The Most Beautiful Curls I'd Ever Seen

wow, how sad, jan.

When his extended family came into the unit after we'd cleaned him up and moved him to a private room, they looked like ghosts. The feeling of defeat rolled off them like a cloud and it broke my heart. I still have a knot in my throat when I see them in my mind.

Your story brought tears to my eyes. As a mother and future Peds nurse it really touched my heart.

Thank you for sharing.

I am so touched with this story. I am not a licensed nurse yet, still working on to pass nclex but this kinda reminds me of my clinical experience in MICU when my pt was called on code. It was a chaos. My first time to see a person died in front of me.

Thank you.

kudos's and accolades to you and anyone else who works in peds this is a field i could never handle. i'll stick with geriatrics, i will always remember fondly the nurses that were there for the nightmare of my child's death and i hope they shine their halo's daily. because they deserve them.

Thanks for sharing your story. The beauty of nursing is that every facet of the population is served. It looks as though you have found your niche. I'm better suited for the adult population and my sister, also an RN, serves women's services/Nursery well. Sounds like you will have a blond cherub looking over your shoulder.

Thanks for all you do for families. Stay strong.

I was so moved by your story. I have a newfound respect for you and all other nurses who have the courage to work with our littlest angels. God bless you for sharing your loving kindness.
