To All The Nurses In The World

Nurses General Nursing

Published

To all the nurses who, perhaps more than any other group on earth, truly ease the suffering in the world.

You evangelists of encouragement, You are so much more than you know.

You have not let what you couldn't do stop you from doing all you could do.

You are salespeople: Your briefcases are filled with a product called hope.

You are explorers, knowing that once you have gone as far as you can see, you will see farther.

You are singers spreading the melody of consideration.

You are lawyers making a case for life.

You are authors helping others add more pages to their book of memories.

You are comedians dispensing the medicine of laughter.

You are magicians creating real miracles that inspire patients and families.

Like King Arthur and Joan of Arc, you are warriors battling against the villians of negatvity.

Dorothy would have reached Oz much faster in the company of one nurse.

For no one can ever practice your profession unless they already posses a brain and a heart filled with love.

You are living proof that humanity is created in the inmage and the likeness of God, and the name of God is LOVE.
