- I promise to not write long posts and share only positive entries. It's time we start revamping social media by promoting what we love instead of bashing what we hate.
So let's go. You now know that I am an ER nurse. I have only been in the field for two years now and I must say in order to be not just a nurse, but an ER nurse takes a "special" breed. In fact "special" is a term used in my workplace frequently. A patient checks in with a chief complaint and sometimes the only response that comes to mind is…."Oh that's special." I owe my career a big thank you for helping me discover who I am. In the past I found myself always relying on society to guide me on how to dress, act, or even think. But after two years of working with the most exceptional team I could ask for, I finally found Tara. And, she isn't so tarable after all :)
It is them, the people I work with nightly who brought me to the surface. I know it is because of the events we've experienced together. The nights we lose someone, or better yet save their life and keep them in this world. The nights when I frantically yell, "CAN I GET SOME HELP IN HERE?" Then I look up and see not just one person, but my entire team there for me and it's all because we have a "special" bond. I owe it to them, they are the reason I feel safe with sharing these thoughts and feelings through posts. Because in my career an ER nurse can't show emotions often. So this is dedicated to you and y'all know exactly who you are, my "special" people.
XOXO, Tara
