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.

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.

It is great you had a good day. Hang onto the memory of it to pull back up when bad days come, when you get out of the honeymoon phase and the "love fest" feelings are hard to come by. It is great you are excited about the path you are on. The memory of this may help you in the future when it gets difficult and when students are making you nuts. :)

The goat with the impeccable oral/orthodontic care?
It was not the norm but it was awesome. Just a perfect meshing of personalities.
I will say, and I dont mean to brag, that I go out of my way to be a lightning rod for love, and then when it strikes I let it flow through me and I retransmit it in all directions.
My patients know I love them. My fellow students know I love them and the staff nurses know I love them. Not a romantic love mind you...there are many kinds of love....refer to your new testament :)
And I find that it is contagious and spreads like wild fire.........
Anyway, I know it is hard for many of you to understand because most people in this worldd are cynical and I am sorry for that....
By the way, I am 47 years old and I have been raked over the coals my entire life. I have every reason in the world to be cynical but ya know what? I choose not to be.
I love, love, love this post. Nursing is a second career for me (I'm still a student), and I was hoping to incorporate loving, caring acts as a vocation. This post gives me hope, and stokes my imagination on how I (hope) I'll practice. I'm a bit wearied of reading about bitter nurses, burned out nurses, nurses who don't care, etc. Thanks, mindlor.
