Hello everyone!!!!
Welcome to my ePortfolio. My name is Tatyana Lekomtseva. I am a RN nurse in the Recovery Room. My ePortfolio is both a Learning Blog and an Academic Career Portfolio.
I want to share with all of you this poem that represents what I feel and think about my profession as being a Nurse.
Hearts of Gold
Sherry York
There are times in our lives when we sit down and wonder where our lives will lead us.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our jobs that we forget what we truly represent.
We get frustrated, aggravated, pushed to the limits and so mentally tired that we feel what is the use in being a Nurse.
But then someone gives us a weak smile or holds our hand and may say ” thank you, you are so special.”
Then we feel the warmth growing in our hearts.
All the bad feelings disappear and replaced by the core values that we present:
human dignity, compassion, dedication, integrity, stewardship, leadership and excellence.
So when the bad feelings begin to show take the times to say this prayer:
Lord, help me to bring comfort where there is pain.
Courage where there is despair.
Acceptance when the end is near.
A touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love.
And, always remember, all Nurses are truly blessed.
For you see — God gave Hearts of Gold.
