The fourth line of the US Army Nurse Corps creed reads,
“I protect the dignity of every
individual put in my charge”.
I am
not in a command position, but am a member of a team. And as such, I believe it is my responsibility to protect my teammates at all costs.
Something
that has consumed the last five months of my life is now over. These five months were
stressful, emotional, and hurtful at times to the point of tears. I can confess
that there were times I wanted to tap out. Times I wanted to protect my own
heart as it still has moments of fragility.
Whether
intentional or unintentional, to anyone that inflicts stress, pain, or harm to
someone or something I care about, know this -
I
will protect my team. I will fight for what I believe to be right and to be moral.
I will not allow things to be swept under the rug and be ignored. I WILL
protect the dignity of every individual put in my charge.
