I so admire and respect Nurses for the jobs you all do! I truly think there's a special place in heaven for nurses! During the last couple of years my dear mom and dear mother in law were still living, I came into contact with quite a few nurses. There was only one time with one nurse who was not very empathetic or compassionate. The first time I thought maybe she was just having a bad day, realizing we all have those %*&@% days sometimes, don't we? And, we're all allowed to have such days sometimes. But after many days of coming into contact with her I realized she just was not a happy person and apparently didn't really like her job, or was just burnt out. I know I could not work around patients day in and day out. I'm sure you get many great patients who are not very demanding but I know you also probably get more than your share of the cranky and crotchety ones too. I'm not sure how I would rate as a patient in a hospital situation. I have always been the type that wants to be left alone when I'm sick and not feeling up to par. If I had to be poked and prodded and twisted and turned I know I probably wouldn't be pleasant to be around! LOL.

Bouquets to you and all Nursing Professionals!
