She was everything I needed her to be while going through the birth. I made sure that the hospital knew how happy I was with her & the entire experience, as well as thanking her as much as I could. I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her and how fantastic she is at her job.

It is there that i met God's truest Angel's in the form of nurses. They showed me compassion, reassured me when things got so bad that i was unsure of what to do, they took the time to hold my daughter's hand, to call her sweetie or princess just so that she wouldn't feel frightened. They went above and beyond the call of duty.<br /><br /><br />Sorry for the long ramble but thank you Becky and all the nurses everywhere for your amazing spirit and beautiful souls.<br /><br /><br /><br />Best wishes to you and your beautiful family<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Asha (ashak1984@hotmail.com) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320491889526107547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-85833949442458395152013-04-11T17:48:42.836-04:002013-04-11T17:48:42.836-04:00This made me cry.

Your patients are lucky to have you by their side.<br /><br />I recently gave birth to my first son and it was a nurse that taught me how to breastfeed. I was frustrated and in tears and she stayed with me until I got it. I will never forget her calmness and her patience. That same nurse took me son to the nursery after knowing I hadn't slept in 48 hours. She told me I needed sleep.<br /><br />Nurses are the unsung heroes. You can really tell the ones that care about you and your family. I'll never forget the nurse that was there for me when I needed her most!Caithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745360052340619314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-4622322775267336192013-04-11T17:36:04.751-04:002013-04-11T17:36:04.751-04:00From one nurse to another, THANK YOU!!

Sometimes you have patient's that are wonderful and easy to care for. Other times they are difficult and crabby. Through it all though we go to extreme lengths to care for them, make them better and help them to accomplish their goals. I expect no great trophies or awards but it's amazing what a simple thank you from a patient and/or family can do. There are days I question my choice to ever become a nurse. And then there are days when I couldn't imagine not doing what we do. It's a blessing to be able to make a difference in people's lives and be there for them in their time of need. From one nurse to another. Thank you for all that you do!
