A Christmas to Remember

As nurses we have to work many holidays but inpatient facilities really remind you that at least you get to go home after your shift. The one thing we can do is try to brighten up the holiday for those who are alone or sick or injured. This brought back memories of Christmases working in the hospital. I used to volunteer to work so the gals who had kids could be off. It was always a strange day- unusually quiet and yet filled with hope. You feel closer to the patients when you are together at the holidays. Thanks for reminding us to be grateful.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience.I am working abroad and this is the first time that I will be celebrating Christmas without my family.Nevertheless, I am happy and excited for our Christmas party with my co-staff nurses.Merry Christmwas everyone!

From an old Persian work of times past "I cried because I had no shoes till I met a man who had no feet" Merry Christmas and all that to all who chose to read these lines.

What a great "light bulb moment". Thank you for sharing it with us. Christmas is a time to stop and reflect on our blessings.

Beautiful story But I have to ask... did you marry the guy?!!

Orthonurse55, You truly touched my heart with this moving story, it reminds me of many Christmas that I spend with my V.A. patients over the years even now after 35yr in my beloved nursing career I still volunteer to spend Christmas with my patients. May you receive all the blessings that you deserve.........Happy Holidays...... ALOHA~
