On this specific morning as I was driving to work I passed in a nearby neighborhood and there was a woman who was in labor about to give birth and no one was willing to help her get to the hospital. I pulled over my car and rushed her to the hospital where I worked as a nurse and volunteered to be part of the team that will deliver the baby safely. I shared the experience to my colleagues and the manager about how I ended up bringing the woman to the hospital, following this incident that had happened on that same morning the manager asked some of us to get to the neighborhood and share information by volunteering to teach the community about how to deliver a CPR during an emergency, (Lin, et.al, 2018). The community was also taught about the importance of saving lives regarding pregnant mothers through the organized community health event by the San Francisco hospital.
During that week I felt that the CPR skills being delivered to the community was a special action that meant a lot to me because it is a lifesaving skill that should be shared with many populations. Saving a life as a nurse is my priority without even being present on the scene and at times the paramedics can delay during an emergency, (Kuule, et.al, 2017). Throughout my coursework, I learned that nurses should make patients’ safety a priority using the holistic approach which means being a volunteer nurse to serve people means a lot to the overall health of the entire community.
