Cropped shot of a nurse holding a senior woman’s hands in a retirement home
Nursing is not for the weak. It is impossible to limit a nurse’s qualities to one of greater importance than the others. When describing nurses, many often suggest their compassion and kindness as admirable contributions to the success of the profession, yet resilience, grit, and gratitude make for exceptional nurses. This photo shows the willingness for nurses to put their hearts and souls into the patients they care for. Nursing shouldn’t be one’s entire world, however the profession is indicative of a lifestyle of selflessness. While nurses are made of ordinary people, the commitment they make to spending their lives prioritizing others constitutes to the kind of humans nurses are. The nurses I have had the pleasure of both being treated by and working under have shown me the amount of dedication it takes to be successful in nursing. Being confident enough in oneself to spend your own life pursuing that of others is respectable.
