Heart of Gold

11/05/09

There are times in our lives when we sit down and wonder where our lives will lead us.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our jobs that we forget what we truly represent. We get frustrated, aggravated, pushed to the limits and so mentally tired that we feel what is the use in being a Nurse.

But then someone gives us a weak smile or holds our hand and may say "thank you, you are so special." The we feel the warmth growing in our hearts.

All the bad feelings disappear and replaced by the core values that we present: human dignity, compassion, dedication, integrity, stewardship, leadership and excellence.

So when the bad feelins begin to show take the times to say this prayer:

Lord, help me to bring comfort where there is pain.
Courage where there is despair.
Acceptance when the end is near.
A touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love.

And, always remember, all Nurses are truly blessed.

For you see --- God gave of Hearts of Gold.

HAPPY NURSE'S DAY 12/05/09

Special thanks to nurse who:
1) check my heart rate when I was in my mom's womb.
2) deliver me to this new world
3) injected me the vaccinations
4) administered drugs for me when I was sick
5) took my blood pressure, temperature and other vital signs
6) taught me how to brush teeth when I was in primary school
7) nursed my mom and dad when both of them was administered in the wards.
8) taught me the skills that I never get them in the class when I was in clinical posting

And also to my mom as my PERSONAL NURSE for my whole life...
