Excellent speech notes for ICU nurses

Chapter 1: Speech on high-quality nursing care by ICU nurses

In my heart, patients are like trees with diseases. I hope that our help, like sunshine and rain, can give them a The tops are lush and lush, may they thrive and be healthy; in my heart, the patients' sorrow is like dark clouds in the sky. May our care be like the warm spring breeze, blowing away the clouds and showing a bright sunny sky.

"Yingying, Yingying, if you don't feel well, please tell auntie!" In the spring of March, a sudden disaster occurred in Xiaogan City. The child Zhou Shuying who was rescued from the raging fire was transferred to the ICU due to suffocation and coma. Severe suffocation caused cerebral edema, and she fell into coma after she woke up. The nurses in the ICU loved her very much, hey! Comparing my feelings, she is similar to our child. Her butt is burned like that, but she has not made much trouble. This child is really good. "Yingying, you are awesome. You don't cry or make trouble (high-quality care). We told the teacher that Yingying is the strongest. After a while, I will tell you a story." These are the original words of the nurse's mother in the ICU. The sheets I just changed became stained, so I changed them again, and the medicine I just applied was wiped off, and then wiped again. Yingying's grandma said, you are really impatient with my granddaughter.

Nobility comes from insignificance, and gains come from hard work. Things like this are extremely common in the ICU. Although we have grumbled and complained, when faced with the groans in pain and the hopeless and sad eyes, we only know that we have the responsibility to help the patients (high-quality care) and the obligation to alleviate the patients' pain.

One of the precepts for life written by Nobel Prize-winning Mother Teresa is that if you do good deeds, people will say that you must be doing it out of selfish hidden motives, but you still have to do it anyway.

What you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. No matter what, you still have to do it.

I know that what we do today will definitely be forgotten, but I will still do it.

What makes me have such a firm belief is my confidence in my ability to help patients. Now that I am wearing this white suit, I will go on bravely.

When it comes to the dead, you say you are afraid, but I believe it. To be honest, I'm afraid too. But ICU nurses are women who are often more courageous than men. Because after some patients died after ineffective resuscitation (high-quality care), nurses had to prepare the bodies. Some family members asked to help the deceased put on clothes, and we tried our best to accommodate them. Easier said than done. It's really only them who don't ask for anything else but peace of mind.

Hands are a woman’s second face. Who doesn’t want to have a pair of soft and smooth hands, but we ICU nurses really cannot take a close look at the hands. Rough and dry. Wash your hands and wear gloves every day, take them off, wash them, and put them on again. Regardless of the cold winter or the heat, as long as you are doing operations, you will not care about anything. After washing them dozens of times in a day, no matter how good your skin is, it cannot withstand such torment! You have to ask them if they regret it, "No regrets!"

When there are many patients in the ICU, the nurses often work overtime (high-quality care). It is common to leave sick old people with their husbands and lock unattended children at home. When talking about a patient, he remembers every detail, but often forgets everything about the things entrusted to him by his family.

It is such a group of people who do not make any bold words, but just quietly put the patients in their hearts.

The patient is in my heart, the patient is in our hearts, and in the hearts of everyone here. Keeping patients in our hearts means that we will live a fulfilling and happy life every day. Thank you all, my speech is over.

Part 2: Speech by ICU nurses on 512 International Nurses Day

Dear leaders, teachers, colleagues:

Hello everyone!

"Studying the relationship between heaven and man, understanding the changes of ancient and modern times, and becoming a family." The title of my speech today is "When there is spring, there will be flowers blooming."

December 1st is an unforgettable day for me. On this day, I ended my five-year study career in medical school and came to the hospital. After rigorous pre-job training here, I was assigned to the ICU.

In our own custodial center, facing my fellow villagers, those longing eyes and simple words made me feel a sense of responsibility, and I also realized more about the sacredness of this white body. The teachers in the ICU , starting from the most basic step-by-step teaching of nursing records, weekly nursing rounds, business studies, theoretical examinations, and operational examinations, we are like clockwork, not daring to neglect at all, for fear of accidentally, Just left behind. We scrambled to learn new technologies, and practiced difficult operations over and over again. In this learning atmosphere, my work ability has been comprehensively improved.

