Whoa - choking up here.

Reminds me of Claudia, tall, cool and professional to the point of a literal perfect nurse.

I wanted to be just like her.

I made a bed my first quarter and did it right. We were all laughing and I said, "another success in medicine" and she pulled herself all the way up and said "another success in NURSING!"

She also told me that nurses are not "trained", they are "educated". I've never forgotten it and will rarely, if ever, say the word "train" and "nurse in the same sentence.

Great story!

Thanks for the comment Kim! I agree with your sentiment about educating versus training. We can train monkeys but we educate people!
