A senior citizen nurse.."The Night Shift"

[Judy Hamilton]

walk with me for a glimpse of my night at work in the ICU.
My shift begins each evening in the chapel. as you will note in
the photos..i am on my knees even when at my patient's bedside

[Judy Hamilton]

for a breather i get to run a specimen to the lab...then take a quick run to third floor and fourth floor to say hello to some of my friends and return back to ICU to these two nurses. Victor and Bruno (i keep wanting to call this young man Bono...U 2 would be fortunate to have this precious Christian on their team!) You will see a photo of a nurse from Korea, (long dark hair) a nurse from Nigeria and a nurse from Brazil. We are a multi talented team in this hospital..drawing from everyones expertise and cultural values.

I give shift change report of my patient to Jen and head wearliy to the house! I am grateful to be working in a place where people are important and caring not only for our patients and their families but also the nurses, resp therapist, and lab and xray technicians is evident. I am challenged daily (nightly) with learning new procedures and working with state-of the -art equipment..and expanding (stretching) my comfort zones.

Grateful to be working..i pass this lovely village photo
each day on my way out the door. Look up into a lovely sunrise
with the promise of some rain!! Much needed rain to fall
on the dry Oklahoma fields

"It's beginning to rain! Hear the voice of the Father!"

'cuse my impromptue song!

Thank you for joining me on the night shift

Hey Judy! Thanks for the tour! I wish I had thought to bring my camera to the hospital on the night shift a couple of weeks ago. Our halls were lined with beautiful quilts that had been donated for charity......It was a beautiful sight!!
