NOT GONNA LIE!

I could get used to these four hour shifts. I could REALLY get used to them! Oy. Little update...Gradual return to work program, physio, wcb. Everything is going smoothly...still sore, uber tired...takes time I guess.

It's National Nursing Week, International Nursing Day on May 12, which is incidentally Florence Nightingale's birthday.

Good ole Flo. Our "mother" of nursing, the "Lady with the Lamp", a pioneer who laid the very foundation for what we do today. On a related note, National LPN Day is on the 13th. (WOOT) Not trying to toot our own horns but gigiddy, nurses do a hard job. But a rewarding job. I love what I do, I love what my workmates do. The people I work with make my job enjoyable to go to everyday. The rewards of making a patient better enough to go home, or assisting a patient & their family through difficult times are beyond measure. It was easily the best decision/career change I could have made. I learn so much everyday from every person I come into contact with at the hospital & I get to celebrate tomorrow with my workmates...can't wait!

So on that note, raise a glass to nurses this week, be thankful for your health, protect your health, & cherish your family & friends.
