"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12).
We are nursing students: experienced, fresh, and new to the medical field. We are still being molded into great nurses and we are still learning new concepts everyday (seems like every minute). However, we need to believe in ourselves. We need to mature in strength and knowledge, but we also need to grow in confidence. I struggle with believing in myself...and most of the time I find that others have more confidence in me than I do in myself. But that's not how life is always going to work. We won't have our professors standing near, and we won't have the ability to say "Prom (Professor)...what do you think about this?" We are young, and as long as we have this support group of students and professors we should be thankful for them and find support through them; but I also discovered that they won't always be there and slowly I need to mature into the nurse that they're molding me to be. Strong, caring, knowledgeable, and confident!
Thanks for the help on Friday Prom!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's so true! Like today for example, when you and I worked with the Russian lady. The nurse told me how today was the first day that she was pleasant and cooperated in care. She was not constantly complaining and wanting to go home. It helped that you were able to communicate with her, but also that we put effort into her situation. I'm sure she saw that, and we were able to make a great impact. We won't let anyone look down on us because of our youth!!! We find our confidence in the Lord.
