The Single Mothers
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I was at the second floor nurses station while the nurses and I were swapping stories. We were talking about some of the more famous people that have been in our hospice. One of our older nurses shared one of her stories, not about a famous person, but of a special person in her past.
A beautiful nurse, thirty years ago, was a young LVN nurse technician with a transfusion company, in Beaumont, Texas. This was back when transfusions was a new medical treatment. She was a struggling single mother at the time. She was working a full time job and trying to raise her daughter by herself!
She had been with this company for awhile when she finally told them that she needed a pay raise! The local company people didn't respond to her requests to her frustration.
Finally, the CEO of the company, also a woman, came by for a visit. While touring the facility, our nurses described how hard it was to earn a living as a LVN nurse and being a single mother. The lady CEO was sympathetic to her situation. This lady CEO was also a single mother, and she understood!
She offered to pay her tuition and all other expenses to become a Registered Nurse if she would be willing to go back to school. Our nurse jumped at the chance and returned to school and became a Registered Nurse and received a sizable pay raise!
She stayed at that company for twenty years until she moved to Houston to be a hospice nurse. She was working here for awhile when she received a new patient. It was the CEO that had been so kind in helping her so many years ago!
This retired CEO was unresponsive when she arrived at our hospice and our nurse could not talk with her. But she received the best care with much love and compassion until she passed. Two single mothers helping each other at different stages in their lives!
Do you know of a struggling mother? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
