Nurses can and do make a difference in people's lives. You don't have to be a saint. You just have to care.

Thanks jnette!

Jnette, What a wonderful thing you did for that gentleman. Your caring and compassion has shown through. That is what it means to be a Nurse, I think. Your story brought tears to my eyes. You made that man extremely happy, and gave him more time to adjust to his condition. Kudos to you

Your story touched my heart, Jnette. Thank you so much for sharing and bringing back my focus (so poignantly) of what nursing is truly about.
