Miss Colorado skips the song and dance, talks about nursing

[@DottyGale8]

THIS is what a true Miss America is. And there are many like her out there in our hospitals and clinics that are also winners - even without the pageant.

[@toilettduckk]

It would make the pageant a lot more interesting. After all, does the woman who represents the best the U.S. have to offer really need to be an accomplished entertainer? Why shouldn't she be someone who can speak intelligently and eloquently?

[@philxdev]

yeah well isn´t that a discrimination of dumb people? seriously.. they try to pull a liberal bs on all and forget that there are people who simply cannot speak intelligetly and eloquently but are still good people.. this whole pageant stuff is a load of crap and the whole process is open for manipulation.. they told "save the whales and world peace" ever since they introduced the speach as part of the pageant and rehearsing the crap out of this one to tell people exactly what they want to hear and what sounds the best isn´t quite the "accomplishment" they try to portray with this changed format... now they just focus less on skin and more on "lies and fairy tales" ... if this was all so non discriminating.. where are the ugly women who really made a difference in peoples lifes and helpf many many people with their good deeds or their business achievments? Not saying beautiful women can´t and won´t , in fact every women has the potential..

[@2012Iamsam]

I'm a floor nurse, like in a hospital, and your comment just made me really happy. Thank you :)

[@Svoboda1234]

Thousands. It's great that people really respect this profession.

[@colleen4ever]

@@Svoboda1234 That's must it, it's a profession...it;s not a talent! She should have saved this for the interview portion.

[@cowlico]

She just did something very unique and no one caught it.......she changed how everyone especially young girls dreaming of becoming beauty queens will view this contest and did it with one of the greatest and honorable professions there is!! I hope young people are viewing this and listening to everything she said. Nurses are the greatest!!

[@cassiefoldi5272]

Yes!! 🎉

[@colleen4ever]

But it;s not a talent, she just talked. Anyone can just talk! This should have been saved for the interview portion.

[@AllRequired]

In fact, this performance laid the groundwork for the single most important codification in the history of pageantry. The category in question made its debut at the most recent Miss America. Guess which state won?

[@leshaehalliburton7017]

Thank you

[@sharonmadill3627]

[@jeremyparker8282]

[@utopiachild71]

Being a great nurse is absolutely a talent. When I delivered my stillborn son, my nurse helped me in ways she probably doesn't even understand. Her words of encouragement are something I still replay in my head often to get through the day. She was my angel on that heartbreaking day. Kudos to this woman.

[@shanvikki553]

May God bless you!

[@sheilapurdy7689]

You made my cry. I've been taking care of my 94 year old father for the past 5 years. The last year the hardest because he doesn't know me most of the time. Thank you for what you do. It does have wonderful moments. I would vote for you 😇👍🏼🌟

Aw

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

You are a true Angel of God. 5 years is a lengthy time to take care of a loved one. I spent 2 years with my mother, I would drive 2 hours each way to her house to take care of her on the weekends to give her caregiver a break. The hardest part was knowing I would lose her soon. I am still mourning her 12 years later, but she comes by every so often and pats me on the shoulder. Your dad will do the same for you. You are doing the Lords work and God will bless you, just keep praying for strength and He will come forth in more ways then you know.

[@daycharan6795]

Best talent I've ever seen in a pageant.

[@colleen4ever]

She just TALKED!!! All she did was talk! Anyone can talk!

[@AllRequired]

This is actually a skill. But really, anyone that's willing to think outside the box and speak seriously about a serious profession deserves much more than the national title. She deserves an international honor.

[@elucified]

Miss Colarado, everyone!! Already won in my book.

[@sunnyskye1106]

+elucified Ditto. :)

[@Belforhir]

+elucified Because she realized patients are people? I basially grew up with nurses as a extended part of my family... NONE of them would ever say some stupid shit like that

[@erikagardner4399]

+Thomas Erlandsen you grew up with some good nurses. But you need to ask them if they ever came across nurses who were just there for the money and could care less about the patient. Or better yet go into a nursing home and ask some of the patients which nurses they like and why. I have run across plenty of both types of nurses. Lucky for my patients I know them as who they are and not as what they have.

