Loving Kindness, Dawn Smith RN
Dawn Smith, RN chooses rock painting to demonstrate Loving Kindness among her fellow nurses at Baptist Medical Center Beach . 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.

I have always had an eye for beautiful things and I am able to convey that in my photography. My subjects are my coworkers and their families. I am surrounded by inspiration at Baptist South which is very helpful to me, not just as a photographer, but also as a nurse. Candy Camerden, RN Baptist South
