Seeing my scrawny 24-weeker finally go home as a chubby little 3 month old, crying with, and hugging parents who watched us do eveything to save their child, only weeks later allow him to go to heaven to be well again. Leaving work in the morning, knowing that my gravely ill preemie is now more stable than when I came on. Hearing a grateful mom thank me for taking care of her baby, and for giving her the peace of mind to finally get some desperately needed sleep.
These are only a few of the things that keep me going. I don't see myself as a miracle worker, or "angel", but someone giving a kid a chance at life, or a merciful freedom.

what is your motivation behind nursing? how are you able to see extremely sick children daily and not be devastated? i admire the profession but don't think it is something that i could ever do.
