I'm stepping up to the plate and out of the box.
I'm a real Nurse: Not the kind of nurse who's stuck to the seat with Elmer's glue, or the clipboard nurse in a starched lab coat looking for errors, or even the nurse who is perpetually late.
I am not an rn (resting nurse).
I'm a Warlord Nurse, marinating in overtime, who fights for intergrity and compassionate care.
Regarding lazy nurses and aides: A wise Nurse Chen once told me, "A crow is black all over the world."
Then she would go into the pantry and eat bitter melon, (raw).
Nurse Chen was hard-core, but she was hard-working and never suffered from indigestion (nor indignation).
I eat bitter melon of a different kind.
Every time I suffer the indignation of a physician who yells at me, I swallow...
Every time a nurse's aide rolls their eyes when I ask for simple vital signs, I swallow...
Every time a nurse hangs up on me when I'm trying to give report, I swallow...
I protect and serve. I am a healthcare soldier.
I belong to the division called N.U.R.S.E.
Necessary
Unsung hero
Resilient
Selfless
Essential
It begins with us...and ends with us. We take all the bitter melons and make melonade.
I am stepping up. And I am demanding respect.
I'm a real N.U.R.S.E.
Can I get an Amen?

Maybe the "swallow" seems passive to some but, to engage with these people saps one's positive energy and they then "own" a part of you.
