But she wants to do more.<br /><br />“I’ve been actually going back to school,” she says, “to upgrade and improve my knowledge and skills.” The hospital is contributing to the costs, which is a big help. “I’ve been motivated, and I’m still motivated to help patients so that they get better.” <br /><br />Working in the ultrasound unit, Monica recently discovered that a woman had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, which she knew to be an extremely dangerous and life-threatening condition. Monica moved quickly to get the woman into surgery, and a disaster was averted. “The following day,” she recalls, “all these people [at the hospital] were really happy that I managed to find it out and that the patient was helped.”</p> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-authoring-information"><div class="field field-type-text field-field-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author&#039;s name:&nbsp;</div> Sarah Dwyer with Rebecca Rhodes </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-publication-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Publication Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">October 2013</span> </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <p><a href="https://www.capacityplus.org/motivated-to-do-more" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://www.capacityplus.org/motivated-to-do-more#comments Health Workers Rebecca Rhodes Sarah Dwyer Third Global Forum on HRH Uganda Tue, 08 Oct 2013 17:33:17 +0000 Sarah Dwyer 1114 at https://www.capacityplus.org
