I have worked in many areas of nursing (NICU, medical-surgical, forensics, nursing homes), but I found that in all these areas, I was always teaching. There are always new things to learn in nursing, new skills and knowledge to share. So many years ago I combined my passion for patient care with my affinity for teaching.
Nursing has given me amazing opportunities and gifts. From bringing new little lives into the world, to helping people pass on in a way that is meaningful for them, these are the gifts of nursing. What always humbles me as a nurse, is the fact that as a perfect stranger to my patient, I am allowed into the most vulnerable aspects of their lives, at the most frightening moments for the patient, and together, as a team we create a plan and a path to achieve their goal. That is truly the honor I find in nursing.
