Being a nurse is a calling and a life long mission. Nurses manifest the true nature of being a health care provider. A nurse shares her time and best effort to alleviate every patient's suffering, ensure their safety and extend care to their families. My takeaway in this profession is when I hear my patient say "Thank you" or "I'm glad you are here." Knowing we made a difference to our patients make the long shifts and late lunches worth it.
