Remorse

I miss being a clinical nurse.

I miss the smell of isopropyl alcohol and Dettol every day.

I miss the sight of blood gushing out of a person's body

I miss the syringes, the vials and the ampules

I miss being puked on, peed on, pooped on by patients.

I miss being attacked by psychotic patients.

I miss the doctors' ravings.

I miss the PCM, PRN, OD, UTZ of KUB acronyms.

I miss injecting patients and tell them it won't hurt but it really does.

9 more months to go, Paul. You'll get your dream soon.
