Valuable Gifts That Can Give Inner Peace to RNs
As the holiday seasons get closer most people are excitedly anticipating the gifts that they will receive.
RNs are not different; they also are preparing and waiting for the gifts that their loved ones will give them this Christmas season.
On hindsight, gifts are mostly material ones.
That is not surprising since we mostly live in a material world.
But there is still hope, there still valuable gifts that money cannot buy.
As RNs these are some of the things we need so that we can survive and live a much happier life.
Compassion It is sometimes ironic that RNs can show compassion to their patients.
However, when it comes to themselves, they are stingy and do not give themselves the proper compassion that they deserve as well.
Be kind to yourself especially when you commit errors.
It is not the end of the world, errors are common so forgive and be compassionate to yourself when this happens.
Truthfulness As nurses, you live by the oath you have made when you started this career.
Part of that oath is to be always truthful and honest with your dealings.
It is not an easy path to take but this is the most worthy one.
So, leave the lies and untruths behind and start living each day with honesty and truth.
Consistency There are already many inconsistencies in this world; to live your life following this precept can be hard and stressful.
Make the habit of doing things consistently despite the hardship that you will face.
Learning It is said that man does not stop learning even after graduation.
This is also the same with nurses.
We always learn new things during our duties and shifts but it would be more meaningful if you have a continuing education as well.
This can help in improving doing procedures as well as gain new insights in the field of medical care.
Acceptance Accepting things that is beyond your control is a gift that you should also give yourself.
This would mean that there are really situations and events that you cannot predict therefore prevent from happening.
So, it is best that when this situation arises, you are ready to let it go and accept it.
Gifts are precious especially when being given by our loved ones, but it can also be more precious if you consider these gifts you can give yourself to allow you to live a more productive life as an RN.
