The 4 fundamental responsibilities of a nurse are: To promote health, To prevent illness, To restore health, To alleviate suffering.

Nursing is as old as humanity. It is really a " vocation ".

as a nurse, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind ,soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves.

I like the quote by Maya Angelou

"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments in which you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love"

I may be competent, dependable, efficient, but if I fail to communicate the language of love, I practice nursing in vain.

"Though I devote my very life to the profession of nursing and forfeit personal desires, If I become cynical, detached and fatigued to the point of indifference, my energy is expended in futility."     Robert Messner

Nursing is an art:  and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit?  It is one of the Fine Arts:  I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.  ~Florence Nightingale
 
 
 
 
I agree with you.
Nurses is worthy of our respect for.Not for anything else, just because their spirit.
When i was a child,my dream was to became a nurse.I think i'm not the onluy one that  feel nurse are angels.
Most of the time, we may not realize their existence,but  when the various diseases rapidly comes,things are changed!
People would deeply appreciate nurses selfless caring  and spare no effort to pay.
Let we learn to respect them,the angels in our lives-nurse1
