Nurses Day: Have You Thanked Your Caregiver Today?

May 6th, though not a national holiday, is National Nurses Day. As patients quite normally see their nurses far more than their doctor, have you thanked your nurse today?

Why do the most thankless jobs often bring the most dedicated people? I’m not sure but I know it’s true. I spent years of my life in hospitals, 2 years as a patient and 10 visiting patients as part of my job.

Knowing a fair amount about human nature, I believe I have found there to e two major types in the nursing field. Those who are in it for the prestige; expecting a sense of importance and majesty, along with a good paycheck. Ten years after they’ve begun their quest, these are the not-so nice nurses we’ve all encountered. They found out there is more poop than glory in their line of work. They watched a lot of 'ER' and it didn't look this grimy. They slave away and are shown little gratitude or acknowledgement. The doctor pops in, at most, once a day and gets all the credit for the patients’ recovery.

The second type of nurse is the one that’s incredible to meet. She or he selflessly serve; ignore the ingratitude and criticisms they encounter every day, and they love doing the work. The patient isn’t an inconvenience, but the reason they went to work that day. They don’t get paid enough, because nobody could afford to pay people like that what they are worth.

And let me tell you, if you wind up in their care, thank God, and thank them, again and again, because they are THE healers.

Thanks Ladies and Gentlemen, for your sacrifices and going beyond the call of dutry.
