Embracing a Positive Attitude in Facing Heavy Work Pressure
Determined to Improve Nursing Profession to Protect People’s Health

Our faith started from the family. Through the encouragement of my parents, I grew up in Soka’s footstep since the Future Division to the University Division.
Soka Family Warmth and Care
Walking out from Despair due to the Passing of a Good Friend
I was constantly being ridiculed and laughed upon by my classmates during the secondary school days. As a result, I became introverted and greatly lacking in confidence. I would often feel disheartened and hopeless. At that time, I had a very close classmate. Though she grew up from a single parent family but she was often cheerful and full of energy. She would always help me stand up to those classmates that were bullying me and therefore making me feel secure whenever she is with me. However, she passed away when we were in Secondary 2 due to an accidental gas leak. I was devastated when I received the news.
Since her passing, I was crying almost daily for a period of 6 months. I was constantly depressed and made little effort to interact with people. Whenever I see empty tables and chairs in school, the grief would naturally set in. I felt that I would never make another friend again. I retreated from developing relationships with my other classmates and I could only find solace in Soka activites due the warmth and care of the seniors and fellow divisional members. Attending activities allowed me to forget my constant grief.
The Soka Secondary Division “Big Sister” taking care of me gave me lots of encourage. Through the participation of activities, I had my first exposure to street dance and started to generate my interesting in dancing. Through hard work and practice, I managed to received praise and applause for my performance, resulting in increased confidence in myself. Furthermore, through the seniors in the division, I felt passion yet humility from them and realise that it should be the correct behaviour as a person. I was greatly attracted to their personality and therefore wanted to attend activities even more. Through the activities, other than finding joy through working with fellow members, I also learn a lot of new and different things. This gradually moved me away from the negative feelings I was harbouring.
Upholding the spirit of “Accepting first, Challenge later”
Taking care of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit
I was very cleared of my ambition upon graduation from Secondary School. I told my mother that I was wanted to further my studies in nursing and finally become a nurse. I managed to get into nursing school and subsequently obtain my nurse license. I was then appointed to be a nurse in the intensive care unit of a medical centre.
Through Soka activites, Soka Seniors have always encouraged us with the spirit of “Accepting first, Challenge later”. I adopted the same spirit in my work as a nurse. During my interview, I volunteered to be posted to the intensive care unit. The matron and supervisor who interviewed, gave me repeated warnings that the work pressure in the intensive care unit was immense. Furthermore, in order to perform duties in the intensive care unit, I must undergo 3 months of special training and finally obtain a necessary certificate through an exam. Filled with courage and vigour then, I replied steadfastly that I want to challenge it.
The real challenge actually started when I was finally working in the intensive care unit!
Every day, I face rapidly changing scenes of life and death. My slightest mistake can lead to life threatening situation for the patient. After working for a while, I finally have to recognise my lack of ability as a novice nurse and working in the intensive care unit was not as easy as I thought it would me. My work environment was also rapid deteriorating. Originally there was total of 20 colleagues in the unit but within a year, 10 colleagues left the unit. Faced with not being fully familiar with the environment, I was even subjected to scheduling issue and had to undergo 3 consecutive shifts due to the lack of staff. Other than the physically turmoil, I was mentally subjected to huge pressure due to 12 hours duration of work in the hospital daily. Sometimes, I could not even have time to drink water, take my meals or even go to the toilet. Even after I return home, there were never ending books to read and reports to complete.
Diligently fulfilling Nursing duties
Receiving affirmation from the Hospital
Many people cannot really understand the details of working in the intensive care unit. Moreover, with my unyielding character, I refuse to share with my family member even when I feeling depressed or encounter obstacles. My mother could tell my fatigue from work and encouraged me to chant daimoku to overcome the difficulties. However, I was constantly plagued with lack of sleep and therefore could not bring myself to chant. I was constantly sullen faced when I reached home and even got into conflicts with family members. During the first 2 years while I was in the intensive care unit, I hardly participated in activities. But I still managed to participate in some dance choreography for activities during my rest days. Thankfully, my mother had been quietly praying for me throughout the period.
Due to the lack of manpower, I was promoted to a group leader to lead novices within a year of service in the unit. When the night shift supervisor is not available, leading the entire intensive care unit would become my responsibility. It was the same period that there was a huge social news of a caregiver causing the death of an infant due to the wrong injection of medication. Therefore, in addition to chanting for sufficient life force to face work challenges, I was constantly reminding myself to be meticulous in caring for the patient and never allowing myself to make any mistakes. With this attitude and strong stress resistance, despite being junior in terms of experience, I received affirmation if my capabilities from my supervisor and fellow colleagues.
