What if you found out that some of your students are taking drugs? what will you do? Last week I found out that some of my student nurses are hooked on MHCl.(Metamphetamine Hydrochloride) and some of them belong to the “ace league” in the class. we (the professors) were really pushing our ass out to form them into competitive but caring nurses of tomorrow. But how would you feel if these bright students are on their way to perdition? The irony is this…

would I turn them over to the school authority and ruin their promising future? Or would I keep this a secret and help them get over this dirty habit? I am hanging on the balance! Well, everything I do is dictated by the demands of my work.

However, at the end of the day, no matter how frustrated and disappointed I am towards the outcome of my endeavors or of my students for that matter, there is still a realization that empathy should overcome authority… sometimes iron fist tends only to hurt… a gentle tap on the back may do better and turn things around…

Keep Well and God Bless!
