This is for all of you,
My first patients as a Graduate Nurse.
You will get my Best.
Sadly, ironically....and necessarily...
I have found myself prioritizing care;
Often at the end of a shift
Feeling empty
Because I just could not do it all.
( Dearest God, help me to keep this energy.
Help me continue to care for these sick lambs
Of your flock.
Show me how to nurture myself
So that the love does not flow out of me
And never come back again.
Please help me to renew myself daily
So that these patients get years of my Best.
Guide me, Lord.)
Damn.
This sure ain't what they taught us in the classroom.
