Katarína Velacková

We’re going to the nurse’s. We’re not gonna catch her in any ambulance or hospital department. Awarded Catherine Velack is a field nurse who visits patients at home for treatment. Young woman and I will arrange a brief meeting at the cafe by the road. As we’ll find out later, she’ll get caught up in work.

Katka is a young, energetic woman who loves her work. She worked at the hospital first. She worked for ARO, but after six years she decided to change.

I felt burned out. I’ve missed communicating with people, and there are patients who are not conscious,–he’s justifying his decision.

Today, with a team of five sisters in charge, 120 regular care patients are visited daily in their home. They remove stitches, collect blood, introduce infusions, inject injections, bind wounds.

They’re mostly hard mobile people, and their relatives have trouble transporting them to the doctor. He adds that they also go to nursing homes, where there are 15 patients in one place who need their treatment. Some patients are treated for two years. In doing so, nurses work closely with district doctors, monitoring and consulting patients’ health status.

I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna investigate the patient, I’m gonna evaluate what needs to be done, and I’m gonna pass the information on to the doctor, It adds that the improvement in patients’ condition is a reward.

I really see the job now. I can also see the environment in which patients live and I understand better the context that affects treatment, and she said. Patients share their problems, talk about their lives, show family pictures, and enjoy their visits. This also reflects the psychological well – being of the patient and the healing of his wounds.

The house is different from the hospital. Working with them fills me. I still hear from my patients years later, and they report that their granddaughter was born, and she said, and she added that the work often becomes friendly. He’s been in the field for seven years.

Difficult work compensates for sports in the home gym and walks in nature, such as dogs. With a friend who’s also a paramedic, they’re planning a wedding soon.

After a while, we have to say goodbye because Catherine is in a hurry to move on. She’s already got a young man looking for her for blood for her mom. Katka is used to a similar disturbance. It happens to her at home on a weekend when neighbors need help. For her, it’s obvious.
