Here's the response I sent back to my teacher. Pretty much sums up how I feel:
Quote:Hi Karen,
Thank you so much for sending that email to let me know about my patient's phone
call. That really just made my day! I've had such a hard time lately with the
extreme amount of pain my headaches are causing, and once in awhile I wonder if
I've made the right decision to take on nursing. I feel that my many hospital
experiences have given me a "leg up" on understanding some of the aspects of
things that patients deal with. Hearing a message like this makes me realize
how very worth it that all of the hard work is! It is worth it to go through
the pain and work if I am going to help other people. Thanks so much for
passing that along!
Carrie

Very cool Lizzie. Very cool.
Not surprising among us though. Don't know what we'd do without you.

I can easily believe it Carrie, not unsurprising for you though and many more will be writing about your caring in your future.

Kudos to you Carrie!!
You've made a tremendous impact and don't ever forget that. And I think your patient is quite unique for taking the time to let someone know how well they did. Too often all we ever hear or care to do is complain.
CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!! You done good!! Keep it up.
