As previously posted and according to Florence Nightingale "Nursing is an art"...looking in on the outside the finished product look so simple, it doesnt show the sweat and the labour of the artist just this beautiful finish. Therefore it is only in the heart of the artist that this sense of overwhelming satisfaction exists. Similar when nursing a patient..u just get this feeling of satisfaction when you see a patient leaving for home with his or her relatives remembering that patient's condition when he or she first entered ur institution. Working with children is very heart rending but at the same time it is truly rewarding..they bring so much joy...no matter how down i feel in the mornings all i need to lift my spirit is to receive one child on the ward...They are just so innocent and sweet...It pains my heart tho to care for a child with advanced Ca, who doesnt have a clue as to the seriousness of his illness but just appear so happy and optimistic about going home soon and going back to school.. I RECOMMEND THAT ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE A GENUINE LOVE FOR PEOPLE ENTER INTO THE FIELD OF NURSING CAUSE TO SOME NURSING IS JUST A CAREER WHILE TO OTHERS IT IS A WAY OF LIFE,A COMMITMENT,AND A DRIVE THAT KEEPS US GOING...IT IS TRULY A CALLING...
