Tonight, I got a call from a family member of a patient I was very close to, telling me she passed away. The husband was so hurt, and crying, but said he wanted to call and tell me himself and said they loved me like their own. I’m so heart broken.
Being a hospice nurse has opened my eyes to so much. I get so attached to my patients and families. Count your blessings, you never know when they will be gone!
@ChelseaHouska I made my husband so mad when designing our house plan, we had to redesign the location of the basement stairs. It was where I want the Christmas tree so.....
Being a nurse is the most rewarding thing, but also so hard. Today a family told me they were so thankful for the care I’ve provided to their loved one, and that I’m right where I need to be. That’s why I do what I do. #criticalcare#registerednurse
