About Me

My name is Cory. I am a mom, a wife, a NaNa, and a critical care nurse that lives in Nashville, TN. I have found my calling in ER/Trauma/ICU. Each day I find myself experiencing life changing events and hope that by reading my posts, you will experience and feel some of what I do. If you read nothing else, please take time to read "The Hardest Question Ever Asked". It's my very first posting. And if for some reason you think you see your story here.....you don't. It's not about you or anyone you know. =)

All Female Nurses Are Perverts Commenters:

To those of you who choose to comment on my blogs, especially the one about All Female Nurses Are Perverts and Unprofessional (from August) I challenge you to leave your name rather than to continue to appear so highly uneducated as to lump all of the thousands of nurses into one category because of the nurses that gave you poor nursing care. Or worse, to show how uneducated you really are like the second commenter by not even being able to compose a gramatically correct sentence. Leaving anonymous messages shows an ignoble lack of courage.
But, thanks for taking the time to read my blog anyway. Have a great day!

Losing a Friend (K - you will be missed terribly)

I hope she remembered
All the people who said they cared
And knew that we really did

I hope she remembered
How happy we all were when we were together
When we were laughing until the tears ran down our faces

I hope she remembered
Our arms around one another
And saying we loved her

I hope she remembered
The pain she saw in our eyes when she left
Because we hoped she would return

I hope she won't remember
The feeling of being so alone,
The feeling that no one cared
The feeling that she couldn't call on us
The feeling that life wasn't worth living
The feeling that her children didn't need her
The feeling that her friends didn't need her

I hope she knows
That we will remember her
That we will love her regardless
That we don't stand in judgement
That we shared in her pain
Just as she did it and
we have a daily reminder of it

Many of us lost a wonderful friend a few days ago and will never forget the loss. She was an amazing woman with two beautiful children and a husband who is a physician so on the outside appeared to have the "perfect life". She just had more pain than she could deal with. There aren't enough words to describe her beauty, her humor or her love for people. What she did was selfish yes, but that won't make us love her any less. She injected herself with a lethal dose of drugs and then cut her wrist.

I feel good about where I am at in my life today. I am blessed in so many ways. As always, thanks for listening.