[@Belforhir]

Erika Gardner That don't happen in Norway... they're severely underpaid.. Most likely the absolutely worst job when it comes to effort/pay

[@feliciannurse]

Beautifully done! Makes me even more proud of my profession!! 😊

[@sunnyskye1106]

+feliciannurse As you should be. Unsung heroes you are.

[@rkf2746]

+feliciannurse I have always held nurses on a tall pedastal, but one late night in a hospital two years ago, sealed it. I was in to my second day there following open heart surgery. I had no family to come, and only two visitors in the 7 days I was admitted. My head nurse, who was finishing her shift, stopped in my room to check on me, and to tell me she was leaving. I'm pretty much the "I'll do it myself" type, but this night I just wanted company. I asked her if she would set for just a minute, until I dozed off. The next morning, nurses told me that she stayed for over an hour. You could not have chosen a more honorable profession. Thank you.

[@annieeicher1187]

I agree (: I'm in nursing school and I already do the "I'm just a nurse" comment all the time! loved her story!

[@Lseers08]

+feliciannurse Amen! Could not imagine myself in any other field!

[@scottt1683]

+feliciannurse Your profession is way undervalued. I hope you're not under the Australian government as they treat nurses like low class servants. I am proud you are a nurse.

[@tomvaughan7894]

[@RoyalHam]

Thank you. Reminded me of the significance behind the things we do every day for our patients as nurses. They are people first.

[@amberwillock8605]

As a nurse, I know exactly what u mean. Your speech brought tears to my eyes as there are some many memories of lives I have touched. Thank you for sharing your speech in public. You are truly kind hearted.

[@colleen4ever]

It;'s a nice speech, and she's a remarkable woman, but this is a SPEECH!! It;s not a talent!

[@conniewilcoxle]

WOW! What a voice of honesty and integrity....I so admire this MISS COLORADO!!

[@JotenTheCorgi]

My mother was in hospital for 5 days this year, one thing I learned is to love the nurse because they love you. This woman is what I saw, someone who does everything to help. Everyone today, hug a nurse, they're the best of us, also hug a Doctor and a EMT/Firefighter and yes, even a Cop. They tend to help us when we are down.

[@813greeneyedgirl]

Nurses like her make me VERY proud to be a nurse. Obviously people do not realize that monologues are extremely difficult to deliver, not to mention her incredible level of patient care. I love this and her passion- I don't understand how this became so controversial.

[@kiadiva26]

This!!!! Being a nurse takes a special kind of selfless heart. Not everyone has that heart. They are angels.

[@RichardAugust]

Beautifully said. She's awesome inside and and out. Sure, she was talking from something she wrote, but what she wrote was from her heart. Amazing person, she is.

[@nicktheveganchick]

I wish more nurses were like this! I have a lot of health issues and over the past 16 year I very rarely feel cared about at all by doctors or nurses. This woman seems like she has such a big heart.. ❤️ Hope it inspires others to be the same way.

[@donaldaxel]

Miss Colorado’s heartfelt talk about her nursing experience was truly moving. It's not just her outer beauty that shines; her compassion and dedication illuminate the beauty of her spirit. A winner in every sense, no matter the outcome of the pageant. The transcript is possibly wrong a couple of places. At 01:01 she probably explains: "he would tease me about being the only nurse on the unit that can reach the goods on the top shelf. It was a lot of laughs with Joe."

[@blessings4u2]

Awesome! You are a winner in my heart and all of the patients you've had and will have in the future. You showed the world, tonight, exactly what you are willing to lose for your love of them. Bless your heart! There are hundreds of Joe's out there waiting to meet you!

[@montydog1009]

There have always been monologues in this section of the pageant. And there would be more to come. But the category in question (which Madison Marsh would go on to win) only made its debut this year.

[@robinmccloskey1778]

I've watched this three times over the last few days. This is a touching reminder of the importance of our profession. Clinical skills, charting, juggling the multidisciplinary teams of our patients, and all surrounded by compassion. Now that's talent!!! Thank you.....RN 2 RN

[@pearlskies]

I'm not a nurse, though I've been grappling with going to school to become one for some time now. This absolutely solidified that decision for me, once and for all! It brings back so many memories that I've made working with patients through other mediums. I can't wait to one day be a nurse!

