A reminder

Since not much is going on in the way of nursing, I have been trying to take care of life stuff and trying to be mindful, compassionate, and follow the Dharma. My wife & I were getting our taxes done last night, and I was reminded about compassion by of all people, my tax preparer. Her daughter is currently in Nursing school, and a story was told to me about how much the young lady enjoyed Nursing, and how she believes that she was meant to be a nurse. I know this feeling. I have felt this way pretty much from day 1 of clinicals. I do truly enjoy helping people, and even though the pay would be nice, that's not my motivation. It's all about the patients.
Even when I was employed as a aide, I really did enjoy providing for my patient's needs.

I just wish that I had discovered this some years ago.

Namaste'
