Bear With Me - Kerisha Francois-Kastner

I came across this wonderful poem and I thought to share.

I dedicate this to all Nursing Students wherever you are!

BEAR WITH ME


Bear with me, I’m a student, I do not know it all.
So please guide and support me and help me when I fall.
I know that you are busy with a hundred different tasks
but I’m on my learning journey - my errors will not last.
I know the phones are ringing, the call bells are going too,
but please take some time just to show me what you want me to do.


Bear with me, I’m a student, I’m trying my very best.

I may make a few mistakes - to this I can confess.
Please do not be put off if my confidence is at times a wee bit low,
it’s just that I am anxious and you may even think me slow.


Bear with me, I’m a student - remember you once stood in my place?

So please do not be too quick to judge me if I don’t have a smile upon my face.
I’m scared and I am nervous about what you expect of me.
So let us work together and make this a successful learning journey.