Five years of theoretical study at university did not allow me to "feel like a fish in water" after entering the clinic. What impressed me most was a patient with cerebral hemorrhage who suddenly suffered from projectile vomiting during the treatment. At a loss, I called the teacher. She methodically turned the patient's head to one side, immediately cleared the airway, and notified the doctor in time. After get off work, I opened the textbook and it read: Prevent suffocation caused by aspiration and clear the respiratory tract in time. These fifteen words are very precise. This once again confirms the true meaning of "Mr. Lu's" "What you see on paper is only shallow, but you know that you have to do it in detail".

The ICU is a hospital rescue and a symbol of the level of nursing care. It requires every nursing staff to have keen observation, a highly responsible attitude, and excellent technology. Here, I established my own work attitude, and also learned some new technologies and the use of new instruments that were not available in schools and internship hospitals. I am grateful to the teachers in the ICU. They gave me the most patient guidance, the most tolerant understanding, and the strictest requirements. They supported me along the way and helped me complete the transition from a medical student to a clinical medical worker. Role changes.

Six months later, I was transferred to pediatrics. Pediatrics is a busy department. At that time, the number of children affected reached 60. Facing the lovely faces tortured by illness, I told myself every time I operated, tap lightly and taper again, so that their young minds would have less painful memories. After a few months, I lost the original freshness and became a little tired from dealing with medicines all day long. Until one day, a fellow intern asked me about the pharmacological effects of drugs, and I suddenly realized that I was already a teacher. I sorted out the pharmacological effects of commonly used drugs in pediatrics, and found that many things were not fully understood in class. The head nurse of the pediatric department often pulled me aside, pointed out my shortcomings in my work, and shared life experiences with me to help me get out of my low mood and regain my confidence.

Neurology is now my “native family”, and the characteristics of specialized specialist care have taken my career to a new level. In a united, tense, harmonious and orderly working atmosphere, the teachers exchanged their work experiences with me every day and constantly improved my own work journey. The head nurse often educates us to start from the subtleties in our work, think from others’ perspective, and treat patients as relatives. It is our job to provide patients with the most understanding smiles and the most considerate services to meet their needs.

This is the mental journey of me, a young nurse who has been working for more than a year. I dare not say that we nurses are angels, because we are not as pure and flawless as angels, nor do we have as strong vitality as angels. We have never protected God, but only tried our best to protect each and every fragile life. We are not angels, but we embody greatness in the ordinary. We are not angels, but we only want to gain joy from our efforts.

I would like to thank my nursing seniors for sowing the seeds for me at the beginning of my career, allowing my work to blossom early. With this grateful heart, I want to help patients in the spring of their lives. When suffering from the harsh spring cold, I sow seeds and let their flower-like lives bloom again, because I believe: with spring, flowers will bloom.

Chapter 4: The Smile of the ICU (Speech)

When people mention the ICU in a hospital, a picture will immediately appear in front of people's eyes: the patient is bandaged and lying on the bed like a rice dumpling. The patients were moaning in pain, the nurses were busy with solemn faces, the ventilators were hissing, and the monitors were beeping. A tense and depressing atmosphere enveloped the ward where they were fighting against death. It was clearly not an ordinary ward, but a battlefield filled with smoke; every corner there was blocked with joy and laughter, and filled with pain and tears. However, when you walk into the ICU of ** Hospital, you will immediately be attracted by the comfortable and warm environment there, and be surrounded and moved by the thick smile in the air.

