Listening is a SUPERPOWER we’ve almost forgotten! When someone reaches out, it’s essential to listen with INTENT and EMPATHY. As a nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the profound impact of simply understanding someone's needs. Let’s revive true listening and make a difference in someone's life today. #ListeningSkills #EmpathyMatters #MaintainEyeContact

Once a nurse, always a nurse? A few weeks ago, I was driving my kids home from swim practice. We came up to an intersection that I've been through hundreds (if not thousands) of times. Ahead, in the intersection was a car crash between a Ford F-250 and a transfer truck. For those of you not from farming communities, a transfer truck is a truck that is loaded with harvest from an orchard or field and then transfers the produce to a processing plant. I could see my neighbor (a school teacher), who had been 2 cars ahead of us in leaving swim practice, trying to pull what looked to be an older teen out of the truck. There was fuel pouring out of the transfer truck all over the road. The front of the F-250 was all but gone. I quickly pulled off to the side of the road, told my kids to not get out under any circumstances, grabbed my small car first aid kit and ran out (don't worry, I asked my neighbor to go stay with my kids). I used bedside nursing skills that I haven't used in almost a decade and spent the next 20 minutes stabilizing his neck, applying pressure to bleeding areas, and instructing other bystanders on how to help. 20 minutes in, the ambulance finally arrived. After I reported out to the medics and got my kids home, I sat down and reflected. I reflected on how thankful I was to have the knowledge to have been able to help that kid. I reflected on how tiny my first aid kit was and how many more tools I wished I'd had with me. And I realized that no matter what pathways my career takes me down, at my core, I will always be a nurse. I will always look for ways to help those in need. As a Legal Nurse Consultant, I take complex medical records, use my super sleuthing abilities, and help attorneys uncover hidden facts in the chart and the metadata. Intrigued?

*A Heart of Compassion: My Journey as a Nurse* As I reflect on my journey as a nurse, I am filled with a mix of emotions - joy, sadness, frustration, and fulfillment. From the moment I first stepped into a hospital as a wide-eyed student, I knew that this profession would change me in ways I never thought possible. The long hours, the high-pressure situations, the weight of responsibility - these are just a few of the challenges I've faced as a nurse. There have been times when I've felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure if I'm making a difference. But then there are the moments that make it all worth it - the smile on a patient's face when they finally feel better, the gratitude in their eyes when you've made a difference in their care, the trust they place in you when they're at their most vulnerable time Being a nurse has taught me the value of empathy, the importance of communication, and the power of human connection. It's shown me that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope, always a way to make a difference. As I continue on this journey, I am reminded that being a nurse is not just a job - it's a calling, a privilege, and a responsibility. It's a chance to make a difference in the lives of others, one patient at a time. https://lnkd.in/dv4-MCBZ #nursinglife #healthcare #clicksense #goviral
