One of my favorite quotes:

Nursing is an art;
and if it is to be made an art,
it requires as exclusive a devotion,
as hard a preparation,
as any painter's or sculptor's work;

for what is the having to do with
dead canvas or cold marble,
compared with having to do with the
living body - the temple of God's spirit?

It is one of the Fine Arts;
I had almost said
the finest of the Fine Arts

- Florence Nightingale

That is a great quote from one of my Heros. Want more of FN? There is a great site which also has the only recording of her voice. www.countryjoe/nightingale/

I also like that Nightengale quote. I had it as my signature for awhile. Far superior to the nurse's pledge. Has a certain "I know I've been there" ring to it.
