    Hello, fellow nurses! I hope you've had a great nurse's week thus far!

    I'm an RN, CNS and have worked in med-surg, neuro, vascular, spines, and emergency. For the past four years, I've been a full-time nursing instructor at the college level. I LOVE tthat I get to teach nursing students so much more about nursing than just the basics. What we do every day is touch people's lives in so many ways. As we all know, these interactions can be positive or negative. I love going to work each day knowing I am pushing my students to be the POSITIVE impact for those for whom they provide care.

    Nurses and all those involved in caring for others ROCK!

    Feel free to add me!
  • Happy Nurses Week (we get to celebrate it on the 12th of May here in New Zealand)!
    I've been a RN for 18 years. I work in a general practice medical centre, doing a bit of everything. My main area of practice is chronic disease - especially Diabetes. This is a fantastic time to be working - so much improving rapidly and I have the privilige of working with and for some excellent people. Dont think I'd want to do anything else!

    Happy Nurses Week!

    Med-Surg nurse here! It's so easy to forget about taking care of ourselves because we are always taking care of others, but it is so important! And so hard with all the cake and candy around esp this week..

    I'm a nursing assistant working in an inpatient anorexia unit. It's mentally demanding and draining but once you see even one recovered patient, its worth it.

    RNs aren't the only nurses, guy.


    Happy nurses week fellow nurses. Dont forget to pick up your free cinnabon by tomorrow at participating locations!
    Thanks for pointing this out. Everyone in the nursing field work hard together to make someone's life better. It does not matter what license they hold in that regard.
