Well it is drawing near the end of 2010...I haven't written as many posts as would have liked...but have reflected a lot over the past several weeks on how fortunate I am to provide the care to my patients.... I have been at my current place of employment for over 9 years and will celebrate my 10th year in May. I have seen many changes all very good changes that add to the quality care . These changes are ongoing and continue to look at better ways to ensure good health care . Through the years, I have cared for many patients during their inpatient stay on the subacute unit I work...I have had the pleasure of seeing these patient as they come back for their outpatient followup and occassional visits back to my unit. Some of my patients have lost their struggle for life....although it is also sad to see one past...knowing that quality end of life care was provided helps ease the pain of their struggle and lost....I am blessed to work with many fine nurses, nursing assitants, doctors, PA's ,lab ,resp and ancillary personnel...My co workers help make the busiest and craziest days bearable....for this; it makes looking forward to each new day a challenge and pleasure to come to work...I thank my family for allowing me to pursue my dreams and career goal of becoming a nurse practitioner...they were supprotive and patient with me during my schooling and continue to provide positive strokes each day I come home from a good or bad day at work...they enjoy my stories of challenges and joys...for this I thank all who have been there to help me be the best I can be in providing the care required to my patients....
I wish all my patients, their families; my co workers and my family and friends a Blessed Holiday Season and Happy and Healthy New Year...I look forward to next year and hopefully can blog more often...
Happy Holiday to all and Happy blogging!
