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.

i am also amazed that people are arguring over this post... i agree with what someone posted... this thread is not about your beliefs... it is meant as an encouragement to fellow nurses or to people who are interested in nursing. i think that a lot of you are being silly! it seems like everytime there is a postitive it becomes a negative. don't like the poem... talk to the people who made the book. yeah, i did ask for feedback... just not negative ones. i figured if people didn't like it they wouldn't have responded so obviously they must like it if they are making such a big deal about it! i know i believe in god and i don't care what anyone else thinks! i don't feel bad for believing that there is a god and everyone has the right to there on opinions so post whatever you like if that floats your boat!!:D

thanks for the encouragement...your poem was sweet!

Despite the interesting discussions about religion, I wanted to say thank you for the uplifting post. I felt VERY proud to be a nurse after reading it. ... It is so hard to keep giving 110% of ourselves at times... that your post reminded me how worthwhile it is!!!!!!

thanks:kiss
