A little insight

Have you ever had a moment that you realize you are exactly where you should be and doing exactly what you are supposed to do? As a nurse I have seen people at their worst, but I have seen people at their best overcoming impossible odds. I have always loved being a nurse, but to be honest there are moments when I second guess my choice. However, there are moments when I know that I have made the perfect career choice. Yesterday was one of those perfect career days. I picked up an extra shift to help out a co-worker. Well, I was in the middle of the midday rush trying to get caught up from a busy morning when one of my sweet patients made my day. I was ready to leave her room and I asked if there was anything else that I could help her with or any other questions I could answer for her. She simply stated that she had "just one more question". I asked her what was on her mind and she asked me if I had children. I told her that I did...three in fact. Her warm smile was just so sweet and her next statement just made my whole day great. She told me that she knew I must have children because I have such a tender motherly touch. That I must love what I do. By then I'm sure I was blushing the statement had caught me off guard, but I was beaming from the inside out. I love being a nurse!!
