Just Some of Clarian’s Finest

Last week I once again had the privilege of participating in the Career Advancement Program Board of Review. It is without a doubt one of the most sustaining things I have ever continued to do in my career. Among all of contents of the portfolios that are submitted by nurses throughout the downtown hospitals are exemplars. These are stories of their practice, told in their own words. It is truly unbelievable and inspiring, the work that goes on here, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Most of it is done quietly, with little fanfare. But to the person on the receiving end of this compassionate care, the patient, the family, the friends….all who are blessed by such outstanding care, it is awesome. It is a nurse who literally saves a life because of her attention to detail when things start to go wrong. It is the patient who mentions he doesn’t like to be alone, so his nurse makes a point of staying with him as much as she can, especially in the dark of night. It is countless stories of loss, where the kind, comforting words and touch of the nurse are so timely and never, ever forgotten by the families whose lives have been changed forever. So many stories like these. Everyday, there are heroes among us. Going about the work of nursing, making a difference. I’m glad to be a part of the team.
