ER nurses, read this!

Good to read this one again. Yes, we are all warped for life. How did I choose this? I have been doing it since 1975 so it must be the place.

very very touching. (",)

Thank you sooooo much! I had a rotten weekend and then had to deal with getting yelled at by some a** this am! I was doubting if I could keep on with this, but after reading this, I can!
Thanks---I need to go print this and put it in my happy file at work!

Wow!! Thank you!!

This is wonderful - thanks for sharing!

I'm going to print a few copies for the lounge.

4 am in the morning here...........found this posting on a short break......THANK YOU SO MUCH for reminding me why I am an ER nurse............posted this on our nurses station whiteboard and everyone loves it!!!!!!!!

When Im in the middle of the craziest shifts ever, I wonder why I chose to work in the ER. But after reading this I realize I have got to witness some amazing things both good and bad and wouldnt trade them for the world. I have also got to work in the "trenches" with some amazing people and have bonded with many. Thanks for a great article and reminding all nurses and non-nurses what a great and enormous job we are doing and reminding "lay" people what a toll this profession can take on us personally.

I think he was writing about what specialty he worked in, dont take it personal. Just because he didnt specify other nurse specialties does not mean he thinks less or doesnt personally acknowledge all nurses,

Thank you so much for this article. I love what I do and when someone recognizes it, it makes me very proud of what I do.
