The Fifteen

I remember my first day as a nurse like it was yesterday. That's probably because, in the grand scheme of things, it essentially was. I have been a nurse for a year at Walter Reed. I started outlast year on May 23, 2011 on the old Ward 71 at the Georgia Avenue site in DC. Specialties Oncology Article

Your patients were truly blessed to have you caring for them. Everyone deserves to have compassion and comfort especially when fighting for their lives. Keep up the awesome work- :up:

[color=#cc0099]thank you for that beautiful story, it brought tears to my eyes. i'm still a student and have a lot to learn. i was also told not to become too emotionally attached to your patients, but i never agreed with this. they have families. they're mothers, fathers, etc. how can we not grieve their loss? this definitely gave me a lot to think about and i appreciate you sharing your story. :heartbeat
