I shudder to think about the RN I’d be today if I hadn’t left my RN job at the hospital in 1982. At that time I was working overtime to pay the mortgage on my 1,200 square foot condominium and knew I was way too mouthy and opinionated to last another 35 years in a draconian institutional setting.
I lived in America. I was free. But I would never truly know freedom until I rose up to it and lived my dream of starting my legal nurse consulting business.
Having traveled to parts of the world where freedom is not a word in the dictionary, I never take the privilege of freedom lightly. Freedom is not just a concept or mental state, it’s a responsibility that falls to each of us to rise up to. Only when we do so are we truly free.
One thought on “Thoughts for Success: Rise Up to Freedom”
Vickie,
You are so right, again. I wish I could bottle your wisdom and keep it with me! We are a female dominated profession, and women are more likely to doubt their ability to be successful in business and life. It is a mentality we must change. I am struggling with this very problem. Each day I have to choose positive thoughts. I have to retrain myself to think of success. “We are nurses and we can do anything!®”
