A Nurse

I usually don't go for all this "nurse" like stuff- but a friend of mine posted this, and I actually liked it and felt is summed up what it is like to be a nurse....

To all nurses out there, this is a well deserve pat in the back......."You're a nurse?? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make?" "WHAT DO I MAKE??!!".... I make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared. I can make your child breathe when they stop. I can help your father survive a heart attack. I make myself get out of bed at......... 5am (Or stay up all night) to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live. I work all ...day to save the lives of strangers. I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken cared of. I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your husband today is charted. I make myself work weekends and holidays because people don't just get sick Monday thru Friday. I make my self smile when taking care of demanding family members and patients. Today, I might save your life. I make a difference, what do you make?" REPOST if you are a or you love a nurse.
