I agree with that statement. I like to think that I spend my days taking care of patients and making a difference in people's lives.

How very true, and thought provoking.
I hope to spend my days making my patients know that they are cared for and that their best interests are at the top of my list.
Wouldn't it be great to start every workday with an inspirational quote like this one?

Hello Friend,
This is not a dress rehersal. This is Life as we know for time and eternity. My name is Craig J. Phillips. I am a traumatic brain injury survivor and a master’s level rehabilitation counselor. I sustained an open skull fracture with right frontal lobe damage and remained in a coma for 3 weeks at the age of 10 in August of 1967. I underwent brain and skull surgery after waking from the coma. Follow-up cognitive and psyche / social testing revealed that I would not be able to succeed beyond high school. In 1967 Neurological Rehabilitation was not available to me, so I had to teach myself how to walk, talk, read, write and speak in complete sentences. I completed high school on time and went on to obtain both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. For an in depth view of my process please read my post, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/my-journey-thus-far/
Through out my lifetime I developed strategies to overcome many obstacles and in so doing I have achieved far beyond all reasonable expectations. On February 6, 2007 at the encouragement of a friend I created Second Chance to Live. Second Chance to Live, which is located at http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com presents topics in such a way to encourage, motivate and empower the reader to live life on life’s terms. I believe our circumstances are not meant to keep us down, but to build us up. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, I speak from my experience, strength and hope. As a professional, I provide information to encourage, motivate and empower both disabled and non-disabled individuals to not give up on their process. Please read my post, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/the-power-of-identification/
Please encourage your readers to visit Second Chance to Live at http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com and consider adding Second Chance to Live to your web site as a useful resource.
Thank you for your time and kindness.
Have a simply phenomenal day!

Our circumstances are not meant to keep us down, but to build us up!
Wow, hard to follow that last post. I think the way we live our lives defines who we become. No matter what happens to us during our time here we cannot allow a negative nursing diagnosis to get us down. There are always remedies and ways to cope with any situation life throws at you.
