Patterns?

I was suspended the first month of high school in 1972, for fighting in a classroom, and then graduated with honors in 1975. In 1983, I was unanimously voted the LPN class president, but near the end of the program, there was talk of impeachment. I was put on probation in the third semester of the RN program in 1989 and graduated on the Dean's List in 1990.

In early 2019, I received recognition for identifying and intervening in a decompensating psych patient's status but, a week later, made a med error. I received recognition once again in late 2019 and early 2020 for recognizing and intervening on two different psych patients' decompensating statuses. 

In January 2020, I was basically informed that I saved a psych patient's life and received a DAISY award in February. I was terminated the following month.

Recently, I received accolades from a major business CEO for being "extremely valued".

Should I be concerned? Is this a Yin and Yang thing? One of Newton's Universal Laws? Do I fly high in April, only to be shot down in May? Is this a pattern, or what?

Have you ever experienced seemingly opposite or contrary forces in your life and/or nursing career?

I think there is always an ebb and flow happening. Some of the experiences we bring on ourselves and some "just happen" that are not within our control. I also believe that things happen for a reason, and it is up to us to do a little introspection and see why/what we can come up with.  We can learn something from everyone we meet (whether good or bad), likewise with situations/experiences. 

It has been said, "Sometimes we create arenas to work through unresolved issues".

Perhaps I've been creating Roller Derby arenas?

You/we are a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king. We pick ourselves up and get back in the race!

Wow, Daisy, that's really good!

Did you just make that up?

HaHa, I borrowed it from Frank ( ?"That's Life")
