Join us as we enjoy this weeks most active topics. Articles are created by community members (ie. nurses, students, educators, and other trusted professionals) who want to share knowledge, entertain, and discuss current nursing issues.
So, you might have read my first article, When Your Adult Child Makes the Headlines…for the wrong reasons, well, here’s Part 2...
This is meant to be a philosophical discussion about humanity. The topics I am interested in are death, the concept of an afterlife, and human progress in general.
This is my story. It is why I became a believer, it is why I became an unbeliever. It is why I was suicidal. It is why I decided to pursue nursing. It is why I became a CNA. It is the story that defines me as a person, and it is my deepest darkest secret. One I will now share with you.
Even before I entered nursing school I heard horror stories of excessive weight gain or extreme weight loss. Needless to say the other "side effects" were equally horrifying. I finally came to terms with having to lose my figure, hair and health to become a nurse. But that didn't sway me and it still doesn't.
A recent thread about couples in the same career field got me to thinking (always a dangerous endeavor). My husband and I met while we were both active duty military. He was in the USAF and I was in the USN. We were both at military training studying print and broadcast journalism.
Cinderella story is a traditional story. For me, it was more than a story, it was real. It was just another busy night in the labor and delivery unit. Nurses were running around trying to give the report to the oncoming shift; doctors were yelling that they needed another operating room opened for a cesarean section; babies were coming; families were laughing, congratulating each other; and as for the exhausted mothers, they kept on pushing and delivering babies.
The fictional tale of lighthouse keepers in the 1880's, tending a Lake Michigan lighthouse. The characters in this story are completely fictional, while the lighthouse is quite real and still in use. The details of its function, while not necessarily specific to this exact light, are consistent with the general function of lighthouses in this era.
The near-end (I can't resist an epilogue) of the ten-month saga of two women at a lighthouse. Due to the short nature of sections 22 and 23, they have been published below together. The epilogue will be published immediately following this section of writing. Keep an eye out for the last installment.
Please come and join me for a brief journey inside the world of a deeply troubled woman who is contemplating self-deliverance from an existence that has turned bitter in late midlife. Don't be afraid.....I promise to bring you back safe and sound.

Simple things in life, like a family of ducks, can teach life lessons that uplift and encourage. Who would ever think that seeing a group of little feathered creatures and a man trying to save them could touch a heart in such a way that shows the true meaning of a Father's love? Here is one such story.
