The fact that i only have to be at that place(work) three days a week

Re: What I Love About Nursing Is....

Well, this is a nursing student speaking, so:

The ability to learn so much from the nurses that I am supervised by at clinicals and still know that there is far more to learn

The ability to heal or comfort a person

The true, heartfelt compassion that I get to express without shame while I am in clinicals

The constant, everchanging Medical world that will forever keep my brain a hoppin'

Being surrounded by the awesome, seasoned nurses that make me feel secure and (as I'm sure they're biting their lips and wringing their hands, but would never let me see) allow me to practice skills while under their supervision so that I too can learn and one day work beside them

The thankful look, hug or words from a patient and/or their family

There is so much to love and I know I am just at the tip of the iceburg - I feel so lucky to be working towards this profession!

Re: What I Love About Nursing Is....

The hugs. I get and give lots of them.
Nursing is not a static career. It grows and changes with you.
The autonomy that comes with working in the field.
My coworkers. They are an awesome caring bunch of professionals.
My patients. They are treasure troves of history and knowledge. When they make me part of their families, it's such an honor.
