One of my Favorite Professional Experiences
During my professional career I have had the opportunity to work with patients, families, and students in various settings. I have found that the most rewarding aspect of nursing is being part of helping others reach their goal whether it is pain relief, healing a wound, or simply passing an exam.
As a home health and hospice nurse, I had a patient that was very ill and tired of suffering. Her family, on the other hand, was not ready to let her go. After a few weeks of providing comfort to her and her family they knew it was time for her suffering to end. I kept strong for the family’s sake and stayed by their side until the end. The day had come when they said their goodbye’s and she peacefully past. As I left their home that day I got into my car and just sobbed. At that moment I knew I had made a difference in providing pain relief for this patient as well as providing comfort to the family.
Nursing is the hardest job you’ll ever love!
A little about me
I am married (Wiley), have two boys (Kaden & Rylan), one dog (Raider), and house other creatures/animals that my son brings home. My family and I love to travel and spend our free time hosting family functions, swimming, skiing, and camping. My three favorite things…family, exercise, and red wine!!
