Lighting ceremony is an auspicious occasion in every nurse's life with reverence to Florence Nightingale. Nursing is the only profession that follows lamp lighting ceremonies. Here light not only symbolizes knowledge which removes ignorance and is a lasting wealth by which lots could be achieved but it also signifies the enlightenment, experience, hope, love, comfort, and positivity _ driving away from the negativity that darkens everything. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Last week my daughter’s preschool had a Community Hero themed week. Her teacher asked if I would come in and talk to the kids about being a nurse. It was the best. I brought my stethoscope for them to listen to their own hearts. They got to wear gloves and I made little finger splints for each of them. To be honest, I don’t always enjoy talking about being a nurse, or maybe it’s just the questions/comments that usually follow: ‘What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen?’ ‘ER’s are the worst. Everyone is so slow’ ‘Do you really see people die?’ But this, this was so fun. And their questions and comments never disappoint: ‘Do you take care of aliens?’ ‘Why do hospitals smell weird?’ We came up with stories for why they needed finger splints. We talked about why our hearts make that ‘bump bump’ sound. We made glove balloons. We talked about how sometimes hospitals can feel scary, and how it’s okay to ask doctors and nurses question about what is making us feel scared. My most favorite part of the morning was my daughter’s introduction: ‘This is my mommy and she is a NURSE. She helps people feel better and she’s really good at it.’ Wow. I didn’t think there was anything better than the feeling of being proud of your kids. But hearing my daughter talk proudly about me in that way about made my heart burst! 🩺 Taking my 13+ years of nursing experience and using it to assist in the legal field ⚖️ 📧 jessica.medina.lnc@gmail.com #expertwitness #legalnurseconsultant #medicalmalpractice #personalinjury #emergencyroomnurse #traumanurse #criticalcarenurse #nursesonlinkedin