There was an incident when I was busy applying emergency aid to a patient, I did not had time to check on a fellow nurse who, due to her mistake, was holding an injection syringe that was not normal as it contained high dosage of muscle relaxant that was sufficient to kill the patient. As she was going to inject the dosage to the patient, thankfully another colleague felt that something was amiss and managed to stop her in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. After the incident, I repeated chanted daimoku of gratitude, appreciating my parents for constantly chanting for me and therefore accumulating my good fortune, resulting in that colleague becoming my Buddhist god. I determined to have more diligent faith and participate in more activities to repay my gratitude to the Gohonzon.
After this incident, I felt depth that I needed to strengthen my professional competency. I also recognise the need to continue to strengthen my life force through diligent faith resulting in having wisdom and good fortune. However, in the intensive care environment, despite after even four years of experience, it was still difficult to have my own personal space or participate in activities after work. As a caregiver, although I do not expect to have a normal lifestyle but my heart still wish for "nursing duties that do not need work of shift so that I can participate in the activities". A wish that has become my prayers during chanting. Through an encounter by chance, I was introduced by my classmates to work in an operating theatre of a public hospital.
Entering the operating theatre
Determined to excel in faith and activities
This hospital’s work environment is very unlike my previous before. So effectively I had to start from scratch. To my good fortune, I had a group of kind colleagues and supervisors that allowed me to quickly adapt to the new environment reducing the need for endless overtime work. Shift work is also comparatively lesser in frequency and I could even have rest days every week, leaving me pleasantly surprised.
After working for these many years, it was my first time experiencing the feeling of a normal lifestyle and in addition able to participate in discussion meetings and activities. I could even participate in student exchanges and hosting university student division members, sharing with them my own experiences of victories. I deeply hope that I can become the student seniors that took care of me when I was in secondary school, and in turn become a senior that could encourage my juniors and a positive influence to them.
