Showing off....

So, this is it...my other "home." It is Salmon Creek Hospital, it is a place I am very proud of. I have made it my home, and plan on staying there...for a really long time. I have the job, I believe I was meant to have. God has blessed me with a helpful heart, and with children I have found the perfect fit. Being able to help sick children, children in need, & dying children, has become my "calling." I had no idea more than 8 years ago, that I would end up a Pediatric Emergency Room Nurse, but now that I have...I feel fulfilled. Not that my job is "perfect" or that I love to go everyday, but I just know it is the place for my heart to give to others. I could never imagine my life without it. My heart has been broken, and those close to me know that there are children that I will never forget, children that my heart has been broken for. This is no easy job, painless job, or simple job. Everyday is a challenge to help others, and do it with a loving, open heart is what I try to do. These children whose lives I touch, also touch mine, and I KNOW that I have several little "angels" watching over me! I got to show the hospital off to Heather on Saturday....we had a lot of fun...and I think she had a good time getting a little glimpse into the other part of my life.

Can't wait to see it in person...on friendly terms of course....and not there for any related kidlet patients.
