Next time someone says you are “just a nurse” share this with them:
 
“I’m ‘just a nurse’ I just make the difference between life and death.
I justhave the educated eyes that prevent medical errors, injuries, and other catastrophes.
I’m just a researcher who helps nurses and doctors give better, safer, and more effective care.
I justwork in a major teaching hospital managing and monitoring patients who are receiving experimental, cutting edge treatment.
‘Just a Nurse’
I just educate patients and family about how to maintain their health.
I just make the difference between person staying in their own home and going to a nursing home.
I’m just a professor of nursing who educates future generations of nurses.
I just make the difference between dying in agony and dying in comfort and with dignity.
I’m just central to providing the real bottom-line in health care.
Don’t you want to be ‘just a nurse’ too?”     Suzanne Gordon

I like this very much kaya, thanks!  I like this far better than being called an angel.  I'm not, I'm a human being with  flaws like everyone else.  I am not super human.  I make mistakes and take responsibility for them.
