Through These Eyes

Through These Eyes, is a collection of experiences and challenges in the form of stories during my nursing career that left an indelible mark upon my mind. Some of these experiences help to mold the way I saw my job and cared for my patients. Sometimes in executing one's job as a nurse was like weathering a storm. The medical situation could be very critical, the storm brutal, survival depended on your execution of the client's plan of care to save him/her and to save yourself. On days like that you really had to even breathe thoughtfully. Every day was a challenge to me. I prayed for guidance from a God who doesn't exist for so many but for me the, "I am" was my lifeline. He was here before knowledge; therefore there was never a situation I didn't trust him to help me assess and execute. I fought for every life that was put in my care as though my very existence depended on it. And you know what it did!
