Love Fest

So yeah I am a student nurse.

Just got home from clinicals and I still have goosebumps/tingling all over.

It was a love fest tonight. Students were loving patients, patients were loving students, staff nurses were loving students, students were loving staff nurses, everyone was loving everyone.

It was palpable and it was magical and everyone on the floor patients included felt like they were part of something special today.

It was really intense! :)

Let the love flow, I saw tonight the power of love on a nursing unit.

    Granted, I wasn't there (THANK YOU, JESUS)..... but the description sounds like a Timothy Leary weekend. :D

    If I were the NM, I'd be asking for urine samples. "Love" has limits, also. If you all were giddy with love, who was seeing the reality of what was going on? :confused:

    It's great to have good nights w/good experiences with co-workers. But a "love fest"? I'd be down the hall staying to myself, and not being involved with the "love fest"...... it's WORK- not a swingers party :D

    I would be very curious to hear about the day from the perspective of a staff nurse, your clinical instructor, or your staff nurse preceptor for the day. And from a patient's perspective.

    I remember days in nursing school, and days coming home from work where the feeling of accomplishment was palpable in my heart. There is nothing wrong with that. Your wording however seems to have bristled a few kitty tails :)

    I'm glad you had that experience mindlor. I do hope the bitter dried up nurses were included in the group. For your sake as well as theirs. It is a certaintly there will be many shifts that are the the flip side of the love fest, (even if it was caused by someone slipping nebulized benzos into the hospital vent system). :)

    I'm wondering if that hospital implemented my oft recommended revolving door B52 spray? Just a taste to take the edge off as people enter the facility.
