I am also a retired nurse....I worked in med/surg with adults my entire career, with the end years focusing on Hospice.Hi Ruth,
This is a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing your blessings.
A little about me
I am a Retired R.N. that specialized in Obstetrics. I love delivering babies and welcoming them in Jesus' name into the world. I want to share my very first experience seeing a baby Born so many years ago.
I was very young, barely legal, in my last year of college to get my degree in Nursing.
It was my rotation through the obstetrics unit. I was fortunate to rotate through a large medical center. The Nurses knew I was very excited to see a baby born so they came and got me when one was ready. I was so happy, and excited. They placed me as close to the mother as I could get without being in the way. When the baby started coming out, oh my, it was truly a religious experience. I mean it is branded on my soul forever. I knew I would never see anything else in this life that was more wonderful and awe inspiring. I think I was holding my breath. I remember gasping " I have got to do THIS for a living. The Head nurse heard me and later asked me if I was serious about wanting to do Obstetrics for a living. I told her "Oh Yes" She gave me a job right there and then and told me to report after I graduated.I know what it feels like when people take drugs to get high. For my whole career, every time I delivered one I got an incredible rush of awesome wonder. There were times when the news was not good. But the good news was awesome.. To hear that first cry. To experience holding that tiny life in my arms, never over thirty some years never got old. If you know anyone who are young, in nursing, and wants and experience that will never get old, tell them to try obstetrics.
Thanksi love your yellow canary gail :^)