[@nancycoleman3325]

I have been that Nurse for 37 years.... I have had those patients just like Joe.. But maybe not just her speech , which I found very caring she was setting a dialogue for Alzheimer's and setting a platform that maybe she would have supported if she had won... All of the others set platforms for opera or violins play.... Maybe "The View" should have touched on the many of millions of people some in their field ( Glenn Campbell) who are suffering as well as the family members watching their loved one slip away... To me, you and I are not "Just A Nurse" we are the hands, heart, brains and for some the only family members these people have.. And I am very proud to be a NURSE.. Thank you Nurse Kelley Johnson..You can be my nurse anytime and I would be honored

[@irinosca2007]

My mother was a nurse and her life and dedication to patients taught me all I know and its a huge part of who I am and how I was raised. I'm proud of nurses and I have the utmost respect for their profession. They are the backbone of health services.

[@heathermcconnell1281]

OMG YOU HAD MADE CHILLS ON MY ARMS---as a nurse myself i seen what you were saying and it brought tears to my eyes to know we are NOT just nurses we are humans that care and want the best for others and have such a stressful job and when a patient can turn to you and say something like that it is a connection like no other!!!! thanks for sharing and not sure if you won or not but you deserve to just for the heart of gold you have!!!! you are gorgeous inside and out

[@Theranchhouse1]

this was by far...better than what the others call entertainment...Miss Colorado actually expressed feelings and thoughts without copying popular songs or showing off skills...She came right down to a need that we all will share one day...LOVE...and it showed from her presentation...The women on the 'View" cant relate to working class people....and therefore have to try & demean them or make fun.... I hope the old gal on the View has to publicly apologize for the uncaring remark she made concerning the contestant...this only shows her jealousy and contempt for the contestants...Shame on her.....!

[@santoshjoshi8722]

When she walks into the hospital the patients will start feeling better instantly. But yes Her job as nurse is 24/7 and not easy. The doctor goes away after his daily round but the nurse has to stay till someone comes to relieve her Night shifts are particularly difficult. Frontline workers We salute you. God Bless you.

[@tonyricchiuti9878]

I am a nurse so, it is very well-known to me every word she is saying. Even though I am old and retired, I still work in CCU where I've been for many years. You find yourself as one of my patients, hurting, scared, lonely, and confused, I will do everything I can to make you feel better and even laugh again. Don't have to work. But will. Until my last day on this earth, if able. Love my patients and nursing that much.

[@vanbsu1]

You rock Kelly! We, as nurses, are sometimes forgotten, underpaid and overworked. But moments like that, give us that sense that what I go through each shift does make a difference. We do so quietly, humbly and gratefuly.

[@lauraaslade]

23 thumbs down and several negative posts - how disappointing! Public speaking and engaging with an audience is not easy and so quite rightly this was appropriate for the talent section. She did nurses and patients proud with this monologue.

Thank you all the nurses in the world, you are truly fantastic. I've been in need of you several times in my life and you have always been there for me, you always try to make me feel better and often times you're able to. I have a lot of respect for you and you are my real life heroes.

[@ruthduran3938]

[@Belforhir]

+pupplekao Nope...they were absolutely not... They were mocking her as a person.

[@kaitlyn9934]

This is very true, and really defines what it's like to be a nurse. As a nurse I feel this connection with a lot of people. I'm not a hospital nurse, but I am a rehabilitation and long term care nurse. My difference isn't always about helping my patients get back to a normal life - I am their normal life. It's not about knowing just their health issues and how to treat them, but also about knowing how they like their coffee. It's about knowing their favorite candy, and sneaking them a piece and lending an ear or kind word when they need a little encouragement. It's about knowing their life story, and having a connection with them and their family. It's about being there to listen to the patient that they said would never speak. It's about standing with them through the good and the bad. It's about being there for them and their family when it's time to let go, knowing that you too will need to let go. Nursing isn't simply about healthcare, it's about making a difference, big or small. If I can put a smile on the face of my patient or make them laugh, everything else pales in comparison.

[@florcontitamayo6786]

That was a beautiful speech and testimony. I wish more nurses had her character because there are way to many in the medical field that just see patients as a number. They're not shown to be humane. They are shown to take notes and carry on. I say this from experience because I watched how each nurse cared for my dying aunt with cancer. It was just tap tap here tap tap there, take pages of notes and then leave.
