During the Anzac ceremony it began to rain so my son and I gave our umbrellas to the students representing their primary school.
During my late work lunch break (in the staff room), sat only myself & a young 3rd year Student Nurse, R.N (previous A.I.N). As I sat, I began a friendly & casual conversation, to offer encouragement, reassurance & validation.
She freely opened up & as I sat, I ‘Listened’ as she spoke, (comfortably & without feeling judged), about her frustrations, concerns, & general venting,
We shared common experiences, laughed,
& and Afterwards, she thanked me, for ‘Listening’ and stated she felt better.
It was sad to hear some of her genuine concerns but afterwards we both felt better! I was happy to have been there, to offer support, reassurance, and also just a kind ‘ear’ to ‘Vent’. They all need MORE supportive guidance, individual understanding & encouragement, from fellow nurses! 👩🏼🔧💙
Had just sanitised my shopping trolley when an elderly man, who I’d seen struggling to walk outside, walked up. I smiled and said, “just in time it’s ready for you. ” and gave him the trolley
Added $50 to a young mums electricity account.
Also sent a parcel of crafty things to a lady on an isolated island in Alaska
