I don't have to fake a smile

At work, some days are stressful, busy, toxic or exhausting well most jobs are, you're going crazy trying to finish and catch up with all the things u need to do, assessments, meds and interventions to complications during dialysis tx, sometimes there's too much going and u forget to smile or pay attention to ur patients. Then, out of the blue, a patient will say something really nice and u know it's from their heart and everything goes away, all the stress just disappears right there. You think you the one making them better but actually my patients taught me to become a better person, they taught me to become more patient, and more understanding, they challenge me to widen my knowledge when they ask me questions. well i have my days that i get irritated and some patients that just get into my nerves, But to have more good people to take care of? I think its all worth it. I don't have to fake a smile. The hugs, the smile and thank you's are enough to keep me going for another day. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
