From a Nurse.

30. Psych nurses

Have sat there listening and crying with me when I was suicidal in the hospital.

Nurses helped me when I was psychotic and were so patient and kind to me.

Nurses in the cardiac unit massaged my back Because they noticed I hadn't been touched for years by someone who cared. That made me cry so hard. Those nurses were so kind,I will never forget them.

Nurses have helped me when I was screaming in pain. Held my hand when they put pain meds in my IV as that feeling it causes makes me freak out and get scared.

Nurses helped me when I was so sick I couldn't stop blowing out both ends and kept me from hitting the floor when I passed out from dehydration.

Nurses helped me through a panic attack that lasted 45 minutes.

Nurses are lifesavers literally.

So value them as much as your life and pay them what your life is worth to you because your life might be saved by them.
