Being a NURSE means…

You will never be bored.
You will always be frustrated.
You will be surrounded by challenges.
So much to do and so little time.
You will carry immense responsibility
and very little authority.
You will step into people’s lives
and you will make a difference.
Some will bless you.
Some will curse you.
You will see people at their worst…
and at their best.
You will never cease to be amazed
at people’s capacity for
love, courage, and endurance.
You will see life begin…and end.
You will experience resounding triumphs
And devastating failures.
You will cry a lot.
You will laugh a lot.
You will know what it is to be human
and to be humane.

When Adam and I married his mom was working part-time as an LPN and has done so periodically over the years but has always thought about going on in school. She did it. She graduates in May as a registered nurse and plans on going on even. I believe she wants to teach nursing students actually. We are very proud. She was on the front page of their newspaper last week announcing that she was selected as the single student who represented the mark of excellence throughout the three campuses this college has and that she is their new Academic All-Star. We will be there in May cheering her on.
