Nursing

Nursing. Who would have ever thought that I would become one. Yes I love helping people, but a nurse? There's a certain pride most nurses carry with them. I don't. In fact, truthfully...I don't even want to be associated with nursing. I just want to be known as me. Maybe it is because it's an expected women's field. I probably just don't get what it means to be a nurse. Anyways despite that...I do love serving others and helping them smile and brightening their day. Listening to them and giving encouragment are bright spots for me as I work the floor. Talking with families and interacting with the patient in nonmedical ways is what i enjoy most. Although I do like the adreline rush too of critical situations...I just wish I knew more stuff! There's so much to learn! So I guess this site it for me to express my thoughts of nursing and my patients. Sometimes it can be so rough....working on a critical care unit. And I know it helps to write...so here it goes...writing into this weird reality that I don't understand. (Where does it stay?????) Feelings, stories and experiences...that's what's going here and hopefully I can learn something through it all.
