my summary ; Package 2 - Lesson 2 (:

Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where it damages the wetlands and the vegetation in the marshes may not grow back. Vegetation along water sources disappeared and whatever remains became brown. Katrina affected local sea harvests and decreased oyster production by two- thirds and more were imported. Fisherman were unemployed and unsettled. Floodwater became contaminated household chemicals petroleum and affected underground gas and oil tanks. Leaking sewer and gas pipes contaminated floodwater. Human corpses and dead pets raised the risk of bacterial contamination and placed material for a platform for the plants to grow. The Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration Plan is also planning to rebuild barrier islands and replant lost marsh grass.

about my career (:

I feel that the job of a nurse is rather tough but satisfying. When you are a nurse, you have to practically meet all the needs of the patients in the hospital. To me, the hardest part of the nursing career is to reveal to the family member’s about the patients incurable condition. Its heart wrenching to be the one responsible for shattering the dreams and hopes of the family member’s. I believe that when I become a nurse, I will try my best to never tell patients there’s no hope or there’s nothing we can do about it even if it’s true. There’s always something we can do, even if it’s to help them die with dignity and comfort. Well, there’s always a good part in everything. When a patient survives or gets cured, you will feel over the moon that the person survived with your help and when you see the patient leaving the hospital all normal, you feel so satisfied that you have done a good job. It also get’s tiring at times as truthfully, I feel that the nurse handles most of the work in the hospital. She definitely plays an important part in the hospital and without a nurse, doctors sure will have a hard time.
