Happy Nurses Week: How’s Your Week Going So Far?
We of course celebrate nurses everyday around here, and over at RN.FM Radio. Have you gotten involved in our #NurseGive giveaways yet? Well it is definitely not too late. We’re running them all week.
I really just wanted to take the opportunity to honor each and everyone of you out there for the incredible supports you’re providing to our healthcare system. I’ve made the occasional reference to this aforementioned system as fractured, but it is you, the nurses who are helping mend this overarching mission to provide safe patient care without antipathy (although I know that our patience can certainly be challenged).
Your talents, creativity, and compassion extends beyond just caring for your patients. This ability to meld a complex science of medicine with the skill and heart of nursing promotes a higher level of healing.
You are vital to the infrastructure of healthcare, an extension of your patients and their families, an advocate for positive change, and the compass that leads the way. Making a difference may be a common statement for nurses, but the impact of your presence can cast a ray of hope among those that need you the most.
I am proud to be in your presence as a colleague and an ambassador for sustained health.
Care for yourself this week, and each and every week thereafter. Model what you teach, laugh, cry, smile until it hurts, and make time for YOU.
I’ll see you out there on the front lines.
