    When did you find your calling?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are disappointed. Those "Called to nursing" need to respect that we can be amazing nurses without a "calling" to the profession. I guess that is the point of so many. With an economy in the...

    When did you find your calling?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    My "calling" was not only to care for people but to make money well enough to support my growing family. I am not particularly religious and never felt that kind of calling to anything. Does not make...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Nerd eNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I see someone who sees people not agreeing with his opinions and getting ready to take his marbles and leave the game. Seriously (or not) you need to lighten up a bit. We disagree. Ok.
