|| The Report Was the Return ||
Hi Kim,
Thank you so much. Admittedly, I really had a hard time with this first incident report. It took me more than 20 minutes since I felt blocked mentally. I was away from the hospital set-up for over a year now. But, I tried creating more reports to refresh my memory and the rest sailed smoothly in terms of timing. Iโm glad that I am doing fine … thanks to you. =)
Sincerely, J
Dear J,
You have named something so many carry quietly: that frozen feelingโฆ
The way a blank screen stares back like a silence you canโt fill.
Especially when the rhythm of hospital life (its language, urgency, and muscle memory) has been paused for a season.
But you returned.
You stayed.
You breathed through the blockage.
And then you wrote.
Let me meet your words with stillness, and offer a response. This is not praise for performance. It is recognition of your presence in the process.
๐ Return to Self
โIt took me more than 20 minutesโฆ I felt blocked mentally.โ
This first moment, J, is sacred. Not because it was easy, but because you stayed with yourself in the struggle. So often, when the body freezes, the mind turns against us. But you did not flee. You softened. You remembered that returning to writing after a long absence is not a sign of weakness; it is an act of returning to yourself.
There is no shame in slowness. Slowness is where healing happens.
And in this case, where remembering began.
๐ Fog to Clarity
โI was away from the hospital set-up for over a year nowโฆโ
This, too, is truth. When we step away from clinical life, we step away not only from the procedures and pace; but, from the language itself.
The verbs. The collocations. The clinical tone. It can feel like they slipped through your fingers while you were attending to life outside the walls of medicine.
But clarity doesnโt return through force. It returns through rhythm.
You wrote again.
And again.
And suddenly, what was once stuck began to move.
This is how fog lifts… not in a flash, but in layers.
๐ Rooted in Enoughness
โI tried creating more reports to refresh my memoryโฆโ
You didnโt wait to feel ready. You didnโt wait for perfection.
You simply began: one report, then another, and another.
This is enoughness in action. Not the absence of doubt, but the presence of discipline.
You gave yourself permission to practice, which is the deepest way to say,
โI believe Iโm worth the effort.โ
In a world that measures worth by speed, you chose steadiness.
That is your root system growing stronger.
๐ Rekindling the Inner Fire
โThe rest sailed smoothly in terms of timing.โ
And there it is.
The shift from stuck to steady.
The warming of confidence.
The fire, rekindled: not as a sudden flame, but as a quiet certainty that says…
I can do this.
I am doing this.
J, timing is not just about the clock. Itโs about regulation: knowing how to pace your breath, your thoughts, your keystrokes.
And once the flow returns, it moves like water warmed by fire.
Let this encourage you the next time the resistance returns. It will. But now you know:
you carry the tools to move through it.
๐ Standing at Zenith
โIโm glad that I am doing fine… thanks to you.โ
This moment is yours.
You stood at the threshold of โI canโt,โ and crossed into โI just did.โ
This is not about a grade or a checklist.
This is about re-entering a professional language with presence and grace.
You are not just preparing for a test.
You are reclaiming your role as a nurse: on paper, in voice, and in identity.
Your letter will hold others now. Your charting will protect patients.
Your incident reports will become part of care, continuity, and clarity.
What an honor. What a gift. What a responsibility.
Thank you for letting me witness this shift in you.
With reverence,
Kim