There, you will see the beautiful smiles of the nursing staff. They smile sincerely and confidently. The director of the ICU often says: Smiling is easy, moving people is the hardest. It is true, if it is not sincere from the heart, no matter how beautiful the smile is, it will not reach people's hearts. For this reason, every nurse in the ICU has one sentence in mind: patients are our relatives. As a result, sincere smiling faces are like fragrant flowers blooming at the bedside of the patient. Each "angel in white" with a smiling face, gentle tone and quick movements becomes the kindest, most patient and considerate person in front of the patient's bedside. The person becomes the relative that the patient is most willing to communicate with and see. Their kind smiles and patient explanations calmed down the patients' inexplicable anxiety; their gentle smiles and gentle patting brushed away the patients' psychological panic; their warm smiles and careful care shortened the nursing time. Their sweet smiles and words of encouragement ignited the patients' hopes for the future. However, facing this gratifying situation, the director of the ICU said: In addition to being sincere, we can do more. Yes, as an ICU, the instruments and equipment here are the most cutting-edge, with the largest number of critically ill patients, the fastest changing conditions, and the highest rescue frequency. As an ICU nurse, if you want to smile confidently and achieve the physical and mental health of your patients, you must have a wealth of knowledge. With theoretical knowledge and superb nursing and first aid skills, one must be proficient in the use of monitoring instruments and be able to conduct in-depth analysis of various monitoring parameters and their clinical significance. To this end, in the ICU, they regularly organize theoretical study of critical care knowledge, regularly conduct training in operational skills and first aid skills, and actively apply to higher-level hospitals for further studies, forming a competitive learning, skills, and service relationship within the entire ICU. Good vibes. Their hard work and hard work have turned them into a nursing team with strong theoretical and technical skills, a nursing team that reassures leaders and gives confidence to patients.

There, you will see the patients’ beautiful smiles. They smiled with relief and joy. As the country's first orthopedic pain-free hospital, ICU nursing staff have interpreted the hospital's "pain-free declaration" with their own practical actions - with noble character and eternal benevolence, they have lifted up the suffering and purified the patients; Concept and superb medical skills can relieve pain and keep away from disability. Since the clarion call of the orthopedic doctor to “carry out in-depth touching services and strive to build a pain-free hospital” has been sounded over the hospital, all ICU staff have had an additional responsibility and mission, and the life trust of countless critically ill patients has become more sacred and dignified. . Under the leadership of Head Nurse Li, the ICU nursing staff followed the pain care workflow formulated by the Nursing Department, starting from the details, and conducted detailed pain-free education, careful pain assessment, and pain assessment for each inpatient. Implement targeted pain care measures so that patients can happily receive treatment and care in a pain-free environment.

** who has been treated in the orthopedic ICU twice has the deepest experience of this painless treatment. He smiled happily: After listening to the painless propaganda, he was no longer afraid; after using lidocaine cream, the acupuncture no longer hurt; With self-controlled analgesics, I no longer clench my teeth; with special analgesics, I no longer clench my fists; with our "angel in white", treating illnesses is like taking a vacation. During the entire treatment process, the pain-free expert group studied and determined the treatment plan, the chief pain therapist of the ICU performed the treatment in person, the psychological consultation team provided timely psychological guidance, and the nursing staff took careful and careful care. Pain, mental relief.

There, you will see the beautiful smiles of the patients’ family members. They laughed with confidence and with tears in their eyes. ICU patients have varying degrees of language communication barriers due to illness or treatment, and cannot express pain, other physical needs and psychological feelings in words. For these special patients, ICU nursing staff carefully provide patients with writing boards, Cue cards, etc., allow patients to express their feelings and intentions through words, signs, etc. Some critically ill patients are unable to communicate either verbally or physically. This requires nursing staff to observe words and expressions and understand the needs contained in the patients' eyes. In order to enable the families of patients admitted to the ICU to better understand, support and cooperate with the monitoring work, the ICU has carefully produced "Instructions for ICU Family Members" and sent them to each patient's family members. Through the detailed introduction, the family members can feel the humanization and scientific nature of ICU nursing services, which effectively alleviates the family members' worries and makes them smile reassuringly. Aunt * who lives in ** has suffered from Alzheimer's disease for * years. She usually can't even tell her children apart, but during the ICU treatment, she was able to miraculously tell who was Head Nurse Li. Every morning when it was time for ward rounds, she kept saying: Why doesn't the little leader come? As soon as Head Nurse Li comes to the ward, a happy smile will appear on the old man's face. When talking about this matter, Aunt*'s eldest daughter couldn't help but shed tears: Mom knew very well in her heart that she knew who was good to her and who treated her sincerely.

