Look Closer - A Nurse's Reply


What do we, you ask, what do we see ?
Yes, we are thinking when looking at thee!
We may seem to be hard when we hurry and fuss,
But there's many of you and too few of us.
We would like far more time to sit by you and talk,
To bath you and feed you and help you to walk,
To hear of your lives and the things you have done;
Your childhood, your husband, your daughter, your son,
But time is against us, there's too much to do-
Patients too many and nurses too few.
We grieve when we see you so sad and alone,
With nobody near you, no friends of your own.
We feel all your pain, and know of your fear
That nobody cares now your end is so near.

But nurses are people with feelings as well,
And when we're together, you'll often hear tell
Of the dearest old Gran in the very end bed,
And the lovely old Dad, and the things that he said,
We speak with compassion and love, and feel sad
When we think of yours and the joy that you've had.
When the time has arrived for you to depart,
You leave us behind with an ache in our heart.

When you sleep the long sleep, no more worry or care,
There are other old people, and we mist be there.
So please understand if we hurry and fuss--
There are many of you and too few of us.

NURSES'S; Hearts of Gold

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 feelins 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 ANGELS.
For you see --- God gave of Hearts of Gold.

National Youth Service Year is a time to give in your own little way something profitable to the community you find yourself. It’s a time to say thank you to the government and a way to do that is to develop ideas and bring to a manifestation projects that will make Nigeria a better place.
