The Nurse's Prayer
Dear Jesus, model and inspiration of the nursing profession, I know that when you ascended into heaven, You left the care of the sick to those of us whom You have blessed with the Holy Vocation of nursing. Please help me to be faithful to that calling so that I can always do the things you want me to do and in the manner that you want me to do them.
Grant that my voice be gentle, that my hands may have the softness and sympathy of Your hands. That my presence may bring something for the hope and consolation, which Your presence brought to the sufferers of Your day.
I want to do all these things Lord, but I know that I am weak and can do little without Your aid. Please give that aid this day and everyday of my life so that I can always be what You want me to be, an angel of the sick room. Amen.

I, of course, a newcomer to this blog, but the author does not agree
I was looking for this... and realized that this was back in 2006; I was still four at that time. Now it's the year 2023, I'm in my 2nd year of college and in my early 20s pursuing nursing. At present, I always feel on edge knowing that when I finally become a working health professional, any error or mistake is unacceptable. I hope someday I can recognize this comment when I'm at a peak in my life and know that because of my faith and passion, I was able to overcome all the lows, doubts, and fears that was holding me back from showing my full potential. It won't be long enough till I can confidently say and prove to myself that I AM: a capable and competent nurse.
