Thanks for this, My wife is a NICU nurse.

Hi, My Mother was a nurse in London during World War 2. Irv.

Although I didn't graduate, I do have a nursing / medical background (attended 3 of a 4-year program back in the day) and I'm amazed how much it's blessed me. As a holistic health care and professional massage practitioner (retired), the bulk of my clientele were from the medical profession, esp. nurses. They always had a "courtesy discount" for my services - because they deserve the very best!!
Thanks for posting. :)

I am a nurse and really appreciate what you have written! A few people don't understand all that we do. The doctors look at the patent but it's the nurses who often do the treatment on a day to day basis. We work long hours. Our feet ache, we get varicose veins if we don't wear proper socks. We work overnights and often get fat from having to snack to keep ourselves awake. Have poor sleep patterns and get tired and cranky. Often we have a family and still need to be on top form for them. A lot of nurses get burnt out. I am truly thankful for the appreciation you have shown.
