Check in to give Props for the profession of Nurses. [View all]

They really don't get their due but they most certainly should.

I've had some pretty serious surgeries in my life-- Brain Surgery to remove a couple of tumors---a Two-Level Back Fusion--that quite frankly was 100 times worse than the Brain surgery.

Both times I remember waking up to Angels who were there for my every need. They were Nurses and they were wonderful.

My wife was recently in the hospital after an accident and I marveled as I watched them take care of her. They are committed, they work long hours, and most love their jobs.

I'm here to tell you---I LOVE NURSES!
