That woman is what a nurse is. Your pain is their pain. Your success is their joy.

I love nurses.

She jumps! I’m crying.

when i was in the hospital i had a nurse who stayed overtime after working the night shift and waited till i woke up so we could eat together. all my nurses in intensive care came to visit me when i got moved to pediatrics because they got word that i cried when i had to leave them. the nurse in the ambulance came to visit me because apparently on the way to the hospital i expressed to her that i thought no one loved me enough to visit me in the hospital. my love for nurses is out of this fucking world.

Nurses are some of the best people on Earth. When I was admitted the second time (the sepsis time) and they wheeled me back into pediatrics, literally all of the nurses were in hysterics because they were so sad to see that I was back and with an even worse diagnosis.

Anyways, there was one nurse. Lynn was her name. She spent a lot of time with me. She truly got to know me and after day 4 in the hospital, I finally confessed to her that I was really bored with watching TV and pretending to sleep all day. She asked me what I wanted to do and I told her I wanted to draw and sketch. She came back from her days off with a HUGE bag full of brand spanking new art supplies that she had bought out of her own money just for me and the only thing she wanted in return was for me to draw her something.

She also made me a friendship bracelet and I still have it.

My grandmother was a nurse and one of the most caring people I have ever known, besides my sister (who is thinking of going into nursing). The amount of time and care these people put into their jobs and the people they work with is truly inspiring. Love to all nurses.
