On my job

I am an nurse. A registered nurse. I have current licenses for the states of California and Arizona. The great thing about the one from Arizona, is that I can practice in a number of other states with this one; it's a compact-state license. But that's not what I want to say.
I have a job! I am working for a pediatric home health care agency, and I love it! When I first heard about this agency, I was so excited; it was like a dream come true. After a phone interview, filling out an on-line application, taking a number of tests for them, and a second in-person interview, I was hired. Well, I also had to pass a drug screening test and another class, but I was hired. I started working on New Years' Eve.
I work at the home of a medically fragile child. After a week, I'm coming to love not only this child but the family as well. I work from 10 PM until 6 AM, Monday through Friday, which is really through Saturday morning. Last night, when I got to the house, I was talking with the Mom, getting report, when she gave me 3 pictures that the older sister had colored for me. She'd then written, 'The best nurse ever" and "pretty" on each picture. I am honored to be in this home, to see the love that they all have for my little patient, and for this little girl to consider me the best nurse ever. This is why I love home health care, not only do I get to interact and care for the same little person every day, but I get to, hopefully, impact the family as well.
Thank you, Lord, for my job!
