I'll be taking care of you today.

Becoming a nurse was never truly a choice, but an inborn need to help people return to a normal life, or cope with the new life they must accept. I make it a point to find humor in the most awkward of situations, and to find peace when everything is falling apart. In this blog you will find stories of patients who touched me with their kind words, their acceptance of a terminal illness, humorous moments, and examples of how the human condition unites families.

While some posts may be sad, some frustrating, and some hilarious, others will simply be what the title suggests. They will be tales from the bedside of those people I have cared for. True identities will never be used, but diagnoses, symptoms, treatments, and my role in their care will be honest and factual. My goal for this blog is for readers to enjoy learning and understanding what being an RN is all about. I hope that the reasons I love my job will pour out of the stories, and no person will walk away from their screen feeling empty, but thankful for the life they have.
