Abstract:Through the lens of a nursing student at the very end of his schooling, this article depicts the lengths to which his nursing preceptor will go to care for her patient. The lesson learned serves as a reminder that, while nurses may care for many patients in the course of their careers, each patient brings new knowledge and motivation to care for the next one.
