Nursing is an act of service. It is precisely in times of great vulnerability that we need human connection the most.
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.
The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.
Nursing is an art that requires as much finesse and empathy as it does medical knowledge.
