THE HOSPITAL
Jean H. Osborne
There is warmth of kindness here
For those whose heavy hearts are
Full of pain—-who seek again
Their own familiar selves.
It is a place of truth.
The bright lights burn far into the night
To save some shattered soul.
I, too, shall be a part of this
Before long.
Did you share the same sentiment as Ms. Osborne when embarking on your nursing career?
