Remembering Why We Began

Daybook February 02

In nursing education, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Remembering why we began—and caring for ourselves along the way—keeps our work meaningful and humane.

In nursing education, days fill quickly with tasks—lectures, evaluations, meetings, and endless responsibilities.
In the middle of this, what matters most is often the first thing we forget.

Laura Dzurec reminds us of something deceptively simple:
remember, every day, why you came to nursing education.

This is not a sentimental exercise.
It is a form of professional care.

When educators lose touch with their original purpose, teaching can quietly become mechanical.
We continue to perform our roles, but the work feels thinner, heavier, and more distant from the people we hoped to serve.

Taking time for oneself is not a luxury.
It is how purpose stays fresh—and how education remains alive.

One Line for Nurses & Learners:
Remembering is care for the educator.
