As a male nurse, I appreciate what you say about my sisters in arms, as well as your verses about the male nurses. It makes me feel wanted in this field.

The feelings mutal on this one Brother!!....I only typed in nurses tribute as I have over drank on Lambs Rum after a tough shift on a PICU unit....after leaving my 10 year wife n I just fancied You Tube pick up! ...but us Male Nurses are left out on this one!.....ohhh well 😂😂😂

[@pamiam7511]

My newborn was transferred to another hospital NICU unit around midnight. Two nurses on duty came in my room and sat with me as I freaked out. I thought it was because they weren’t busy haha. The next day I realized no, the maternity floor was totally full. My baby turned the corner two weeks later, and we went back to thank those nurses after her 6 week checkup. That baby is 28 yo now. Thank you Doylestown Hospital maternity nurses 👸🏻

[@emilyestelle7471]

I'm not a nurse, just a CNA, but our charge nurse is great. She works much harder than she's given credit for and does much more than a lot of people realize. I was going to go to school for nursing, which seemed like the next logical step from CNA but I actually decided to go for health care admin because SOMEBODY who has actually worked on the floor of a health care facility should be trying to take care of the nurses and CNAs (And Doctors, because you all put in some brutal hours.) who take care of our patients.

I was overwhelmed by the expression of gratitude for such a small thing. And now you! Wow! You made my day even better!

[@giselleg1489]

Love being a NICU nurse! 💗

[@tanya5322]

Debbie Roberts many years ago, I spent just one night in a PICU room with my daughter who was mysteriously unconscious and mostly unresponsive. I’m told than a toddler, not yet two years of age, should not have a heart rate in the 70s. It was one of the nurses who told me the hospital crib was strong enough for me climb in with her. About 3 in the morning, just as mysteriously, she woke up. We took her back home on Mother’s Day 1997. We never did figure out why she was so seemingly close to death, or why she just as suddenly wasn’t. Doctors get so much of the praise, but nurses do so much of the work.

[@YuckyMama]

Debbie Roberts My twins were born 13 weeks early and spent 10 weeks in the NICU. Twice a NURSE noticed a life-threatening problem (my son got septic through his PIC line) and saved my kids life. That was exactly 16 years ago and I still remember the names of the 14 nurses who helped us. I don’t remember the names of the two docs. PS. The first time I held my daughter, she was 5 days old and I was being discharged. I went into the NICU at 1AM in tears. The nurses (2 of them) transferred my child (CPAP& all lines) to my arms and let me hold her. It was Mother’s Day. Their compassion floors me. PPS. They also had to give my son a scalp line. They knew it’s upsetting to see so they saved the hair they shaved, taped it to a card labeled “First Haircut” to make me feel better.

[@mick9088]

My Doughter is a nurse, For 10years now. The past 5 have been in the ER. Of a major hospital in Upstate NY... I have nothen but respect and admiration for ALL nurses. What they see, and feel. Is beyond anything I could never do. I'm proud of ALL Nurses. Thank you all.

[@destinyheath6583]

Nurses are legit angels. I’ve been in the hospital for two weeks and will be for a while longer and my nurses have helped through so much. They’re honestly the best.

[@jordans.1910]

Thank you for the appreciation and the shout out to male Nurses, we appreciate being recognized as we are still pretty well outnumbered. To all my fellow Nurses out there, regardless of gender, thank you for all you do and keep up the great work. Making a difference in someone's life and one heart felt "thank you" makes all the tough times worth it, we are more important to our patients and families than we will ever know. I'm proud to be a Nurse and I'm proud of everything our profession has accomplished. Happy Nurse's Week everyone!

Oh wow, im in tears! No one shows us appreciation and we are abused by patients day in and day out. This was so touching! Thank you. From a very tired and overworked nurse😭

Decided not to renew my nursing license after 40+yrs. Tired of being sh....t on. I wasn’t nursing anymore, instead I was expected to meet administrators goals for “star” ratings. Now I am a Registered Pharmacy Technician in retail. Loving the contact with our patients (customers). No stress, appreciation from them and Corporate. Recently performed CPR on a coworker til EMTs arrived. I was given an Appreciation Certificate from Corporate (I was surprised because nurses save lives everyday without even a Thank You from Administrators). What meant more was hugs from that coworker and her husband! Thank You ZDogg!

I finally stood up and got mental help this week, started Prozac, talking to someone. I can’t take care of people until I take care of myself.

Did you get into your program? I was a PCA for the past 6 years and in December a few long time patients gave me an ultimatum, go apply and don't come back until you've got proof you did, every last one of those people in that community wished me off my last day in January, here I am roughly 3 months to finishing my LPN program in December, I wish I could have some sitting in the audience with my Wife and Daughter, thats how much their kick in the ass means to me.
