The depth of this career

Young nurses have a lot to learn from us older ones--and vice versa. We need to mentor each other and build each other up, not bring each other down. Let's stop the complaining and negative talk at work--the "stinkin' thinkin'." We have so much to share with each other--the stuff they never taught us in nursing school. This nurse's story reminds us that by helping each other, we help our patients too.

As nurses work longer hours with less staff to care for sicker patients, our profession has become more stressful than ever. Sometimes we leave work with hearts as achy as our feet. This nurse's story reminds us of what makes it all worthwhile: our patients and their families.
