“You’re a nurse?? That’s cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make?”

“What do I make?? I make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you’re scared. I can make your child breathe when they stop. I can help your father survive a heart attack. I make myself stay up all night to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live. What do you make? “

Today I will get to observe a surgery in the operating room! I’m so excited!! Just hoping I don’t sneeze :-)

Bring it on 8-hour nursing school orientation!!
