Nursing is not so different; traditional practices become entrenched and resistant to change—these are commonly referred to as “sacred cows” (Hanrahan, Wagner, Matthews, Stewart, Dawson, Greiner, &… Williamson, 2015, p. 3).

“Who attacked you?” Vala inquired. “And how large was their force?” Arminius shook his head. “I’m not sure, General Vala, but from their shields and dress, they appeared to be foreign tribesmen from the north and west of the Cherusci.” “So, you’re saying this attack is not some blood-feud between you and Segestes,” Varus said, “and that there’s a rebel force nearby.” “It would appear that way, Governor,” Arminius replied, dutifully.

My bed called for me. The long night along with the impromptu breakfast had me yearning for sleep. I took a long drink from a bottle of water and laid back on my rumpled blankets.

Every night my failure to keep Chris alive replayed over and over in my dreams. It made me dread getting any kind of rest.…