I was very fortunate to be able encounter the mystic law since my childhood. Through the power of faith and Soka activities, it gave positive direction and drive. My gratitude to my family and fellow Young Women Division members that were always with me throughout this journey. I am now able to attain higher professional competency at work and also able to participate in activities. Moving forward, I expect myself to continue to develop my professional competency. I want to create maximum value, regardless if it is at work or for kosen-rufu and become an indispensable successors of kosen-rufu.

懷抱積極態度 面對沉重工作壓力
決意精進護理專業 維護民眾健康
簡意紋
台灣
我們家是家庭信仰，在父母鼓勵下，我從未來部到大學部，都跟隨創價的腳步成長。
創價家園溫暖關懷
走出好友過世悲痛
在國中時期，常被同學欺負嘲笑，個性變得內向，非常沒有自信，心裡感到無比灰暗。那時，有一位很要好的女同學，她生長在單親家庭，總是很明朗且充滿活力，幫我一起面對欺負我的同學，讓我很有安全感。然而，這位同學在國二時，卻因為瓦斯漏氣的事故離開人世。聽聞此噩耗 時我感到十分痛苦。
在之後的半年內，我每天幾乎以淚洗面、心情低落，在學校很少主動與別人交談互動。在學校看見空蕩的桌椅，就會不斷陷入哀傷的情緒之中。國中時期正值心理發展「同儕關係」的階段，當時的我一度覺得自己再也交不到知心的朋友，與同學的相處變得退縮，而只有在創價活動中，前輩及同學間的溫暖關懷，才能讓我忘記哀傷。
當時國中部大姊姊給我很多鼓勵，透過參加活動，首次接觸到街舞，對舞蹈產生興趣，努力練習後獲得大家的掌聲及讚美，從中產生自信，更從大哥大姐熱情謙卑的姿態中，學習到身為人應有的態度，於是更喜歡參加活動。活動中，除了與夥伴們一同歡樂之外，還可以學到很多不同的新事物，讓我逐漸遠離曾經與我如影隨形的負面福緒。
秉持先接受再挑戰精神
在加護病房照顧重症患者
國中畢業時，我就明確地立定志向，告訴媽媽我要念護理科、我要當護士。國中畢業基本學測時，順利考取理想的護理學校。五專畢業後就立即考上理想的二技及取得護理師執照。經過七年護理專業學習階段後，經過考試幸運進入一所醫學中心加護病房擔任護理師。
因平日活動面對使命時，前輩經常鼓勵我們「先接受，後挑戰」，在工作上我抱持同樣態度，在面試時就告訴主管我想要到加護病房工作，面試我的護理長及督導不斷告誡我，到加護病房工作壓力會非常大，且剛進去就必須參加三個月的訓練課程並通過考試取得證書，否則就不能繼續在加護病房工作。當時，自己充滿了勇氣與衝勁，堅定地回答說：「我願意挑戰！」
而進到加護病房工作，才是真正挑戰的開始！
甫大學畢業的我，每天面對瞬息萬變的生死場面，在為病人做護理工作時，如果稍有不慎就可能導致病人的生命危險。工作一段時間後，才深感自己這個菜鳥護士不但能力有限，加上面臨醫療環境急速惡化，我的單位約有20位同事，在一年之內有包括9位學姐及一位同期同事離職，在自己尚未完全熟悉運作狀況時，竟然出現連排班都有問題的困境。除了輪值三班身體上的疲勞之外，精神上更承受極大壓力，每天待在醫院的時間超過12小時，有時幾乎連喝水、吃飯及上廁所的時間都沒有，回到家裡還有看不完的書及做不完的報告。
認真做好護理工作
深獲醫院肯定
因重症照護工作內容，一般人很難理解，加上自己不服輸的個性，情緒低落或遭遇挫折時很少告訴家人。媽媽看我工作很疲累，要我好好唱題才能超越困難，那時的我每天睡眠不足，根本沒辦法做到，下班後回家常板著臭臉，甚至跟家人起爭執。在加護病房工作前兩年，幾乎無法參加活動，但我仍抽空在暑期活動時參與活動部編舞，雖然如此，幸有媽媽默默為我唱題祈求。
在工作滿一年時，因為醫院人力不足的關係，我必須要帶新人而提早升為小組長，夜班主管不在病房時，就要負起整個加護病房的貴任。那時有一則護理人員打錯肌肉鬆弛劑導致嬰兒喪命的新聞轟動社會，因此，除了唱題祈求要有足夠的生命力面對工作的挑戰之外，一直自我警惕，要用心、細心地照顧每位病人，絕對不能犯錯。雖然年紀輕且護理資歷尚淺，但自己認真工作的態度及抗壓性，受到主管及同事的肯定。
在一次因幫病人進行急救過程中，因無暇顧及到一位護士手裡拿著一支不同於一般的急救針，裡面裝著足以致人於死的高劑量肌肉鬆弛劑，就在她即將打入病人體內時，幸虧被同事發現有異、及時阻止，否則後果不堪設想。事後，我不斷唱念感謝的題目，感謝父母不斷為我唱題祈求及平日累積的福運，讓那位同事成為我的諸天善神，並決意要更認真信心、活動來報答御本尊！
經過這次事件之後，我深刻感受到更須加強專業能力，並透過認真信心鍛鍊強韌的生命力、擁有智慧與福運。然而，在所處的醫療環境中，即使有四年照顧重症經驗的我，下班後還是很難擁有自己的生活空間或參加活動。身為護理人員，雖不敢奢望能有一份生活作息正常的工作，但心裡仍懷著「希望能有一份不用輪班的護理工作，可以出來參加活動」的一念唱題祈求，在一次因緣際會之下，經同學介紹進入一間公立醫院開刀房工作。
進入開刀房工作
決意兼顧信心與活動
這所醫院的工作環境與以前大不相同，因此，全部要從頭開始學習，而很有福運地擁有一群善良互助的同事及善解人意的主管，讓我在新環境可以很快地適應，不再需要無底限地超時上班，輪值夜班的頻率也比以前少了許多，且可以排班周休，更讓我感到驚喜。
工作這些年來，第一次體會到生活作息正常的感覺，現在除了能夠參加座談會等活動，參與雄鷹會交流及招待大學部同學，並與同學們分享自身勝利體驗，我深深期望自己能像國中時期照顧我的大哥大姐們，成為能鼓勵後輩及對她們富有影響力的人。
很慶幸從小就能接觸妙法，透過信仰的力量及創價活動，帶給我正向且不斷前進的動力。感謝一路上陪伴我的家人、女子部姐妹們。現在的我在工作上可以學習更多專業，且有餘暇進修及參加活動。期許自己能夠不斷精進護理專業，無論在職場、廣布活動上都創造最高價值，成為不可或缺的一流廣布人才。
