For Every LPN Who’s Still Standing

To the one reading this between shifts. To the one who’s been told, “You’re just an LPN.” To the one who wipes tears in silence, then goes back to helping someone else heal. This is for you.

You walk hallways filled with pain, yet you carry peace. You hold the hands of strangers who become stories you never forget. You push through fatigue that most people will never understand. You show up every single day — even when you feel unseen, undervalued, or utterly drained.

There are nights you drive home in silence. Nights where you wonder if the sacrifices are worth it. You’ve missed birthdays, meals, and moments with people you love. You’ve held it together for everyone else — but who holds you?

You’ve been through storms that tried to break you, but somehow, you always find a way to rebuild. That’s not luck. That’s grace. That’s purpose. That’s divine assignment in motion.

See, you were never “just” anything. You are the calm in chaos. The steady heartbeat when fear fills the room. You are a vessel of healing — not only for others but for yourself, too. Every challenge you’ve faced wasn’t punishment. It was preparation. You’re becoming unshakable. You’re learning to love yourself through every lesson, and that’s what true strength looks like.

If no one has told you lately — you are seen. You are valued. You are necessary. The world moves forward because people like you keep choosing to care when you could’ve chosen comfort. That’s leadership. That’s legacy.

And when you put on your uniform, I hope you feel it — not as clothing, but as armor. Armor that reminds you who you are. A symbol of every tear you’ve wiped, every prayer you’ve whispered, every battle you’ve survived. You are walking proof that preparation breeds greatness.

So hold your head high, nurse. You are not behind. You are not forgotten. You are becoming exactly who you were created to be. The world may not always understand your sacrifice, but heaven does. And one day, every ounce of pain will make sense — because it’s building the kind of purpose that can never be taken from you.

Keep your faith. Keep your fire. Keep preparing — because your next chapter will be the one that reminds you why you never gave up.

Prepared. Purposeful. Premium. Relational. Charged Grace.
