(K)im-possibly Wonderful

HantyV and Ebols for eight and a half minutes. Then an ode to Kim. I didn't ask Kim's permission, and we'll see if I need to ask forgiveness. The poem is below. Through critical care's demanding pace You met each challenge with strength and grace In military services, steadfast and true, Countless lives were better because of you. From hospital halls to skies above, Flight nursing carried your skill and love. Moving swiftly, thinking fast, a trusted leader unsurpassed. Your knowledge ran deep, your heart ran wide, Always there standing by our side. With wisdom shared and helping hands, You made us stronger than we planned. Your laughter echoed down the halls. Brightening days and lifting us all. Contagious joy, a welcome sound, A gift whenever you were found. Kind and talented, steady and wise, A familiar comfort through stressful times. You cared for patients, but just as true, You always cared for your team too. And who could forget those treats you'd bring. The baked delights that made hearts sing! A sweet reminder, time and time again, Of the thoughtful person you've always been. Today we celebrate all you've done, The many battles you've helped us win. Though retirement's chapter has now begun, The impact you've made will never dim. We'll miss your kindness, your laugh, your care, Your calming presence was always there. Kim, thank you for the lives you've touched, For giving so much and meaning so much. May your days ahead be filled with joy, New adventures, peace and rest. You leave behind a lasting legacy- And memories we'll always cherish best.

I am going off format a bit for this episode. I took my microphone with me to an education session. Have a listen as Kinnon, the CNE for the Acute Care Addictions Recovery Program, teaches us all a bit about Opioids. Check out this link for my childhood drug education.

As always, unit education and updates are first. After that we are off to IKEA for my interview with Ellen, former CNE on our unit and recipient of the King Charles III Coronation Medal. It gets a little wild.
