That Nurses week is for nurses. An annual celebration for nurses, celebrated from May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, through May 12, Florence Nightengale's Birthday.
Now some facilities ignore this week every year, even though their largest population of employees are nurses. Here's to another Great Big....How do you spell Ludicrous???
Nurses Week is for nurses to celebrate being nurses and revel in all that they manage to do every year..All year long..Saving Lives and making a difference every day..Making decisions that not only saves lives but extends the meaning of life for many others.
Sometimes it is just providing comfort measures in the worst of times for those patients that are nearing the end...
Sometimes it is just making that child with a fever feel a little better by providing the right medicine...and then getting the opportunity to hold and cuddle the fussy child for the mom or dad who is just worn out.
Other times it is wrestling with the four horsemen to save the life of that patient who is lying there listening to the not-so-subtle tunes of the Auto-Pulse...It is always a challenge to see who wins...Again a time to consider quality of life issues, but fighting the good fight goes on..
Nursing can mean so many things, and WE Deserve the recognition this WEEK provides...
We Deserve OUR OWN WEEK....
Happy Nurses Week All..
Thank you Florida Times Union, for noticing, even on the next to last day...Here's Wishing more patient care providers do the same....
