Best Compliment Ever...

i hear ya, i took care of a classmates grandmother(an old nurse), and he says she raved about me for the rest of the day.....all I did with her was start an IV, and pass a few pills.....works for me.

With some people, the littlest things make it all worth while for them. A hug when they are crying, pain meds given on time, a word of reassurance, or saying you'll do something and actually carrying through with it. I adore those patients because they make the job a little less stressful and a little more bearable.

Take that compliment and don't forget it because it can be very encouraging when you feel like everything is going wrong.

Last night, she said to me, "You are a very good nurse". And spent the night telling me stories of when she was a nurse. It meant a lot to me having this come from a much older, more experienced nurse. :) Pretty much the best compliment I could have gotten!

You'll carry that one around with you forever!

Good for you. :balloons:

An acknowledgment or compliment from a peer means the world to me; they know what I'm going through out there.

Good job :)

i had the cutest little old lady the other night ask me to come home with her...she said i was the "only nice nurse in this joint." that made me feel really good. horray for compliments!
