No nurse will tell you that it is an easy job, but they will tell you it is a rewarding one. Growing up, everyone wants to save the world. Being a nurse does not assure you of this, but what it does assure you of is that you will make a difference, by touching one heart at a time. You may touch your patients' lives, your patients' family's lives, or the lives of others working around you. However, you will always be making a difference. The end of the day does not always yield good outcomes, but nurses are there to be joyous with you in good times, and feel your sorrow in the not so good of times. They take your pain home with them, and sometimes don't let it go for days, years, or maybe they never do quite let it all go. As a nurse you have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and even ourselves.
