'Tis the graduation season

To all of you graduates out there, congratulations! Your four (or more) years are done. You have achieved your goal, or you are on your way to a couple of more graduations, with even more costumes and pomp and circumstance.

There are plenty of graduation speakers this year, but, I've always appreciated this sentiment (even though I'm not a Republican).



Remember, C=RN too, in many schools, so be brave and don't give up. There will always be critics. Do your best every day. You and your patients deserve the best.

I found it a grand coincidence that both my commencement speakers were baseball players. One was a chatty guy who said, "Never take a no from someone who can give you a yes." I lived by that one. It changed my life. The other had a whole collection of maxims from years in baseball.

As they say, when you come to a fork in the road, take it. You never know where it may lead.

More to come...
