Through the recent semesters as a nursing student at South Dakota State University, I have had the amazing opportunity to learn in the clinical setting. Each semester, we are assigned a new clinical rotation; one in which we learn new nursing techniques and cares for those in the hospital. This has opened my mind, heart, and soul for the past two years.
I am a person who really does try to take every opportunity to learn (even if it is statistics). But the most important lesson I have learned through this nursing experience, is the capability to care. We as humans have a great gift to care and Love. Even in the imperfection of it at times, we are capable of loving. Through my clinical rotations I have been able to care for the sick. To take these individuals and show them compassion and kindness when they are at their weakest in life, weather that is coming out of surgery, having a baby, or even preparing for death. It is this experience that I have come to know more about the mercy of our Lord, Jesus Christ. I try my best to care for these men, women, and children, but I am nothing without Christ. He is my Rock and the one who has shown me how to love and to care. Yes, I have learned this from my family and friends as well, but where did they learn this? It is from our Father in Heaven, through his Son, Jesus Christ. We can all love, but is it the true love of God? How can we know this? Just simply pray and ask him to fill you with the grace he can bestow. His Love Endures forever, even in the rough times at the hospital.
The point I am getting at is that I have chosen a major at college; Nursing. Now that I look back I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But now, I see what an amazing opportunity I have been given; to care for the sick.
For those of you who have been ill or have lost love ones, know that the mercy of Christ will be with you always. He did not die on the Cross just because, but he died on the Cross out of LOVE.
