    Use the letters of nursing to describe what nursing is to you. It can be silly, serious, sentimental, or quarky. Doesn't matter, just use your imagination! For example:

    Not
    Understanding
    Reasons
    Some
    Individuals
    Normally
    Give

    ...for not taking their routine medications.

    OK, admittedly that was a little weak, but it's 6:14 AM and I'm coming off of my second 12 hour night shift. You get the point. Let's have fun!

    Sorry. I have had a month or two of a few choice coworkers that do "Too much critical thinking" to look at their patients as people or address family concerns. Makes me crazy!

    Nurses are:
    Needed
    Under-appreciated
    Respected by most
    Sometimes abused
    Inspired to help others
    Never stop giving
    Greatest profession

    Things I experience in a shift:
    Never get to sit down until I clock out.
    Unbelievable stress.
    Running to pass meds on time,to answer the phone and call lights.
    Smiling at my residents and coworkers.
    I love and hate this place.
    Need more staff and more time to get everything done.
    Go home feeling exhausted, guilty for not doing more, pleased about what I did to make a residents life a little better.

    Needing more resources
    Unloved by administration
    Running into obstacles
    Sitting down is a luxury
    I must've been insane when I chose this career
    Not sure how much more I can take, but I'm still
    Giving it all I've got.......and then some.

    New to the profession
    Understanding I know very little but the basics
    Realizing what a honor it can be to care
    Seeking some way to regain my lost sanity
    Induring myself to wonderful preceptors
    Nervous about having a "real" career
    Going to give it all I got and kick butt!

    Under
    Real
    Stress;
    It's
    Now-and-then
    Gratifying.

    New to the field
    Under a lot of pressure
    Rely on positive people
    See a lot of codes
    Intelligent nurses go far
    Never disappointed in my decision of becoming a Nurse
    Giving it all that I got

    And that's real! Class of 2007 'RN' and keep on moving

    under all conditions
    regardless of the case
    since we're trained to help
    everywhere you go
    it's the same thing
    necessity of the job is
    goodwill to man
