How can I spiritually learn this...

Nurses Spirituality

Published

Hey guys.

I am here to share my thoughts. I have been a nurse for 10months now, and waiting for break through where I can feel good again. I work nights, to which I totally blame all my tiredness and zombie life on but as far as nursing I am not sure what it is doing to me, but im frustrated. anyway....

I listen to alot of spiritual mentors like Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer,T.D Jakes, and Dr Charles Stanley. In the comforts of my own room I receive their message and am dedicated to apply it to my job so it can be better, Praise the Lord, but when I clock him, LITERALLY everything switches. Im boiling up, annoyed, and not even going to gracefully do my job as I said I was hearing my mentors speak.

One thing I heard yesterday was " You have to do what you have to do, where the lord has placed you to be able to pass and be advanced to the next level. If you don't pass the test you'll never pass the class and you;ll keep taking it over and over and over.". Honestly, I pass sometimes by luck, and fail most times by choice and not understanding how to see this experience as just a stepping stone. I felt so empowered hearing it, and made me feel like I can come to work and be able to work without reminding myself how miserable I am, and how I hate this place.

But the feelings were all still there.

I need to spiritually settle, convince and set my mind and heart on the fact that this is trully an ingredient in my life, and not the final dish. How can I learn this.

Help please.

Saved from what? To the OP- Hang in there- Nursing is difficult to adjust to as a newbie, and nights can be very difficult as well. Try to remember that as nurses, we can't always change the outcome, but we can make a horrible experience for a patient/family just a little bit easier to bear. I believe this is a good message no matter what faith you follow.Also- there is another wonderful thought- All paths up the mountain lead to the same place. They may be different paths, but each person finds their correct path....except the person running around the mountain telling everyone else that only HER/HIS path is right and everyone else is wrong. (I'm NOT saying the OP was doing this, btw!) I've been lucky to have been privelaged to take care of a number of wonderful patients of different religions, and I always love being able to speak to people about their spirituality. I've learned so much, another of the perks of being a nurse. ;)
