we are all on these jobs for a reason. only we know why we accepted these jobs. most of these patients we take care of was once like us.healthy enough to take care of ourselves.
some of us see different patients every single day. some of us see the same patients every day.
remember, as time go on and the days, months and years go by we will not remember every single patient that we dealt with because we have seen so many faces come and go. but i can bet you that the patients will remember us because we are only one person. they will definitely remember us especially if we purposely mistreated them in any way.
sure, we can't save the world but it doesn't cost a cent to be kind to people the way we would love to be treated also.
most of the time, we as human beings know when someone is being truly kind, loving and caring to us and when it is truly coming from the heart.
what we do to others will surely come back to us before we close our eyes for the last time. i don't expect everyone to agree with me but i truly believe this from my heart.
loving my job because i love caring for people :1luvu:

this is a great thread.
it's amazing how true it is. we have to remember that whatever we do, we make an impact on patients' lives. it's incredible. whether we are nice, mean, anal, or treat them with no compassion, patients remember. i know from the people in my family who have been patients, they remember how competent or wonderful their respective nurse was. those lives you touch in a positive way tend to stick with you and those patients as well. those lives you touch in a negative way, you may remember once in a while, but those patients remember forever.
so, let's keep the positivity level up; let's be competent and have a smile on our faces and let's save some lives!!!!:chuckle :chuckle :balloons:
