Nurse…? that may be my title,

but…I am more than just a person who wears a stethoscope and checks your vitals.

My skills extend beyond the treatment of illnesses —whether the disease is a disorder, something bacterial, or viral.

I think when they referred to me as “Nurse” that may have been a typo.

I am a healer, here with them through all kinds of distress.

I encourage them when they are depressed—

treating and recognizing them as human beings—even when…they consider themselves less.

I encourage them to remain optimistic, regardless of the results of their test(s).

By Willy the Wizard on Unsplash

I am their informal chaplain- aiding them to cope with anxiety and stress;

enchanting their spirits —intangibly delivering their prayers to GOD, with great hopes…their prayers manifest.

By Jonathan Borba on Unsplash

Nonetheless,

being a nurse requires finesse.

In all aspects, my duty is to ensure that you, and your loved ones are emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically, at their very best.
