✨ Nursing is truly a work of heart. ✨

We are so grateful for the heartfelt words shared by a recent participant in our "Reigniting the Spirit of Caring" workshop with Relationship- Based Care Consultant Kathleen Van Wagoner:

💭 "I just wanted to personally reach out and say thank you so much for an excellent experience with the Monday/Tuesday class of Reigniting the Spirit of Caring. I’ve been going through some changes both professionally and personally, and although I was hesitant to take this class, I feel very fulfilled and am so happy I did.
Soon I’ll be returning to bedside nursing, and the last two days confirmed that I made the right decision to do the things I went to school to do. Nursing really is a work of heart, and this workshop gave me the confidence to know I’m making a difference on somebody's worst day again. The timing of this class couldn’t have been more ideal for both my private and professional life. I am so thankful, and I know the tools we have learned about will follow me through all the changes I am currently facing.”

Stories like this remind us why this program continues to inspire nurses to reconnect with their purpose, passion, and calling. 💙
