"I move at the speed of safety", when we are told told in a roundabout way to cut corners to squeeze in more tasks/patients/etc.
Also, where is nurse's week celebrated in the country? All the places I have worked for at least in the last decade only celebrate and acknowledge hospital week or healthcare week. At my current place, nurse's aren't allowed to even mention the word nurse's week because it's not including of everyone in the building who works in healthcare.
In case you're wondering, yes, they do celebrate Doctor's week in a very lavish way. Also, bosses day and etc.
"You're going to feel like quitting. You're going to struggle. You'll have days when you wonder, 'what's it all for?' You'll have days when people try to break you down, or challenge your intelligence, skills and right to be where you are. You'll have moments when you question your own abilities, and perhaps your sanity- but you'll rise. You'll rise because your strength as a nurse is not determined by one grade, one shift, one job- it's an ongoing job of learning, honor, and a chance to make even the smallest of differences in the lives of your patients."
"Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people"- Dennis Prager
This quote to me is motivational because we get to practice "goodness" everyday as nurses and even though some shifts are really tough, as long as we can honestly say that we were kind, honest and good to those we cared for, we can be at peace with ourselves and wake up to another shift with as much enthusiasm as the day before.
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
---------Maya Angelou
This quote has helped me immensely, especially after a rough shift full of unknowns. Beating yourself up can only go so far, and losing sleep doesn't help anyone.
