Wow, very powerful. Thank you for sharing this story.

I have chills because I think a "Nancy: may be living inside of me and right now, I like her. You are a very eloquent writer. I know I will be back to read this again.This had to be very hard for you to put into words, but you did a great job and I for one am grateful you did.Thank-You

Thanks racing-mom4, I really appreciate your kind words. It wasn't that difficult to put into words, I just spoke the truth - I'm kind of numb in many ways from all my experiences. I'm quite sure "Nancy" may live in many nurses, doctors, EMT's etc... who see and deal with the things we have to on a daily basis. I have more stories about "Nancy" and babs, that I will print in the near future. Again, thanks so much, I've received great feedback on this article, it is as therapeutic for me to write about it, as it is for those who read it. God bless.

I have had that split personality feeling also. I assure you that my Babs has always been firmly in control. However, sometimes old Nancy needs to come out and deal with the situation because no one else can.

Thanks for revealing your trade secret to us nursing students. Now we will know who Nancy is if she bubbles up out of our subconscious on those tough days.
