Thank You To My Peers

Published

I know those of you who are still doing bedside are worn out, and feel that you don't make a difference.  I want to take a few minutes to tell you how much of a difference you make.  Two days ago, I ended up having surgery I wasn't expecting.  The day consisted of two different surgeons at two different offices, surgery within hours, an overnight med surg stay, and many, many excellent, compassionate, and empathetic nurses.  Please accept a huge "Thank God for all nurses everywhere" from this cranky old RN.  You're the best and please don't let anybody make you feel otherwise! ❤️

Well, bless your heart for your appreciative post, Patricia, and it's good things worked out for you.

Both my wife and I have required medical interventions in the past couple of years- we're both now retired- and the service received have been, in the very least satisfactory, to extraordinary.

This is a great post!! I get a lot of "thank yous" from patients, but honestly, I like the ones in writing the most (preferably with cookies, donuts, etc.). But even without food items, when I'm in the break room, it's nice rereading that thank you note and recognizing the last name. Gives me a boost
