Whatever Comes To My Mind

When my sister told me that she wants to be a nurse, I have nothing but support for her. She has been doing well academically in high school and I am sure the road in taking her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing will be challenging yet fun for her. I have seen myself in and out of the hospital before in my younger years and being cared for with a nurse. I have always been so impressed with the compassion and the dedication they have showed to their patients including me. If only I am not afraid of blood, I know being a nurse would have been my number one choice.

Even if I am not a nurse, I also like reading and educating myself with the latest research and just about anything regarding health conditions that might affect my family. I have a two year old baby, a husband and my Dad lives with us so as a mom and wife, I want to prepare myself for any illnesses that might come our way. In fact, there is this good living online magazine that I enjoy reading and it is called Scrubs. You really don’t have to be a nurse to take advantage of the informative resources that they offer nurses. What I love so much about Scrubs is it is very inspiring, uplifting and timely with what we are currently experiencing today. Not to mention I love the color of their website too. It is very soothing to my eyes. I am glad that nurses have a place where they can get helpful information, as well as a place where they are recognized for their hard work everyday and of course ways for them to always look at their best.

If there is one nurse that I really admired, it would be Saundra Falk, RN. She was very creative that something that would have been a painful experience to a child was replaced with ease because of her brilliant idea. Saundra and the Sew Angelic let children who are undergoing a surgery choose their own keepsake cap to distract them from their up coming surgery and for that she deserved the scrubby award. I have always admired nurses since day one even if it is fictional or not. Carol Hathaway of ER is my number one fictional nurse because she is so sensitive about the lack of recognition that nurses gets in ER.

Trust me there are a lot of fun things to read especially real life stories in Scrubs. I may have to let my sister know about this online magazine too. I am sure she will be able to relate.
