Hi Jenette,

I want to just repeat everything everyone else said!! You are a definite Treasure; I always look for your posts when I'm at Allnurses.

I remember when you were up in the Chicago-area for Adam's graduation--I remeber wishing we could have met somewhere & had a nice drink or a cup of coffee; maybe there will be another time!!

Congrats,
Mary Ann

Jnette, what a wonderfully deserving spotlight this is!

I love your posts, and wish you the best in your new nursing venture.


I love your pics too...the scenery, your family, and of yourself.


I believe everyone can honestly comment from the heart when saying, and I agree, you are a treasure...a true jewel.

oh dear Lord, i have to share: i HAVE to share!!!

jnette, my MOTHER ALWAYS called herself the weeping willow, contrasting me as the oak tree.
she was flexible, gentle, approachable.
and i, the oak, was strong and proud and rigid: and i would snap some day; whereas she, the willow, would merely bend and sway.
oh dear Lord, i need my therapist!!!

seriously, (big sigh, eyes filling up) you more than anyone, know how i feel about you.
you are truly the epiphany of love and grace.
when lifes' challenges have set me back, i become inspired and strong by you, and because of you.
i soooo suck at articulating my feelings.
i can only pray you know how deeply you have touched my spirit and soul.

i need to go jgirl. (i know you can see my crying)
(you can reach me at the funny farm. i'll be the one chopping down every weeping willow in sight! )

When my dad was waiting for his kidney transplant years ago, it was his dialysis RN who got us thru that roller coaster. Jnette, I don't know you, but your post speak for themselves.
Congrats. The poem below is for you.

The Proverbs 31 Nurse
By Lois Sigmon Turley, RN
Who can find a good natured Nurse?
For her price is far above silver and gold.
She seeks medicines and skills,
and works willingly with others.
She gives of herself
and considers her own desires last.
A heartwarming smile is hers,
and is made beautiful in her eyes.
She girds herself with honor
and strengthens her ability with patience.
She perceives that her work is good.
Her candle does not go out by night.
She lays her hands upon understanding.
She stretches out her hand to the poor;
yet, she reaches forth hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of sorrow,
for her trust is in God.
Pride and humility are her clothing,
and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She opens her mouth with comfort,
and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Her associates rise up and call her blessed;
her patients also praise her kindness.
Many daughters have helped others,
but you excel them all.
Favor is deceitful,
and beauty is vain.
But a Nurse that
fears the Lord --
She shall be praised!

[Spidey's mom]

That Proverb fits jnette to a "T".
