Being a Nurse

"Being a nurse isn't about grades; it's about being who we are. NO book can teach you how to cry with a patient. NO class can teach you how to tell a family that their parents have died or are dying. NO professor can teach you how to find dignity in giving someone a bed bath. A nurse is NOT about the pills, the IV's and the charting; it's about being able to LOVE people when they are at their WEAKEST moments and being able to forgive them for ALL their wrongs and make a difference in their lives today. No one can make you a nurse...YOU JUST ARE."
