Nurse Revitalization

Today closes the end of Nurses' Week, a time of appreciation for all the contributions of nurses to the healthcare industry. As I enjoy the thoughtful gestures of fellow nurses and those whom I work for or with, it just brings me closer to the thoughts of how important the profession is from the days of Florence Nightingale up until today. Things have changed but the foundation remains the same, this week for me has revitalized my initial feelings that I need to find my voice within the profession and why I became a nurse. It is time to make changes (small first of course) so that I am rewarded for myself that I contributed to maintaining the respect and notoriety of nurses everywhere. What would nursing look like if we made baby steps towards the necessary business changes so that we can get back to the reason we all become nurses in the first place; definitely something to think about. Have a great day...and you too can make a difference in nursing not just this week but for life times to come.

Happy National Nurse's Day!

Happy National Nurse's Day to nurses, who day in and day out have given a piece of themselves to ensure that the needs of others are met. It is great to be honored for all the contributions that nurses have made to the health care industry, as we are a vital part of its existence. The profession of nursing continues to grow during technological advances and changes in health care, but its foundation remains strong and the basis for why nurses are valuable to everyone in all walks of life. Today and during this week, let's honor the most trusted profession and provide them with the same support that they give so selflessly to others.Please share any stories of nurses who made a impact in your life!

~Thanks to my fellow nurses!
