Its interesting that whether you are a nursing professional or an ancillary professional how things affect you. I am the executive director of a non profit it has nothing to do with nursing. And still… I feel like I wouldn’t be here doing what I’m doing if it weren’t for who I am which is a nurse and then it becomes a chicken and the egg question.

If I took a different fork on the road, would I have been this person? The one that chose rescuing thousands of pets in need? Well I might not have married the man I married, I might not have progressed and had 4 great kids, and a wonderful career. I might not have moved to my present home which was so totally dog rescue friendly. None of this was preplanned. What does this have to do with nursing??? IDK maybe??? compassion, being gracious, kind and magnanimous just because? It was never a question for me. I was always going to be kind, gracious and giving, in every circumstance, as much as possible. Did I get taken advantage of? YES! By people with sweet angelic names that were super skilled at fooling their givers as well as themselves. I got schooled. It was hard and really harsh. I mean I am the person that loves and believes everyone, and now I have have been violated so I believe NO ONE. Well Here we are I am living this life that I thought would be my best years, Relaxed and happy , cruising into a great time of relaxing .
