It is one of the Fine Arts; I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In today\u2019s world, many people do not respect nurses and the work that they do.\u00a0 There are many types of nurses in different fields.\u00a0 I personally have had the privilege of working as a nurse in medical-surgical units, labor and delivery, legal nursing,\u00a0 home care, case management, workman\u2019s comp, and field nursing.\u00a0 The experiences that I gained in working in all of these different areas of\u00a0 nursing make me who I am today.<\/p>\n<p>Through out the past month, these same nurses that did not receive any gratitude have now started to receive recognition, some negative and some positive.\u00a0 Nursing as we know it has changed many lives.\u00a0 We have had to adapt to the way that we reach out to our patients for their protection and ours through telehealth nursing.\u00a0 For many patients, this has been a great thing because they can still talk with their nurse and their doctor.\u00a0 I see clients in their home and doctor\u2019s offices, but during the COVID-19 shelter in, I have had to reach out by telehealth to my clients in order to continue to provide the services that they need.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have been so scared that they are losing sleep and feeling stress due to not working and how are they going to pay their bills.\u00a0 Then there are the nurses that work frontline in the hospitals and doctor\u2019s offices and the nurses that now have to see patients through telehealth measures.\u00a0 One would think that those of us that have jobs still amidst this pandemic would be grateful and kind, but instead, for some people, it is causing stress and anxiety as a result of undisclosed fear.<\/p>\n<p>Fear\u2019s acronym that has been shared is false evidence appearing real.\u00a0 In this case, though it is fear of the unknown.\u00a0 Will there be work, will I get infected? Will my family be okay?\u00a0 These are all questions that go through people\u2019s minds.\u00a0 What can we do as nurses?\u00a0 Pray and ask God for that peace to be the light in the midst of darkness.\u00a0 Second, understand that we can\u2019t change the world and those that are in it; but we can change the way we look at it and how we handle circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>A friend paid me the greatest compliment the other day, he said \u201cRosie Moore you followed The Great Physician! Bringing healing and hope to those in despair.\u00a0 keep up the good work.\u00a0 There is a crown waiting for you!\u201d\u00a0 So today know that every type of nurse is important whether in the frontline or via telehealth.\u00a0 When COVID-19 is over, never forget what our country went through and the work that nurses and other healthcare workers did.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Rosie&#8217;s Nurse Corner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the words of Florence Nightingale: \u201cNursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires as exclusive a devotion, as hard a preparation as any painter\u2019s or sculptor\u2019s work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[211],"class_list":["post-1775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-10-top-valentines-ideas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1775\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/justrosiemoore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
