Showing loving kindness is obviously a very desired quality for a nurse to have. We often use symbols as reminders for various things, so using affirmation statements and symbols is not a new concept. In this art intervention the nursing staff is asked to paint a tiny polished stone with acrylic paint . On the stone they were to use their favorite color and a personal symbol that made them smile and for a second experience love and kindness. Among the symbols in Dawn's group was a palm tree, family, faith symbol, sunshine, flower and a sparkling gem. After the stones dried, each nurse was encouraged to carry it in their pocket as a reminder of the power they have in creating a therapeutic environment using love and showing kindness. </span></div>

Positioned above is the framed art work of a patient admitted for treatment to the Heart Hospital at Baptist Medical Center in downtown Jacksonville. During his convalescence, nurse Jamie Chiles offered him an opportunity to participate in an art intervention at the bedside. This project was suggested to ease some of his anxiety regarding his cardiac status. Jamie gave him watercolor crayons and watercolor paper. The blending of colors using a wet technique proved to be very soothing to the patient and awakened a desire to create more art when discharged home. Jamie became the recipient of the art piece, she had it framed and it is now on display in the Caring Room on her floor for all to enjoy. Keep up the good work!Patty Magee, Artist Nursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02651951988515379643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413903400238313372.post-86763726456482618262012-01-09T16:00:00.000-08:002012-01-10T09:07:59.624-08:00Creativity in Full Bloom<div style="text-align: center;">

A goal for all three of us, along with the hospital administration has been to create a caring room for staff. My job was to do a painting that would help decompress, if for only a brief moment, the stress level of being an Intensive Care Nurse.The staff voted on a topic (seascape) and I painted a very large 4'x4' canvas which was hung yesterday in the Caring Room. I am so happy to be a part of this project and think so highly of this caring staff. I will get a photo of the room after its completed and post on this blog so you can tell me what you think. </span></span>Patty Magee, Artist Nursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02651951988515379643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413903400238313372.post-46815891659438764562011-07-20T09:56:00.000-07:002012-01-10T09:07:59.592-08:00See the Beauty in Everything<a style="CLEAR: right; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em" href="http://goo.gl/photos/TR2MhZLAoH" imageanchor="1"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC5zK9n8vTPQUhNzpYQ4VVKzdyo-ahZUJ2kxltnfCWlyTKGx3cg-AMGTBzztDARg_PqMfwuWNBg-NQSsD9uW8UNy9A5mb1dyrCCFnspMLswGSWwgvh6SA8xDL0gw7lIroQ7Fxz_sp9tEcb/s512/2011-06-21_16-09-06_756.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Artist Statement<br /><br />A recent experience in our unit was the inspiration for this painting. A patient we cared for suffered from a cancer which affected her outer beauty, leaving her grossly disfigured. The process of caring for her day after day, month after month as she deteriorated was a painful process. The night she passed I painted this and although I did not realize this at the time, I believe I was subconsciously processing this experience, perhaps grieving, perhaps paying respect to her and to the inner beauty which lies within all of us. <br />Katie Kiley Suggs R.N.Patty Magee, Artist Nursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02651951988515379643noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413903400238313372.post-60285613667943711232011-07-20T09:21:00.000-07:002012-01-10T09:07:59.604-08:00Healing Scar<p align="center"><a style="CLEAR: right; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em" href="http://goo.gl/photos/TYsedYwL1v" imageanchor="1"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6f4ldot97PZTM8l8xmBrHvREDePB0mXJb0l3ldRnJUxB157yUnVUDROa5S5NQoriuqMMH2T16n9ZybTAp26sw4Yw8e8D7Z3mJTxi6lJaFkq9zOfGRvv7yPjixsIvjy_RjaoE_LcwuNTkF/s512/2011-06-21_16-09-47_315.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><span style="color:#993399;">Artist Statement</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;">My journey of healing is represented in this painting, “Healing Scar”, as a mirror image.

All though the flowers are all different when together they make a colorful arrangement. The same can be said when we work together to provide excellent patient care. We all have the same goal, providing what is best for the patient and family.<br />The flowers were made with various medciation tops used here at the hospital.
