real

 

friday night was my last night on 8N. for 2 years and 2 months, i have had people ask me where i worked. when i told them general medicine, they would always say..


"Oh, so you have it easy"
"You must be so bored working nights"
"When are you going to a 'real' floor?"


let me just tell you, that group of women (plus several more plus a 6 good men) you see up there are the hardest working, most patient, most compassionate people i have ever been around. 


Medical-Surgical nursing is not easy, is definitely not boring, and it has been the most challenging, rewarding experience of my life. 


i have been honored and privileged to be a part of this team of excellent nurses, care partners, and medical receptionists.


so thank you 8N for the experience. and thank you for showing me what "real" nursing is all about.
