Thank A Nurse
Today I'm so impressed with the day in - day out job that nurses do and I applaud their generosity in giving of themselves to patients who need so much attention. Often I am finding that I need four hands to get the job done well and I don't know how a nurse does so much alone. It's so good to have someone to help all the time.
Also, I've had to call on nurses three times today, to help me deal with proper amount of pain control. It's Christmas and everyone should be celebrating with family and friends, enjoying the holiday. But I had to disrupt the holiday to get advice on what I needed to do next. And I was always treated with loving concern and given appropriate guidance to meet the need. Nurses are called on to do this often. I see that they give, and give, and keep on giving. I want to thank nurses for the wonderful job they do in taking care of the sick. I'm sure that nursing is a calling. Nurse, we all need you and I'm sorry that so much is demanded of you in caring for us.
Tonight, we have the pain meds under control again and once again he seems to be resting a little more comfortably, and it's thanks to the nurses who gave of their holiday time to advise me on how to make the adjustments.

I think you're right: it must be a calling. They are most definitely special people. More people should take the time to thank them.
