Today the memory of one of my old nurses popped in my head, out of the blue. Her name is Karen and we met when I was very young-probably around the age of 4 or 5. I remember her vividly; she was pretty and had brown curly hair and was so kind and friendly. 

I remember her finding toys for me to play with everytime I visited the doctor's office. She was always genuinely concerned about how I was doing and how my family was as well. In fact, her and my mom developed such a bond that our families began to get together on the weekends.

Eventually Karen became pregnant, and to her suprise, with triplets. Needless to say, that was a huge undertaking and Karen left her job as a nurse to take on her new roll as a full time mom to three babies. Our families stayed in touch for several years, but like many things in life that friendship faded over time as everyone got wrapped up in their own responsibilities.

I never forgot Karen. She was the best nurse I've ever had, and it brings a smile to my face when I think of her. I can only imagine that there is someone out there feeling the same way about those of you RNs who are reading this. Karen did so much more than just care for me as a nurse-she forever impacted my life.
