Nursing LLC - Love Life and Caring

This was beautiful and touching. Thank you so much for sharing and reminding us why we went into the field.

Thank you so much maelstrom143 for commenting! Its really hard sometimes to share some very personal experiences and I appreciate your response. As you read, I'm not a nurse yet, so its comforting to hear from one that's been in the field with a nice comment like yours.

wow...that was beautiful...brought tears to my eyes. i love being reminded why i am going to nursing school =D

Thank you for posting such a personal story. This is a great reminder to me of why I got into this profession in the first place...to help people, whether sick, dying or healing.

I had a similar experience (although I was much older) with my mother's death. Your article reminded me of what our family went through and how wonderful her nurses were--especially allowing me to bring my 3 month old into the ICU so my mother could see her right before she lost consciousness. This is what finally pushed me to make my career change and become a nurse. Best of luck to you once you begin school and until then, may I saw how proud I am of that 11 year old girl?

Wow! I didn't expect to get such amazing comments back to this essay. thank you all! sparklie.lady...you made me teary eyed - you are such a sweatheart...I love hearing people's stories about changing careers. So many people have some amazing reasons to go into nursing and i'm so happy to have found a place where so many others feel the same way as me about wanting to take care of others.

I think you'll make a great nurse and the nursing field needs more people like you! What a beautiful essay. Keep on going!!!
