          Having someone who understands is a great blessing for ourselves.  Being someone who understands is a great blessing to others...  Janette Oke

           

          A Nurse's Prayer of Compassion

          Lord help me

          To bring Comfort where there is pain

          Courage where there is fear

          Hope where there is despair

          Acceptance when the end is near

          A touch gentle with

          Tenderness, Patience

          and Love

          Give to My Eyes

          Give to my eyes light to see those in need.

          Give to my heart compassion and understanding.

          Give to my mind knowledge and wisdom.

          Give to my hands skill and tenderness.

          Give to my ears the ability to listen.

          Give to me Lord strength for selfless service and
          enable me to bring joy to the lives of those I serve.
