The more things change, the more they stay the same. This originally ran in 2011, we thought it was more relevant than ever.
This world is a chaotic place, and here we are, trying to maintain some kind of order in our little corner of it.
Most of the time it seems futile, but in many ways that is our job. Maintain order and sanity for our kids at home, for our teams at work, and all that while trying to predict the next curveball, making sure we live to fight another day.
The Gapingvoid team is putting together a special eBook for Nursing Month (May) and we're welcoming our friends/fans to contribute to this eBook. The ask is for you to write a story about a meaningful experience you've had with a nurse in your life in the form of a letter to them.
This is just one example of the many letters we’ve received, so far!
Dear Elizabeth,
You are such a caring and compassionate nursing leader. You consistently put yourself back in your former frontline ED nursing shoes and consistently advocate to meet your team’s needs. It’s such a pleasure to work with someone who leads with passion and for whom always puts their team first.
Engagement cannot be bought; it’s earned. You’ve earned an engaged nursing team of hundreds of amazing difference-makers that are saving lives every day.
