Hello Nurse Tina! It's always refreshing to hear from nurses about their experiences on the job. This reminds me of the cycle of life, and how similar the elderly are to babies. To know that these individuals who were once adults with blossoming careers in their youths, are now having to be cared for. It's a sad but beautiful thing; bittersweet is the word.
Keep doing the Lord's work. You might think it's just a job, but your job is touching people's lives, I mean taking care of the elderly is a blessing in itself. Well done.
I'm Zita, a new grad nurse and it's lovely to meet you🙂.
Hello, and congratulations ❤️! I just want to say, this job needs to be done with your heart, but it's important to maintain some distance from your patients. It hurts when someone dies, especially if you're working in a nursing home :/. And yes, sometimes it really feels like I'm working with babies, but they no longer have a future, and working with dementia patients is really tough. Kids can learn, but they can’t. I can't imagine working in a hospital, that would be too painful for me. Seeing people of all ages, knowing you can’t always help them... But when you can help, it’s the most beautiful feeling you can have. I wish you all the best in your new profession, and stay strong! Thanks for stopping by Nurse Zita ☺️
