Hurrying Hard with Joanne

Hurrying Hard with Joanne

There are a few minutes of updates and news. If you are only here for Joanne, that starts around minute 6. But check out the beginning, because what if you learn a little something about critical care nursing? If you work on another unit, follow your unit guidelines. This isn't medical advice; don't be daft.

The appetizer includes some unit education and updates. The main course is listening to Lindsay and I chat over cheeseburgers. Desiderata (the poem) is worth checking out. Here is a quote. "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons." I think you will also really like this quote from the poem Belonging by Treesisters. Here is a snippet. "I belong to the darkening skies, to the soft fallen leaves and the quiet surprise..."

(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. If you work on another unit, follow your unit guidelines. This isn't medical advice; don't be daft. 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.
