I made it to my friend Jessie\u2019s Christmas party<\/a> minutes before midnight\u2026 just as everyone was leaving her house. Just my luck. Too late.<\/em> I\u2019d spent my entire night stuck at the hospital where I worked as a nurse. All thanks to a little voice inside me. \u201cTake Candy\u2019s shift,\u201d it had said. Over and over again.<\/p>\n

Candy was a new nurse<\/a> on staff, a single mom. She\u2019d asked me to cover for her on Christmas Eve so she could spend the time with her little girl. I felt bad for Candy, I really did. But every Christmas Eve, I went to Jessie\u2019s house. Her party was the highlight of my holiday season. There was a gift exchange, carols and sugar cookies<\/a> as far as the eye could see. I told Candy I couldn\u2019t help her out. Afterwards, though, that little voice nagged me until I gave in.<\/p>\n

I figured God had some special reason for me to be at the hospital that evening. As it turned out, he didn\u2019t. It was the worst night ever. Two Code Blues, no free ICU beds and disgruntled patients. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of stopping by Jessie\u2019s after my shift. I\u2019d never stayed at her parties past 10 o\u2019clock, but maybe there\u2019d be some sugar cookies and a few carols left to sing by the time I got there.<\/p>\n

Instead, people were getting back into their cars. Why did I even bother coming this late?<\/em><\/p>\n

Suddenly, a scream pierced the night. \u201cHelp!\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked up. Jessie\u2019s elderly next-door neighbor was standing on his porch, waving his arms. \u201cHelp!\u201d he yelled. \u201cMy wife\u2019s dying! I need a doctor!\u201d <\/p>\n

I rushed to him<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m a nurse,\u201d I said. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n

He led me inside. His wife was lying unresponsive on their living room floor, cold and clammy to the touch. I recognized the problem at once. Insulin shock.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has this medicine, but I have no clue how to use it,\u201d her husband said, holding up an injection.<\/p>\n

I crouched down beside the woman and administered the medicine. Within minutes, her color returned, and her skin became warm and dry. The ambulance arrived just after the clock struck twelve. Christmas morning.<\/p>\n

I finally made it over to Jessie\u2019s and explained what happened. \u201cGood thing you were here so late<\/a>!\u201d she said. \u201cHere, you deserve a cookie.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
