What happens when a childhood dream of ballet transforms into a 25-year calling in nursing? In this heartfelt collection of stories and reflections, Christina Saunders, MSN, RN, opens her heart to share the pivotal moments that defined her career and her faith.
From the sterile halls of pediatric and hospice units to the challenging classrooms of a Christian school, Christina's journey is a powerful testament to resilience. She recounts the profound joy of guiding new life into the world and the sacred honor of providing comfort at the end of life. With unflinching honesty, she also details the pain of professional betrayal and the spiritual lessons learned from being "let go" by a Christian institution, exploring the complex realities of faith-based workplaces.
Woven throughout are personal milestones-marriage, motherhood, and the bittersweet transition into the "empty nest" phase-all viewed through the lens of God's unwavering grace. Short Stories is more than a memoir; it's an inspiring tapestry of a life lived in service to others, a celebration of the nursing profession, and a moving reminder that even when doors close, God is always opening a window to something new.
