The Blend of Grey

I LOVED this ...as a student facing 1st year this fall ...the fear sometimes overcomes the dream. Thanks

You have summed it up so wonderfully.

Excellent!

It's just hits the nail perfectly. Thanks

You are a gifted writer, don't stop, want to hear more!

Thank you for summarizing the daily dilemma that a nurse faces in her career. The black and white rules sound good in theory until you come face to face with the very human experiences that you describe.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article, you accurately depictednursing on a regular basis. I have had very similar experiences and emotions throughout my 20 years of nursing. You are a gifted writer and hope you will continue to write articles to help all of us nurses know we are not alone in our thinking through our moral dilemma's.Michelle, RN

I am truly speechless! What a spot-on writing! LOVED it!

the only article that I finished reading.. well done.

Beautifully written! I actually found myself with tears in my eyes as I read each line. I couldn't have said it better myself--this IS what it means to be a nurse! Thank you.

You're such an amazing writer... You come across as an intuitive thinker, a rare accolade bestowed on nurses. Your writing is even more impressive because you elevate our profession in ways we've been rarely acknowledged. Simply, you're brilliant! And at only 24? What you have displayed here took me years to develop and I too began writing about my experiences, more creatively, although yours is exceedingly attractive, similar to [a component of a body of work at] a publication level. If not already, please look into it. In addition, please endeavor to return or remain on the academic realm of nursing, build your publication-expertise into dissertation material, go for the doctorate; go for the gold!Your talent is very rare and, so welcome!Kudos!!

This was one of the best, most poignent articles I have ever read! Thank you so much for writing it and sharing everything that I have ever felt in such an unbelievable way. Truly great!
