gh4 card caddy 200+ cards!!!

I work as a nurse on a ward that deals primarily with medical issues

I know you are all like "what does that mean?" LOL

I will sum it up quickly

what it means is that we are a very busy place

with so many stressful situations every day.

I am the Clinical Resource...I know what does that mean? LOL

it simple means that when the staff have issues with patients, staff or procedures

I try to help them :)

However there are also so many times when my girls solve issues themselves.

They are awesome individuals who I have the pleasure to work with

and for many I have the pleasure of calling them my friends too.

We spend so much time together,

endure so many shifts without breaks

or just times when our hearts are broken

& our minds are overwhelmed.

I call them my girls/peeps

cause I think of them as family

and would not only want to protect them...try to everyday!

When I think of the little things I witness daily,

and huge things that have occurred at work

I always think of the amazing staff!

I think of all the tears,

the hugs,

the fears,

the excellence

the stress,

and the happiness

I have been lucky enough to be part of.

I think of these times and wish I had a card to pull that new girl up after a med error, after a "code blue" when the nurse knew there was something wrong but couldn't prevent it, to help that nurse that gave 100% of her day to her dying patient (including her break) and then spent 15 minutes crying to me cause she felt she should have done more.

I wish I had a card for every single time a person unintentionally hurt someone's feelings,

yelled at someone out of frustration, or hugged a patient in the hall. I wish there was a card to make sure every single person I work with feels valued, appreciated and special...cause my word that is what these people are!!!

I made this card caddy to put at the desk at work, so when others notice someone or something special, they "can" grab a card & let them know. I want to try to prevent all this "awesomeness" from going unnoticed.

hope you like it :)
