for all us older nurses

Amen... I've probably taken years off of the lives of many senior nurses who have helped me out of some tense situations in my first 2 1/2 years.

Thanks for posting this Kizzy! :heartbeat I was starting to feel VERY negative after reading some of the other posts. Think I'm going to have to go in to work tonight and hug a couple of my young coworkers for NOT being like some of the posters here!

I love older nurses. If I was able to choose my nurse.....I'd rather have an older nurse than a younger one, for sure!!!

honestly, i'm not feeling negative at all.

rather, i feel a whole bunch of pity for some of these freshies (:chuckle, love that word)...

and, their elderly pts.

furthermore, i do not feel the least bit inclined to advocate for myself, nor defend myself.

i'd gladly take on those who question and outright disrespect my abilities as a nurse.

we can do it on a unit floor, or in the alley behind the bldg.

either way, i'll take you down.

My senior nurse mentors have been a godsend. Thank you for all that you do!

I love older nurses because they have experience. Not just nursing experience, but LIFE experience. :smokin:As the old saying goes, the older we get, the better we get!!! Can I hear an AMEN????

I loved the older nurses I spent my clinicals with!! So patient and a wealth of information!! You've put in your dues so I can put in mine...you get nothing but respect and a pat on the back from me :)
