Tribute To A New Nurse
On the threshold of a dream, you stand, past long hours of desperation, moments of uncertainty, and degradation, deemed capable, with expectation, you finally offer with dedication, a knowing, healing hand...
I wrote a lengthier version of this many many years ago before my pinning ceremony and remains as true to me today...
They May Forget Your Name, But They Will Never Forget How You Made Them Feel.
Maya Angelou
There is no greater feeling than to be out in public and have someone that I have cared for in our hospital walk up to me and say, "I can't remember your name, but you took really good care of me whenever I was in the hospital."
"the daily knock on the shoulder with a smile and a good morning, is what made my day worth going through"
this is what one of my patients daughter told me the day before her fathers funural. Her das told her that every morning when i was there to help him, he loved the Knock on the shoulder and the smile he got from me before i left. Since that day, if i can give this one person hope with such a small gesture, i will do this with all my patients till the dat i am one myself.
ad astra per alia porci. This was John Steinbeck's personal stamp. Though I have since found out the phrase is technically incorrect, it doesn't make the meaning any less powerful. It is meant to say "To the stars on the wings of a pig". ♡ Pursue your dreams. Do the impossible.
