I thought I'd share this story, because I'm sure there is another nurse who may be in a similar position. I entered the nursing world inspired by an amazing nurse who took care of my sister who died from cancer. Recently a lot of things have happened, and I have had to change a lot of my career and long term plans. I was really wrecked with anxiety and many other feelings. It looked like I was going to have to change specialties in order to find what was best for me at this time. I was dreading leaving this patient population, but I was on the verge of taking another position in a totally different specialty. I was driving down the road, and I felt my sister's presence. This may sound crazy, but I've felt it rarely since she died. The next thing I know my phone rings, and I am asked to interview for an oncology position that sounds like a perfect fit. This job was not posted. My resume was passed along I guess. I can't help but wonder if she was smiling somewhere along the way. Life has thrown me a lot of curve balls recently, but I found peace in this.

That is absolutely amazing and heartwarming. God and our deceased loved ones are with us and touch us in little and big ways even when we don't expect it. :) I love to hear little stories like this. It helps you to know when you're on the right path or if you are making the right decision. This was beautiful, thank you for sharing!
