From RN To Zen: A Flame's Tale in Candle Entrepreneurship

Chapter 1: The First Spark: From Healing Hands to Crafting Light

As I step onto the hospital floor, the familiar rush of responsibility and anticipation greets me. Being a nurse is a walk on a path where each step is both a challenge and a profound opportunity to make a difference. The long hours and the unpredictability of each day bring their own set of trials. The weight of responsibility is tangible; after all, lives often hang in the delicate balance of our decisions and actions.

Yet, amidst these challenges, there's an undeniable sense of fulfillment. The gratitude in a patient's eyes, the relief in their families' faces, and the camaraderie among my colleagues, all make the demanding nature of nursing not just bearable, but deeply gratifying. Each day brings new stories, new faces, and new battles - a mosaic of human experiences that enrich my soul.

But in the quiet moments, when the chaos subsides, I find myself drawn to a different kind of solace - the gentle art of candle making. Here, in the serene dance of flame and wax, I discover a world that contrasts starkly with the bustling corridors of the hospital. It's in this tranquil space that I begin to explore a new aspect of myself, a creative side long overshadowed by the rigors of my nursing career.

This chapter of my life, this transition from the healing hands of nursing to the crafting light of candle making, marks the beginning of a new journey. It's a path I tread with both excitement and reverence, as I carry with me the lessons of compassion, patience, and resilience learned in the wards, into the delicate craft of candle creation.

This is a journey of how we became RN To Zen.
