Honoring my mother, Marie Rose, for being a Service Excellence Hero at Hackensack University Medical Center Celebration night. #HUMC #HackensackUnviversity #NursesAide #CelebrateLife (at The Venetian Catering)

Every once in awhile I experience very humbling things at my job. On a daily basis I interact with people during some of their most vulnerable times. This particular time, one patient was so thankful of me that she started to cry. I think it’s really rare to see a genuine thank you, but when you do that’s all you need/want from the person.

I've come to realize how much I really do love my job. I may not always like the people I work with, and I may not always have the best day at work, but I really love my job. This summer I have had many ups and downs. But as weird as it may sound, my residents have always been there. They may hit me, say inappropriate things to me, or give me an attitude, but I also get a lot of "thank you" and "i appreciate everything you do." My residents are the ones that give me that unconditional love, always there to make me laugh, smile, and sometimes even put tears of joy in my eyes. I get called beautiful, and pretty, many times I am told how I am a great person, and how nice and patient I am. My residents are the ones that remind me how I will find someone in the future who will appreciate everything I do, and remind me to keep my head up because things will get better. If this summer has taught me anything, it's how much I really do love my job and my residents.
