Give yourself time - time to learn, time to acquire skills and experience, time to gain insight and knowledge. A nursing career is a marathon, not a sprint.

I loved the idea of knowing every detail of care that is being provided for our patients and having that feeling of gratitude knowing that I’ve made a difference in that person’s, or family’s, life.

“We are often not holding a seat at the table where tomorrow’s vision of healthcare is actively being developed. Who better than a nurse to advocate for the patient experience of healthcare whose expertise lies in caring for the patient in totality - mind, body, and spirit?”

I have had amazing mentors throughout my career. Every nurse needs someone in that role to be able to pick up the phone and call. I try to be that for others as well. It’s just so important.

In The Field: Looking Back and Looking Ahead, a Special Edition

“Nurses like Luke are once again having to leave their loved ones at home to help their loved ones in the field. They’ll miss the holidays. They’re still going into battle without adequate armor, and this time, they’re not leaving hopeful or quietly.”

I always asked my college professors a TON of questions while in school. At work, I look up to my more experienced nursing colleagues for guidance nursing and non-nursing related!!
