That is an incredible story. I love it. I can't wait for little moments like this for myself. I get such gratification when my patients appreciate what I do for them. Sometimes I feel like I get more out of it than they do. Hope thats what makes a great nurse.

I am not an RN yet, but will start my first term of nursing school in September. I have been working as a medical assistant for some time. The last year has been at a pediatric clinic. After giving immunizations I will ask some of the older kids if they are mad at me. With tears in their eyes they reply "no". Sometimes I get a pretty big hug from them. I sure am going to miss all of that when I leave, but I just keep telling myself I have so many different things to look forward to.
