Part of my RN-BSN program for James Madison University is an assignment titled, “Tell The World”and in this assignment, I talk about my profession as a nurse. Nurses are vital to providing evidence based patient centered care that drastically affects their outcomes. I currently work on a step-down ICU and have been working through the COVID pandemic. One of the biggest lessons I have taken away from this pandemic is the importance of a nurse-to-patient centered care. Until working in this environment, I never realized how important nurses are to the emotional and psychological well-being of a patient. Simple acts of active listening, compassion, positivity, and touch are so vital to patients under these conditions. I feel these simple acts are not well known the public, but nurses provide so much more to a family’s loved ones than are realized. This is the point to my article; nurses are always there to take care of your family’s loved ones and provide them with compassionate care. The journey to become a nurse is difficult and often challenging many facing sacrifices with family and spending financial resources to pursue their dream, I am here to tell you, it is worth it.T
