When you actually ''save'' a life

What a great story and so true it gaveme chills reading it.

Great story

Well you definitely made an impact in my life by seeing how humble nurses can be. You patient may not knowwhat you did, but you know, and that's all that matters. The more you give, you get back ten times over.God Bless you and I know an angel is on your shoulder watching every thing you do for people.

That brought tears to my eyes!

Thank you. I have even a stronger reason to keep my passion for nursing alive, as well as my compassion for my patients.

The reason I have always loved being a nurse.Well said!!!!

Wow, what a great story. I felt similarly about a patient once. I didn't have to do CPR or anything. But when I was on my clinical rotation in the ICU there was this man who was on a ventilator and the nurse I was with said she didn't expect him to make it. We took care of him and I helped bathe him and turn him. About a month later while I was working as a tech on my floor (med-surg) in the same hospital, he was there and was alert and on the mend. He was confused and his toes were black and were going to be amputated. But I remember thinking how amazing it was that he made it so far. Not as cool of a story as yours, but it still resonated with me.

Wow Amazing!!

We bring a lot of patients back to be vegetables and die. We also bring a lot of people back to go back to living their normal lives. It's usually hard to tell within the first 12 hours s/p code, but it's definitely shocking when you see someone who was dead a few days or weeks ago up and walking the halls. Good story!

What a great story, I got goosebumps. Thank you for sharing.

Bravo! I love the fact that you are so humble! Your testimony was very inspirational. Stay blessed.

I'm going to school to be a rn. I'm so nervous. I start in january. A part of me feels like I can't do this, or have it in me... You're story just gave me so much motivation. I hope I do well and I hope I love my job. Some of these post are scary... some people really say horrible things about being a nurse... Thanks for the story!
