Hello Chantelle:
I like your post and the way you ended it. Nursing is more than a job or even a profession, it is a sense of life because as you well said we as nurses forget about our personal life to take care of the others who are in need, our patients. We are there with them and their families in all those stressful and terrible moments binging our best to support them and advocating for them. Many times, unappreciated and/or mistreated for the same person that we are helping.
