WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"I believe a nurse would make a fantastic politician-look at what we navigate every day!" "I was my mother's hospice nurse[horizontal ellipsis]. It was the most difficult thing I ever did but the best honor I could have shown her. Strangers didn't bathe her or feed her or turn her. I did. She was grateful and I am eternally better for it." "Fellow nurses, the public is increasingly more confused as to their simple request of 'What can I expect from you?' 'Nurse' has many meanings now."
