  7. The Gift (00:05:06)

    I, like others in medical education, had the misconception that wellness could solely be achieved by separating work from “real life.” I thought I needed to find wellness and restoration outside of medicine to be able to then empty myself again and again into this career.

  16. The Cat (00:04:58)

    There is an unspoken understanding that nursing is both an art and a science. Often, you will be called to use your critical-thinking skills and training to help save lives.

And some days, it means breaking the rules to allow a cat in the ICU.

  17. Apartment 5 on Dolphin Drive (00:07:26)

    Something special happens when you work in the field. It speaks to you. It calls on the bounty of your generosity.

Medical student Noor Ahmed reflects on the special year-long connection forged with a patient during her time in the field as a health outreach worker.

  20. A Quiet Place (00:06:30)

    Whenever I pass that room, though, I will think of it as G.’s. A sacred sanctuary—where medicine, care plans, and labels like “incontinent” and “terminal” fall away and where priority is placed instead upon two human beings connecting at two different junctures of life, united in this powerful moment of G.’s creation and a shared love of chocolate. G.’s space. His quiet place. Final-year nursing student Erin Bowdish reflects on the connection forged with a patient on comfort care during mealtime.
