I am a pediatric nurse, and a patient that comes to mind who had a huge impact on me is a little girl called Tamara. She was 9 when she died, and I nursed her for the last 5 years of her life. She had Cystic Fibrosis and was a pale, frail-looking little thing with blonde hair and blue eyes. During some admissions, she was so pale that her white-blonde hair had more color than her skin, and the dark shadows under her eyes looked like blue bruises. Nurses Announcements Archive Nurse Life
