Feb 08, 2008 12:10 AM - its 1:08 am, just got off work from a 16 hour shift, and am sitting here crying in my cerial. That was a beautiful way to articulte so many common feelings among nurses. That really touched me. Thank you.

Feb 08, 2008 04:07 PM - That was a great story and so true. I don't think I could emotionally handle where you work. I work with Cardiovascular patients- so stories aren't as sad.

Feb 09, 2008 02:51 PM - Oh wow. You made me cry.
Thank you.

Feb 09, 2008 11:15 PM - It's amazing how many patients drive home with me but then seem to fade away as the music gets louder until I reach home with my car thumping and know that the rest of the day or night belongs to me

Feb 11, 2008 08:10 AM - As I wipe away the tears, the lump in my throat remains. Tough days and nights seem to abound now. You are a warrior who deserves accolades and praise. For those patients who could not express their thanks "Thank-you, your caring made a difference in my life." I would like to work with you a couple of shifts, I bet you're an awesome person.

Feb 14, 2008 12:49 PM - Yeah, sometimes they do get to us, don't they? Great article, Crusty, and bear up. It's just another day. Your patients will need you tomorrow so get some R & R today.

Feb 26, 2008 01:41 AM - Beautiful, well written and just right....Thank you.....Maybe we should all get together and write a book! I'm game....
