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.
----Melodie Chenevert
As a Nurse
Your calling is a challenge
Everyday of every year
the lives you touch can sway your heart
or cause a bitter tear
you nourish those who lose their hope
and temper their despair
then minister in wonder
when your healing arts take care
you foster patients every day
your faith becomes their wealth
attending those who look to you
to guide them through to health
your dedication as a Nurse
shines through the life you lead
so selfless is you chosen path
to nurture those in need.
Nurse's Prayer
Lord, please help me to bring
comfort when there is pain
Courage when there is fear
Hope when there is despair
Acceptance when the end is near
and
A touch gentle with tenderness,
patience and love.
