Last Salon note for May May 30, 2009
Posted by mariemanthey in Uncategorized.trackback
On May 21, we had the regular one at my house (3 Salons for me in 10 days!…what a treat)…and I am inviting attendees to post a note…..I’ve done enough posting today….ciao!
We had the honour of a visit from Marie to England on International Nurses Day (May 12th) Marie held a salon and we invited nurses and midwives with a broad range of experience – from Student Nurse to Nurse Director. It was a privedge to have Marie host this and we will be now spreading the word about Salons.
Comments from nurses about Marie’s visit included how she inspired us to think about the simple, yet most important things in nursing. We talked about the basic principles of nursing and yet how skilled we are at delivering such things as touch, being there, being with, a simple smile and communicating. I found it touched my heart to listen to nurses who I come into contact with every day talking about the things which inspired and motivated them to enter the nursing profession and to continue to do so. We re-discovered that nursing is a priveledge and we are proud to be a part of it. Thank you Marie and I look forward to seeing you again very soon
