Until she got married about four years ago, Jessica Oche was first and last a mass communicator, having graduated from the Mass Communication Department
of Benue State University. But all that changed with her marriage to her US-based husband as a result of which she had to relocate to God’s Own Country.
“So, I started a Nursing Assistant class, which is a four-month course. It was tasking but I love it. That was how I found myself fully in it today.” Although she has had to take a break from her job at Highpoint Hospital since January after she discovered that she was pregnant and needed to work at a less busy place than the emergency department where she had to be on her feet 24/7, she has her eyes set on becoming a travel nurse in the next few years.
“I have seen many die. That is life. Death is inevitable as we all must die someday. But being there and seeing it happen every day makes you value life the more.”As it would be expected of the people in the medical profession since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the last couple of months have been very challenging for Jessica.
Jessica recalled that she has been assigned to three infected patients since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Unfortunately, they all are dead now due to underlying medical conditions. “Talking about being sufficiently provided with PPEs, I would say no because we have to reuse them at the moment, which is not safe. But it is better to have one than to have none, so we have no choice than to comply.
“Another, I think, is your hand touching your face. I know everyone is trying to prevent that, but most times, it is hard when your face itches, you will unconsciously touch it before you realise you have.”
