Male nurse song

Published

[video=youtube_share;txCUwSKo1kg]

While I'm not an RN yet, I've been along side my mom as she's worked in nursing homes and the home health setting before she passed away at the young age of 39. I have recently started a cna job. As a male, people are often shocked when they find I'm pursuing the nursing field.

One day after my mother had passed away, I had been by to cut the grass of a 101 year old lady that she helped take care of. My grandmother who took over her care, needed to run to the store, asked me to feed her dinner while she left. The lady was going downhill pretty fast and hadn't been In her right mind or speaking for weeks. All of a sudden as I'm feeding her, she grabs my hand very tightly and opens her eyes wide, and says "you're mother would be really proud of you". These were the only she had spoken in over 6 days. from that day, I've knew my calling.

I believe this song explains my journey and hopefully some of you others can relate to

Scrubman, I am sorry for your loss. A mother taken way too early. All of us know how proud she would have been and for those of us who believe in an afterlife, I believe she is smiling.

You have a gift. That gift is one of the things that separates the art of nursing from the science.

Thank you for sharing.

I don't even like country music, and this literally brought tears to my eyes. So touching.

I enjoyed the video, but I am confused just a bit! Unless you are the singer, why is this the reason you are going into nursing?

i believe what the op is trying to show is the similarities in his own experience as in the video, while the op's grandmother had to go out for errands she ask the op if he could watch the 101yr. lady who in turn said to him that "he's mother would be proud," at the same time the op had an epiphany regarding his future career, which i have no doubt it will be a long and rewarding one as a nurse....aloha~