A smile is a poem with unique charm, a smile is a silent and moving song, a smile is the gentle wind blowing on the face, and a smile is the rain that nourishes the heart. The smiles in the ICU compose a chapter of touching service and play the music of painless treatment; the smiles in the ICU nourish the dry hearts of patients and carry the hope of health and safety for thousands of families. Under the leadership of the hospital’s leadership team, the smiling ICU will follow in Nightingale’s footsteps, inherit Bethune’s spirit, adhere to the orthopedic medical tenet of “being virtuous and sincere, and practicing fraternity”, and dedicate itself to a better tomorrow for orthopedic medicine. strength.

Part 5: ICU Intensive Care Unit Nurses’ Day Speech

A truly good nurse is not only a top technical talent, but also the most caring and patient. . This love and patience are the wings given to angels by God and the gifts they bring to the sick.

I work in the ICU, and the stories that happen in the intensive care unit often reflect "patient-centeredness."

The ICU implements a 24-hour unaccompanied system. All treatment, care, feeding and watering and daily care for each patient admitted to the ICU are completed by nurses.

Nurses working in the ICU all have the desire to manage the patients under my care in a clean and refreshing manner. The first thing in morning care every morning is to give the patient a full body warm water bath. If you don’t believe it, we met some old people who hadn’t bathed in several years. When they lifted the quilt, their whole bodies emitted an unpleasant smell of sweat. When they were wiped with a towel, the skin flakes fell off. After we used four basins of water to scrub an old man, he kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, it's so comfortable."

Most seriously ill patients cannot speak. It's important to detect problems in time. It’s the nurse’s eyes and experience. "Cough, cough again, use some strength." When suctioning sputum, we often encourage patients who are awake and have open airways to increase the number of coughs. After the airway is humidified, the patient will cough for a while, and the phlegm will immediately flow out from the artificial airway. Spray, it will be sprayed on the nurse's clothes and body before it's too late, "It was good just now, come on, cough again." Although everyone knows that the clothes are dirty and they need to change clothes immediately, our nurse does not even frown and continues to encourage Patient coughs, cleans up. If the patient's condition improves, the number of coughs increases, and the suction is effective, the nurses will be very happy. Only such angels, their love is so pure.

In the eyes of family members outside the ICU ward, we are just busy figures walking in and out, even walking and running. In the ward, we are indeed the only support for the patient.

Last summer, we treated a middle-aged male patient who was involved in a car accident. He suffered multiple rib fractures, both femur fractures, and was completely unable to move. After his condition was stabilized, four nurses in the department needed to lift him up for a bowel movement. His body weighed more than 150 kilograms, and the force must be even. Not light! At first he refused, but after our patient explanation and persuasion, he reluctantly agreed. After putting him in the bedpan and defecating, we first wiped the area around his anus with paper, and then washed it with a warm towel. When we finished all this and covered him with a quilt, we found that his eye circles were red and his tears were silent. The ground fell. "You are so kind, so good that I feel bad about it." "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you get better."

If you want to ask the nurses in the ICU when they are happiest, let me tell you, when the patient Stable and recovering day by day, we feel most comfortable.

On the one-way train of life, the superb service of nurses will extend the end of the journey of life. Speaking of the ninety-five-year-old Red Army veteran Grandpa Zheng Yi, I believe many people here will be familiar with it. He is a family member of our hospital and one of the only retired cadres in the city. Last winter, he was transferred to the ICU after undergoing an ostomy surgery for colon cancer. In the first few days in the ICU, my vital signs were very unstable, my heart rate was fast, my blood pressure fluctuated, and my condition was extremely critical (this article comes from the Secretarial Resource Network, please log in to view more free articles). Everyone in Corey's heart is tense and they don't dare to slack off in the slightest. After several days of hard work, the condition gradually improved. In the next few days, as long as the old man was in better spirits, he would tell us about his glorious years. We listened carefully, and he talked really eloquently. He regards us as his close friends, and we are happy to be his lifelong friends.

His ninety-fifth birthday was spent in the ICU. On his birthday, the doctors and nurses in the department came to him and said "Happy birthday to you" into his ears. I wish you a speedy recovery!" After hearing these simple words, a shy and innocent smile appeared on his face.

Although he passed away in the end, we know that we accompanied him through the last eighteen days of his life, and we tried hard to pull him back from the line of death.
