40 uplifting quotes to honor our nurses
“Save a life, you are a hero. Save a hundred lives, you are a nurse.”
I asked three friends (Vicki, Cindy and Taryn), who have been in nursing for over 40 years, why they chose this profession. They, Of course, enjoy medical science, but as Cindy says, “I enjoy satiety when I am able to answer the patient’s health questions and guide them through acute and chronic health problems.”But they all know that they are making real changes in people’s lives.
Nurses endure pain and complaints in the legs for a long time, while calming scared patients and anxious loved ones. These dedicated professionals have the ability to make you feel like you are their only patient at any time. However, with this intense work comes burnout and Vicki insists that “it is important for the nurse to take care of herself to survive emotionally, physically, mentally and professionally.”At the end of the day, they all agree that they will not choose any other job. To honor our nurses, we wanted to share some of our favorite inspirational and humorous quotes. Many of the quotes are from unknown authors, but I can bet that 90% of them came from nurses! Share one or two with your favorite nurse today.
