          Welcome
          From the time I was a little girl, all I can ever remember wanting to be was a nurse. I graduated from Miami Valley Hospital School of Nursing and have worked there ever since. During my 34 year career in nursing, I have worked on virtually every floor/unit in the hospital and have cared for thousands of patients, from newborns to those in their 90's and beyond.

          I love providing bedside nursing care and doing the "little things" like shaving the older gentlemen, giving welcome back rubs, and just taking time out to listen or to hold a hand. I have loved being able to touch people's lives in a positive and caring way.

          Nursing has changed over the years. The educational process spends more time on classroom and book material and less on actual patient care. There is more emphasis on climbing the clinical ladder. Hospitals are run  like businesses. The patients are sicker and the staffing is shorter, so that there is less time to spend at the bedside.

          In this fast paced world of health care, it is easy for nurses and other care-givers to become "disconnected" from their patients. I hope that this web site will help in some small way to "reconnect" people by sharing personal stories and poems about positive nurse/patient relationships.

          I will publish your contributions here. Please send me your stories, poems, thoughts, humor and letters today!
