WHY.....?

I am a Geriatric Nurse. I didn't really "choose" this field of nursing. I am starting to think it has chosen me. I have done several types of nursing over my past 20(+) years in medical services, but I keep coming back to my old folks. It's always good to know yourself and through the years I have figured out that there hasn't been many other fields of nursing that I have a passion for, or that I enjoy doing so well. There is just something about helping someone that has been through "it". They have weathered all the storms that I am going through. They have made it through the trials that life brings all of us and most are still smiling. They are crippled up and can hardly walk or can't walk at all, and yet, most don't even complain. It is my pleasure to serve them, to help them when they can't even ask for help.

HAPPY NURSE'S WEEK

Happy Nurse's Week!!!!!👴😷👵  

 What a crazy Nurse's Week we have had this year.  2020 has been a year like I sure never thought I would see.  I am not sure what it is exactly but I know it has rocked the world.  I for one truly do not know what to believe as far as this global pandemic crap goes.  I do know that it is political on both sides of the isle.  I am truly thankful to all my wonderful staff.  We have all grumbled and complained, struggled, been agitated, and are weathering the storm.  We all hate the stupid masks and at the same time are pissed off that we had to have our wonderful community make them for us.  We all hate all the stupid restrictions but are so grateful that this virus has not hit our building.  We want a delicious lunch but thankful that at least we don't have to pay for it.   We are so tired of being essential but grateful we have a job.  We are really tired of non-essential people buying up crap while we are essentially working.  We want to smile at our old folks, but happy they are protected.

 So,  Thank You to every one of my nurses for coming in and riding this crazy Geriatric Nurse life.
     Thank You to all my CMT's you know the power that your job has ;) No one want to be there if the drug dealer isn't there.
     Thank You to all my CNA's.  Our eyes, ears and running feet.
     Thank You to to the Boss Man for listening to me complain and even cry at times.  Thank You for the crazy rules to keep this shit out of our building because it is working.

 We are all part of a big team family.  One doesn't work without the other and I am so grateful for you all.
