Nurses are a unique kind. They have this insatiable need to care for others, which is both their greatest strength and fatal flaw.
Nursing is not just an art, it has a heart. Nursing is not just a science, but it has a conscience.
To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; is to be a nurse.
Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry. Without them, it would surely collapse.
Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work.
Bound by paperwork, short on hands, sleep, and energy... nurses are rarely short on caring.
Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.
