Real life begins!

Dominican Republic
(originally written Tuesday, August 3, 2010)



Now that my years of nursing at McGill University are over, I have a whole new life ahead of me! This will be my way to keep everyone updated and hopefully inspire a few people along the way. 


This is something that was given to me on my first day:


Being a Nurse Means
-Anonymous


You will never be bored
You will always be frustrated
You will be surrounded by challenges.
So much to do and so little time
You will carry immense responsibility
And limited authority.
You will step into people’s lives
And you will make a difference.
Some will bless you,
Some will curse you.
You will see people at their worst
And at their best.
You will never cease to be amazed
At people’s capacity for
Love, courage, and endurance.
You will experience resounding triumphs
And devastating failures.
You will cry a lot.
You will laugh a lot.
You will know what it is to be human
And to be humane.
