Working with our youth and adults in our community in assisting them on their journey, emotionally, spiritually, has become essential in nursing. It is necessary when assessing their needs that we include this in all our care. It's a blessing to give back to our community by helping them with what I call a lifelong journey in nursing.

I see it as a honor and privelage to have given a part of myself to them and blessing it is to participate in their last moments. I can only pray that I did make an impact for each one. Working one on one regardless of services provided, age, or circumstance, is why I became a nurse. It's providing care to a person who is in need. It's not always a medical need.
