Congratulations, Lisa and many blessings for a long and rewarding career in a very noble and virtuous profession. I have so much admiration for you and others who pursue this path... I can count only nine times in my life (so far)that I've had to be in a hospital as a patient - quite a few more as a mother and wife - once with a friend hours before she was pulled from life support. IN EVERY INSTANCE, I VIVIDLY REMEMBER THE CARE AND SUPPORT OFFERED BY THE NURSES often to the exclusion of other staff. As a nurse, you will be called upon to exhibit so many of the fruits of the Holy Spirit every day - love, joy, peace, patience, kndness, goodness, gentleness, generosity, faithfulness, self-control. The two remaining gifts - modesty and chastity - are treasures that God will ask you to protect for other people as you encounter them at their most vulnerable moments.
An opportunity for sainthood? absolutely!! A virtue is a habit of doing what is good not because you expect earthly recognition or reward, but because you desire to build up God's Kingdom on Earth. So my prayer for you is that you can approach your "career" as a vocation and your "profession" as ministry. May God give you the grace to be a humble and hopeful servant; to work as an instrument of healing care and compassion; and to know that everyday you help to bring about the Kingdom through your selflessness.
I am blessed to be your sister.
