Daybook January 07

The true fulfillment in nursing education comes from helping both novice and veteran nurses grow. Mentoring provides daily motivation to educators, knowing their impact on patient care.

As a nurse educator, I was initially uncertain if I would find the same fulfillment in teaching as I did at the bedside.

However, seeing both novice and veteran nurses grasp new concepts and excel in their work is incredibly rewarding.

It’s not just about the work they do now—it’s about knowing they will soon provide excellent care to patients, making a difference in their lives.

This continuous growth and impact motivate me every day.
