III. Summary of Themes and Subthemes (Sample Table)

General Theme: WORK EXPERIENCES OF A NURSE DURING THE COVID -19 PANDEMIC

Literature: Experiences of Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Nurses are at the forefront of promoting health, advocating for patients, and advancing the science of
care. The World Health Organization designated the year 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife.
Organizations within the World Health Assembly, such as the International Confederation of Midwives,
International Council of Nurses, Nursing Now, and the United Nations Population Fund, planned to
celebrate nurses worldwide, to address challenges nurses face, and to highlight nurses’ vast contributions
throughout 2020.

The Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, however, was quickly overshadowed by the international
invasion of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The effects of COVID-19 have been felt in,
and continue to ripple through, all areas of the world. Anecdotes continue to emerge as nurses engage in
the power of storytelling to share their individual reality of COVID-19. Curating and archiving these
pandemic experiences are important and necessary. This study aims to scientifically examine the
resilience and experiences of registered nurses (RNs) practicing during the pandemic.

Sub-theme 1: WORKED AS AN EMERGENCY NURSE

The informant said that he worked as an emergency nurse in Bukidnon

Provincial Hospital for a year.

The informant shared that:

“As an emergency nurse, it is my responsibility to respond swiftly to

emergency situations. It is critical that we are always prepared, especially
when physicians issue orders. We must be awake and knowledgeable at all
times in order to cater to our patients' requirements.”

Sub-theme 2: WORKED AS A CHARGE NURSE

The informant emphasized that after applying for a staff nurse position at
Northern Mindanao Medical Center, he was promoted as a charge nurse after
only 3 months of employment.

The informant shared that:

“As a charge nurse, I am responsible for assigning duties to staff

nurses, taking direct instructions from physicians, and receiving calls from
nursing supervisors. In addition, my workload is not as severe as it was when I
was still an emergency nurse.”
