6. 6-word descriptions of nursing careers

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in six words. He responded with “For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”

Today, there are six-word stories about love affairs, lifetimes, tragedies: Name it and there’s a short, to-the-point description of it.

The fine folks here at Scrubs challenged me to come up with a title for my nursing memoir. I figured we could all do one better with six-word descriptions of our nursing careers. I’ll get us started:

  • Never be first to a code.
  • Started out in music; no talent.
  • Year one: proud. Year 10: prouder.
  • Never gets easier to lose one.
