Sums up my last 4 shifts!

Sleepswithbooks You have to be ready to throat punch someone by the end of four shifts in a row!! Curl up in a blanket with some cookies and ice-cream 🥰 5y

ElizaMarie @Stacypatrice These past 4 days (most of them over 12 hour shifts) were intense. We had a great (great as in terrible) patient load with tons of super mean insulting people! It was wearing thin.. also 3 out of the 4 days I didn't get a lunch break !! Ugh so Hangry and dealing with insults! 5y

The hallway and elevator walls in the hospital where I work are covered with drawings and letters from kids from all over the world. Probably from school projects. The outpouring of love and support during a crisis never ceases to amaze me. This note in one of the elevators is my favorite. I like to imagine that it is from a young book lover.

Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What it Is Not | Florence Nightengale

#magical May May 6: nurse‘s day

I read a book when I was younger (late elementary or middle school) about Florence Nightingale, an amazing woman and a nursing pioneer. Her story stuck with me even though I don‘t remember the exact book.

I went to a university with a big nursing program & several friends are nurses. I admire and respect the work they do. The profession is under-appreciated and underpaid. I certainly couldn‘t do what they do. ❤️

Florence Nightingale definitely had some sexist ideas about women as nurses so I won‘t share any of those. I wonder if this one was inspired by the Biblical parable about the mustard seed?

Nurses are some of my favorite people - my family has had a total of 5 now, I think. Well, at least in my lifetime. Before that? 🤷‍♀️
