Nursing is about helping people...making a connection. Although I don't have one of those cute little stories on how ever since they were little the wanted to be a nurse. Don't get me wrong I love hearing those!!! My story is a kinda stupid but here it is.... Last March I fell and broke my elbow...I was a really serious one, I ended up having surgery....It was a terrifying experience, it was my 1st broken bone and 1st surgery...I was sooo nervous....The admitting nurse was soo nice! She calmed me down and kept making me laugh!! I was in soo much pain but she made me feel at home. I survived my 1st surgery!! In recovery, I had an even nicer nurse. She was soo patient with me --I was so out of it-- The nurses there made you feel like you were one of their own! After the surgery I had Physical Therapy....I hated my Therapist!!! He was sooo gross!!!!! The nurse their was really nice ad was helping me most of the time, so I got through it. The therapist was not skilled enough and was way too full of himself. So now I wear Dyna splints at night and they have been helping me a lot! But I owe a lot of my gains to all of the nurses. A few months ago I started volunteering at the hospital. I adore it!!!! I feel so at home at the hospital now!!!:balloons:
