a throwback

I just wanted to share one of the greatest compliments I've received as a nurse. On friday when I was bathing my patient he asked me if my mother was from the old school. I kind of looked at him and replied "well my mother wasn't a nurse if that's what you mean".

"No no," he says, "It seems that she did right by you."

I looked at him a bit confused but told him that I was fortunate enough to come from a really great family. Had a really wonderful upbringing from good hardworking parents. "I know," he says to me, "it shows in the way you take care of your patients. You're old school."

Very cool. I should tell my parents that the next time I talk to them.
