Just a Little Ray of Hope for Nurses

Keep steppin', girl. one foot in front of the other. you can do it. I believe in you. Keep a-goin'. keep on keepin' on. you'll get there.

thanks for sharing your story. Just dont give up and move on... you can do it!

i am not sure about the Phillipines, but inthe States we have nurses who combine legal/lawyer type work into one speciality. They are legal Nurse Consultants. Seems like the best of both worlds, combining 2 of your favorite things---nursing and being a lawyer?? Best wishes and keep your chin up!

Thank you for sharing your story of personal growth through adversity. You are so right - that if you are able to walk through the fire you will learn many things. If you avoid it and spend the time shaking your fist at the sky, all you have left is the pain. It's awful to suddenly have everything you accepted as truth be shattered. I really understood the part about hating nursing and then learning to love it. I can't say I ever truly hated nursing, but I spent many hours wondering if I had what it takes, why I didn't feel like a "real nurse" and I thought everyone else knew some secret to it that I didn't know. That's why allnurses is such a great thing. It can take away the isolation you feel and wondering if anyone else has felt it. Now I know they did, and do, and we can be there for each other.
