NURSE LIFE

Recently I’ve been conflicted about what I’m doing with my career and life. I’ve been a nurse now for almost half my life and have had thoughts about hanging up my scrubs. Health and fitness went from my hobby to a part time job in a blink of an eye. As a mom I never wanted to work full time and I’ve found myself working more than ever. I got a compliment from a patient yesterday about the care I gave and it made me stop and think... why would you give this up? You are good at what you do and you are meant to take care of people who need you. Being a nurse I have encountered the craziest, yet the most amazing situations and people. No one will ever understand that like another nurse

In the end, being an oncology nurse reminds me every day that little everyday problems are really nothing when we have our health. Most of the people I take care of have a very uncertain future. Seems ridiculous when I think about my worries and problems versus theirs. I still don’t have a clear answer on what is yet to come, but I believe we are all called to do certain things. Till then the show goes on. Thanks for listening friends.
