It is very odd how many nursing stories have been passed from generation to generation. Everyone who lives around this planet have all known someone who was part of this great profession that really helps individuals. Americans are always happy to support this particular group of workers who do so much for the community even when they are tired.
One certain woman who lived in New York City worked as a full time attendant at a local hospital and did some extra work in private duty. She would rush through the busy streets of Manhattan everyday in order to be on time for work. Other individuals always saw her with a smile upon her face since this particular woman was quite happy.
Once she made her way out of this hospital she would rush towards the New York City subway station. Her destination would be to upstate New York where all of the rich and powerful people lived. There was always a handsome driver with a great big car to meet her at the upstate station. He would drive this lady to a very large house where an older lady resided.
The older lady was always happy to see her dear friend and caretaker each and every night. The two of them would always play a game of checkers after dinner was served and then they would do some knitting. After this was done the senior woman would become tired and this was the attendants cue to help her to bed.
The faithful caretaker would help this lady change clothes and climb into her nice big bed. Sometimes she would read to the older woman if there was enough time. Once this grand dame was asleep the younger lady would take her leave and head back to New York City.
She would always think of the fun times that she and the senior would have every time she made this house call. These memories would engulf her mind as she rode the very isolated train back into the still busy city. In a way she wished that these visits could go on forever but she knew that life was not that simple. Time was always ticking away and everyone and everything around was only getting older and older. All of these thoughts stayed with her until she arrived at home.
She was very excited when her duties at the hospital were over with the next day. It had been a very long and frustrating day that was filled with mean patients with very bad attitudes. The doctors on staff were acting in their usual controlling style and this made matters worse. After climbing into the nice limousine she put all of these thoughts out of her mind.
Unfortunately all nursing stories do not always end with laughter. When this attendant had arrived at the house she learned that this dear older woman had died in her sleep. Apparently it had been a fatal heart attack but the senior went very peacefully. A few weeks later the attendant learned that this woman had left her everything that she owned.
