I finished my continuing education in the best of all spirits. 30 hours of CE crammed into a much smaller window of time. But I am now officially re-licensed to practice the fine art of cleaning up body fluids (including the "not so much fluid" fluids), poking people with sharp things, making sure they move when they should, and lie still when they should. I can officially give medication, change wound dressings, educate, and suction various orifices.
I think the most important thing I can officially do, even as a stay at home mommy who will likely not see much nursing action in the next couple of years is to "mourn with those who mourn, and comfort those who stand in need of comfort".
What an interesting dichotomy my profession is.
