June 2011 Newsletter
An Update from Suzie - May/June 2011
Dear friends and family,
One Love Nursing Ministries has had an exciting past few months, and our summer is going strong as well. We are so thankful God has blessed us with many great connections with the nurses in our community. It is evident that He is drawing the hearts of many closer to Him through our ministry’s efforts.
Join One Love in England for Nurses Week 2012
Save the date, One Love Nursing Ministries is planning a Nurses Heritage Trip to England during Nurses Week 2012 (May 6-12)! We are heading across the Atlantic to the motherland of our nursing heritage where we will have many interesting excursions on our itinerary. As it stands now we will visit a school of nursing at Oxford University, health care institutions, Florence Nightingale’s Museum, not to mention some of England’s traditional landmarks. A main objective for the trip is to have the opportunity to extend our goodwill to English nurses while learning from their experiences within a socialized health care system. An added bonus is that Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee (her 60th anniversary as monarch) will be during that June, so England is bond to be a buzz with celebratory activity during our visit.
Our Nurses Summer Book Club is Underway
A group of One Love nurses is meeting bi-weekly on Sunday afternoons for a few weeks during this summer. We are casually reviewing the best seller Heaven is for Real. The book is written by Todd Burpo a pastor and a father of a preschool boy who has an out-of-body experience andvisits heaven during an operation.
The book is a great quick read, so pick up your copy today, and join us. Our next two meetings will be on Sunday June 26 and July 10 from 4- 6 pm at Starbucks at the corner of Pine Forest and 9 Mile Road in Pensacola.

Emma's Story
I recently had a telephone conversation with Emma, my youngest daughter, an aspiring nurse. She is working her way through college as a nursing assistant on a medical surgical floor. It was later in the evening, and she had a long day at work and one of those emotionally draining patient encounters that those of us who attend patients at the bedside know well. It was with a female patient whom she had especially grown fond of during a long arduous stay in the hospital. The illness had taken its toll; the tough decisions had been made to make her a “No Code”. The patient was now peacefully at the end of her life.
