Being a Nurse means…

You will never be bored,
You will always be frustrated,
You will be surrounded by challenges,
So much to do and so little time.
You will carry immense responsibility
And very little authority.
You will step into people’s lives,
And you will make a difference.
Some will bless you,
Some will curse you,
You will see people at their worst,
And at their best.
You will never cease to be amazed at people’s capacity
For love, courage and endurance
You will see life begin
And end
You will experience resounding triumphs
And devastating failures,
You will cry a lot
You will laugh a lot
You will know what it is to be human
And to be humane.
