It was a nurse

Who was the person to admit me... a nurse.

Who prepped me for surgery and ease my fears... a nurse.

Who held my hand as I went to sleep in the OR.... a nurse.

Who greeted me as I woke up with a smile and ice chips...a nurse.

Who kept me pain free and comfortable after my surgery... a nurse.

Who cleaned me up after I got sick and gave me something for the nausea from the anesthesia... a nurse.

it-was-a-nurse.jpg Who encouraged me to walk with my walker when PT started...a nurse.

Who took time I know she did NOT have to talk to me because she sensed I was feeling

down... a nurse.

Who showed me how to clean my surgery site so I could do it at home....a nurse.

Who doesn't diagnose the patient but cares for them after one is made.... a nurse.

Who has showed me the most compassion when I needed it.... a nurse.

Who shared a personal story about her life to make me feel better about my disability...a nurse.

Who has made a lifelong impact on my life... a nurse.

Who is the heart of the hospital and the foundation of a patients stay... a nurse.

Who often doesn't get a thank-you or the credit they deserve.... a nurse.

Funny how it often takes one doctor to diagnose a patient, but MANY nurses to care for a patient. What's that say about your profession?? IT'S IMPORTANT!!

Thanks for all that you do!!! Nurses Rock!!

    I love it. I wish the writers of TV shows would read this. According to TV Dr.'s do all this.

    Nurses don't diagnose officially, but there have been many times when I got the correct diagnosis and the doc did not. Sometimes a diagnosis that the doc has never even heard of. But like you, I hate hearing people say I'm just a _______. As the saying goes it takes a village.

    I agree. Sometimes it seems to me that the patients are the only ones(except us) who can realize how important nurses are.
