Nurses/nursing/care-givers

I always look at the profiles of new members and recently I see a lot of profiles listing nurse, etc as their profession.
Over my life, I've spent a couples-month's work of time in your care. I've had recent losses and was also supported in the care given to my loved-ones.

Thanks for all you life-givers pour over people.

  • I've had some good experiences with nurses too. I usually try to find out their address and sent them a card thanking them for their care. I'm glad that talented and caring people continue to seek out this profession.

  • True, sometimes they are very underrated but I’ve come across some really genuine and caring people. Humbled and thankful for all they do!

  • I as well have come across nurses that are now cuddlers. They know how to love and take care of people.

  • I have seen them wear T-shirts at Rally's that say - Save one life and you are a hero, save hundreds and you're a nurse

  • I work with nurses both in hospice care as well as my weekend job at the hospital. Love what they do, I def could not do it!! Takes a rare bird

  • You’re more likely to have a nurse care for you while you’re sick and seeing the doctor. From my experience anyway, I only ever saw my doctor after the nurse looked at me and knew already what the doctor had to prescribe me.

    @stellarosass - my primary care 'doctor' is actually a nurse practitioner. It's impossible to get an appointment with the one real doctor at my practice. But I don't mind because the NP is much more thorough than any real doctor I've ever seen.

  • My mom was a home care nurse and she gave so much. I think about becoming a professional caregiver but don't know if I could tolerate losing patients ?

    I gave her a little placard that she still keeps in the back window of her car: What love can't cure, nurses can.

    Much love to the caring professions.

  • As a registered nurse who just came across this thread on the forum, I say THANK YOU to you all for your kind words! Nursing is hard work, can be extremely physically exhausting and emotionally draining, but I can't think of anything that is more rewarding!

    Be well,

    Kathryn
