Michelle E.
Memphis, TN
RN, Pediatric Neuroscience Unit
Being a pediatric nurse is perhaps one of the greatest joys in
my life. I can't tell you how much gratitude I feel toward my
patient's families for entrusting their children with me. I treat
their children as if they were my very own, and give them the
exceptional care that they deserve. Working in the neuroscience area, we see devastating injuries
that miraculously turn out to be a minor setback. Children we care
for in our stepdown unit often return six or eight months later to
hug and kiss you for making them better. And you see the joy in the
parents’ eyes when their children take the first steps in recovery
after the parents had given up hope. My daughter had never really mentioned becoming a nurse, but
even at seventeen, she understands how devoted that I am to
nursing. She said, "Mom, I don't think I could be a nurse, because
you work so hard." I told her, "Yes, you could, because loving
people, and giving your heart and soul to something you believe in
is very easy to do." I encourage anyone thinking about being a
nurse to step up and achieve that goal. You are limited only by
your own obstacles. If you would like to make a difference in
another person's life, then be a nurse. Believe me, it may not be
outwardly visible, but people remember and appreciate the little
things you do, and small deeds do not go unnoticed by those whom
the deeds affect.
