ABSTRACT
As a registered nurse, I love to share my stories with the nursing (police) students. In nursing (police) school, as you drown in a sea of medical (law) books, exams, and dosage calculation charts, you are never really taught what real-world nursing (policing) entails. You cannot acquire many of the skills that you use in nursing (policing) from a book. And it would be unfair to expect it to be otherwise. Nursing (Police) students are, rather, given the basic tools that they will need in the diverse and ever-changing career of nursing (policing). What they later grow and mold into will depend on what specialties they choose and what life experiences they gain from their patients and work environments. And so, when my nursing students come onto the oor with wide eyes and open hearts, eager to learn what being a nurse really means, I am all too eager to share my experiences, practices, and life lessons learned, as a mentor already nursing in this eld.
