Marie had always dreamed of becoming a nurse since she was young. Her mother was a nurse herself, and she always told her stories about how fulfilling it was to help people every day. Now, at 27 years old, she had achieved her dream, and had been working as a nurse in the same hospital for three years.

One day, while on her rounds, she noticed an elderly woman lying alone in her bed. The woman was very thin, and her skin was pale and dry. She seemed to be very weak, and her eyes were closed. Marie approached her softly, checking her vital signs, and speaking to her calmly. She learned that the woman’s name was Mary, and that she had been in a car accident that put her in a coma for several weeks.

Marie knew that Mary needed more than just medical attention, she needed emotional support. So, she began visiting her every day during her shift. She would read to her, talk to her, and even play her favorite music. It was a routine that lasted for several weeks, and she slowly noticed a difference in Mary’s condition.

Eventually, Mary woke up from her coma, and was able to go home. She was so grateful for Marie’s care and attention that she wrote a letter to the hospital administration commending her for her compassion and dedication. Marie’s story spread throughout the hospital, and soon enough, she became known as “The Compassionate Nurse.”

More patients began to feel comfortable with her around, and she continued to provide them with the same level of care and support that she had given to Mary. Marie was happy and content knowing that she had made a difference in someone’s life, and that her dream of helping others had become a reality.
