So you want an adventure? Have you ever tried Nursing?

Good insight. Too many of us don't think to take time to re-charge those batteries. It doesn't even have to be a long vacation either. I worked corrections of a sort for 6 months. It was an in-house prison unit at a large county hospital. I was amazed on how grateful my patients were for the kindness I showed them. They treated me with respect and I did the same to them. Lot's of psych patients though.

Great advice! Thank you for sharing. Even though I have never worked in corrections I can relate.

I love your passion and gave you four stars. If this were not a contest, I would not have nit picked. But, with me there were opposites. It was when I stopped practicing as a new grad and when I became comfortable, that I became a wise, compassionate nurse. Always learning and seeing things through new experiences and mature intellect and emotion. When I stopped worrying about other nurses, (their motives, styles, what they do) and worried about myself, ( am I being my best) that is when I became the best nurse I could be. Thanks for a thoughtful and meaningful article. I am glad you are a sister. Peace!
