At work on Fridays, myself and another nurse's examiner each choose a patient in a medical and surgical unit whom the nursing students will use to take their weekend examination.

Not every patient is suitable for the exam.  If a patient is too sick, his condition might change; if he is too well he might be discharged before the end of the weekend testing.

Because of the Word of Life, I started to take an attitude of justice.

“Justice will bring about peace; right will produce calm and security." (Is 32;17)

I decided to look for one patient for myself and to also make sure the other examiner would have one good patient to start the weekend.  Just by saying, " I found two good cases, do you need one to get started?" was enough to show my concern to my co-worker.  She was surprised.

I can see the work environment starting to change. We are working together instead of competing against each other for the most suitable patients for the tests.  My workplace is becoming like a family.
