Being a Registered Nurse

I am still licensed as a Registered Nurse even though I was forced to retire in 2019 due to my heart condition, I unfortunately will never be able to work again because I can't stand up much longer than 10-15 minutes at a time so that takes nursing out of the game plan. I keep my license active because I worked very hard to get it & I will not just let it go, I still read to keep up to date on things especially for my families sake if they have issues or questions & it keeps my mind busy. I will always renew it as long as I'm alive & able, its very special to me and a huge accomplishment in my life. 

I was a single mom of 3 when I attended nursing school & managed to complete it and showed my kids that you can achieve anything if you work hard & want it bad enough. I hope they carry that with them & pass that mindset on to my grandkids also. It was not easy but they know it was worth it, hopefully those are the things they remember when I'm gone from this world. I know that there will be many things remembered but my strong stance for doing whats right for my family, I hope is the Most remembered 🙏. 

I feel nursing has lost much credibility lately & I hope those that have no-one to ask things of get the help they need because the medical community has done a disservice to people over the past few years & its a shame. I know I am a fighter & question and read & don't just go along with things but I feel bad for the lay person without medical knowledge,  its shameful what's happened 😒 I don't think people will realize what's really been done for a couple years yet & God help them that couldn't stand firm on their beliefs. We all choose the hill we will die & fight on!
