May 31, Kathmandu- Attitudes have changed in our Nepali society during the pandemic. In Nepali society where daughters are treated very discriminatingly, the corona virus has spread like an epidemic and the attitude has changed.

Daughters are being portrayed as goddesses in the pandemic, risking their lives as staff nurses by giving up sleep, fatigue, hunger, and thirst during the epidemic. The daughters who have been despised in the society have changed the outlook of the Nepali society by dedicating their lives to the sick in the epidemic of Corona. Gunaraj Awasthi explains.

At this time, risking their own lives, the staff nurse who works day and night to tell the patient about hunger and thirst says that she has found her daughters as goddesses in the pandemic. "Everybody tries to save their lives in the epidemic, but the nurses take care of the sick even if they are sleeping in the gallery of the hospital, so they have become a lifeline for the sick and our society at the moment," said Awasthi.

Director Awasthi says that despite the low wages, work pressure, and lack of service facilities, the nurses are committed to the service of the patients day and night. He said that although the nurses' grief, pain, and condition have been debated and discussed for a long time, they are saddened when the situation has not improved.

Sushma BK, a staff nurse at the temporary Corona Hospital run by the Seti Provincial Hospital in Kailali, said she was happy to be able to serve the sick day and night. "We have a lot of grievances, but it's our religion to keep the grievances at bay during the epidemic," she said.

Elisa Magar, another staff nurse who has been assigned to the hospital since the outbreak of the epidemic, says that she was not allowed to take time off at such a time. "It's okay in our government hospital, but it's a salary facility according to the work of the friends working in the private hospital," she says. "You are working without the demands of the leader, and why don't you?"
 
Jyoti Chaudhary, a staff nurse at the temporary Corona Hospital run by the Ghodaghodi Municipality in Kailali, says she is proud to have had the opportunity to save the lives of patients by serving them in the epidemic. Chaudhary says that the respect shown to the entire daughter while saving her life as a nurse in a society that despises her daughter gives her the energy to continue her work.

Jyoti says, "There are more unemployed nurses now than there are employers. Due to lack of employment and proper remuneration, the number of nurses going abroad and leaving work has also increased.
