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.
