Hey there, here's the second installment of profiles of our competitors. Meet Sheena Ramanzanu and Suzanne Lim from NYP.
For Diploma in Nursing students Sheena and Suzanne, one of the most valuable lessons they have learnt from training for WorldSkills Singapore is their ability to be sensitive to their patients’ needs.
Said Suzanne, “The competition has taught us that we need to understand our patients well and truly care for them as professional nurses. This is our commitment to our patients, and we practise this not just during this competition, but also during our clinical attachments.”
Her teammate Sheena even thinks about how to translate medical terms to layman language to better communicate with her patients. She said, “As a Nursing student, my natural tendency is to use medical terms for patients’ conditions. However, I am conscious that my patients may not understand these terms, so I try to use language that they will understand.”
As the girls have known each year since their first year, they naturally bonded together and worked well as a team. “We understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses well, and this helps us to perform, especially under time pressure, “said Sheena.
Have they set any goals for themselves for the competition? “Our target is to do our best. We want to give our 101 percent for the finals!” said Suzanne.
