Nursing is not for the faint of heart. Success in the field requires a level of kindness, compassion, empathy, and mental fortitude that not everyone possesses. Every day, nurses across the country and around the world work tirelessly to ensure that those in need are taken care of, often at the cost of their own well-being.
Nurses are heroes, and the COVID-19 Pandemic undeniably proved this. People were scared. Businesses were shutting down. Hospitals were being flooded with positive cases. Yet, nurses worldwide showed resilience in the face of adversity.
That's why this National Nurses Week, we want to show appreciation for our nurses and their dedication to care.
