We as a whole have to help the or fellow students, co-workers- the people we are with more than our families ( it seems at times). So often the stress is so high nurses seem to turn on each other and can be so cliche'.

Apr 05, 2008 08:01 AM - thank you for this beautiful story.

Apr 05, 2008 07:03 PM - This is such a warm and touching human experience. How quick we are to pass judgement without realizing the entire story. May Janet rest in peace and be blessed. She has accomplished in such a short time compared to those in an entire lifetime. Everyone in this life may have a burden of some type or another. More compassion and reaching out to our fellow human being is needed so badly in the world in which we all live in. Final thought....let us not forget that everybody is somebody!!!

Apr 05, 2008 11:27 PM - Wow.

I am glad that she made it. I think that she did show her classmates the power of compassion and healing touch. At least she died in grace...

Thanks for sharing this story.....

There but for the grace of..... go I...

Apr 06, 2008 05:38 PM - WOW!!!! Thanks for sharing this!
