappeared due to an accident.

I was young when that happened. We were together in our car when we accidentally bumped into a large tree. I was obviously wounded and my Mommy and Daddy were bleeding too. They were both unconscious and I was seeing them very blurry. But I did nothing. I was too young and to too innocent that time.

If I only knew about first-aid I might have saved them. And maybe now they are still with me.

So I promised myself that I would help others to prolong their lives. First aid can do a lot in a person's life.

It does more than help save lives.

It will give us tools to prevent the situation from getting worse.

It will help the patient feel comfortable.

It generate confidence to care for others.

We would live safely and healthy.

I quickly got off the ambulance when we arrived at the location. A van collided with a car. Either of them seemed to be running fast so the damage was severe.

There were four people in the van, which my companions went to immediately.

My attention goes to the car. There are also people inside.

“Nurse Audrey, help me! There are two people in the car! ” I informed my co-nurse.

"Let's go! I will take care of the driver. ” Said Nurse Audrey and acted quickly.

I went to the man in the backseat. His face was bloody. And I almost did not recognize how he looks like.

I held his hand to see if he still had a pulse on his wrist but I suddenly let his hand go.

Why is it like that?

Why did a strange electricity seem to flow through my body when I touched him?

My heartbeat also quickened at this unexpected opportunity.

Namie, this is not the time for you to flake off. Save him! I commanded myself.

And again I checked his pulse. He is alive! Thank God, he is alive!

I quickly ordered the men to put him in the ambulance and we rushed back to the hospital.

The patient's blood pressure is high. He needs to be seen by a doctor because he may have a cardiac arrest.

When we got to the emergency room, the doctor immediately checks on him.

"Take him to the Operating Room." He ordered.

I could do nothing but be left outside because I was not assigned to the Operating Room to assist the doctor.

I hope he will be fine. I hope he survives.

Why am I nervous? I do not even know that person. Why do I care for him this much?

But I regularly pray that he would survive. I really hope he can make it.

Nurse Moriah, Nurse Audrey and Nurse Scarlett and I ate together when our duty was over.

“What happened is terrible! Fortunately, nobody died. ” Exclaimed Nurse Moriah.

"The guy in the car, was his operation successful?" I suddenly asked.

Hopefully it is successful. I pray again while waiting for an answer.

“The passenger of the car? He is no longer in the hospital.” Nurse Moriah's announcement.

“Nurse, where is he? At the funeral home? ”Nurse Audrey asked abruptly.

“Savage, Nurse Audrey! He was taken to another hospital. A foreigner doctor treated him. He was taken to a famous and expensive hospital. ” Nurse Moriah's explanation.

I smiled! It is like an antidote to my tension. And at least, he is safe and being treated.

I felt so strange when I held that man's hand. I could not stop the odd current that enveloped my body.

I felt that I have a connection with him even though I do not really know him. What could that be?

Back in the hospital…

"Hi, Nurse Namie!" Dr. Wyatt greeted me.

“Hello, Dr. Wyatt. Do you need something? You need my assistance?" I also smiled at him.

"Nothing! I want to see you to be recharged. I have an operation later! ” he said with a bright face.

“Good luck with your operation! You can do it." I am encouraging him.

Then he left for his scheduled rounds for the patient.

“Why don't you give Dr. Wyatt a chance? ” Nurse Audrey saw that we were talking.

“What chance? Dr. Wyatt is not flirting with me. ” I refused.

“Are you that insensitive, Nurse Namie? You do not realize that he wants you! He looks at you differently. ” And she went back to the Nurses ’Station.

“You know, I don't want to have a relationship with someone! I don't want commitment and I don't want complications. ” As I followed her.

“Why are you so afraid of the future, Nurse Namie? You cannot just run away all the time. ” Nurse Audrey's simple advice.

“I know! Maybe Dr. Wyatt isn't the right one for me. He is not the man I want to be with. I do not want him to expect anything from me. I do not want him to get hurt because of me. He deserves the best lady!” My long litany.

“Let us just wait when will Cupid shoots your heart. No matter how you stop it, no matter what issues you have, you will fight for it just to be with him! ” Nurse Audrey smiled because she thought of her boyfriend.

I am not in a hurry for love. I believe there is a right time in all situations. I am focus with my job. I do not want anything to hinder me from serving people.

I am happy to be alone. I am glad I do not have a headache.

I do not want to fall inlove.

I do not want to be left behind again.

I do not want to be hurt.

For me, love is a complicated thing.

You will fight even on nonsense matters!

You will find out things you don't like about each other.

It is not true that love is like you are in a cloud and floating.

Love is full of sacrifices.

Full of commitments.

Full of comprehension.

Full of patience.

Full of complications.

So I don’t want love!

I don't want to be forced to be someone else just to be deserving for the person I love.

And I also do not want to change him just so we can get along.

I am a nurse! I also love a lot of people. My patients. I love them and I will take care of them until they are healed. I love my co-workers. I love my cousin, Avery.

I am inlove in a different way!
