I regret to inform you all of the passing of "nrw350" . I was contacted by his uncle this afternoon with this message:
"Hi, My Name is Phil Walley, Nick Walleys Uncle. Letting people know he has passed away. He passed away on July 11, 2003. they found blood clot in his aorta. He donated his organs to help others. There will be a Mass said for him this Saturday July 19, 2003 at 11:00 am. please leave a mesage here. This is so his Family can read. Thank you for your praryers, thoughts, and condolences. " I know he read this board here on allnurses the most. He was intrigued by anesthesia and medicine in general. Just letting you all know.
Dang! I will really miss his humor and fresh view points. I'm sorry for the loss his family must feel, but I rejoice that he is with God. He will be watching over his family with utmost care.
"I like to think that a person who might be described as "rude" or "awful" may only be that way out of fear or pain. And that a good nurse can help a patient get thru those emotions, and then there true self shines thru." 6/30/03
I am proud to be a member of a board he found worthwhile
I guess I'm like Nick in that I'm hoping and planning on becoming a CRNA someday. Having been following this board and finding out the fellowship and support the different members of this board, from students to specialist, show each other I'm proud to have chosen this path and be a part of this community. Your son showed the caring and compassionate nature by his postings that would have made him a good nurse. Even in death his last acts were to give hope and life to others by donating his body. I hope someday when I reach my goal, that I will show my patients the same type of compassion that your son showed. Please accept my condolences and sympathies in this time of sadness by your family.

There is also another thread about Nick in the break room, just FYI.
