Boy, you have been thru the wringer this last week!! Glad you are feeling better. I had some pretty great nurses during my time in the chemo ward a couple years ago and some not very good ones in the hospital after my mastectomy. Glad I was there only one night and home the next day. Hope you recover fully!!

I am glad you are recovering and will be home soon. As for nurses, we come in all sizes, colors, ages and hopefully all dedicated to care and education for those we serve. I could have chosen another profession that paid so much more, and of course, had better hours, but that was not where my heart wanted me to go. After 47 years, I would chose nursing all over again, without pause or question. There truly is no greater honor than to serve others. Thankful you got the care you needed, and from here on life will have beautiful blessings for you.

Nurses are in the trenches of health care. Not many other professions work so hard and put in such long hours to serve others. And let me tell you, I have no use for those who put down our health care. May it survive all the current turmoil. We'll need it.

8 yrs ago, when I was 65 yrs old, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I'd never been sick before and never in a hospital. Well --- I spent lots of time in and out of the same hospital and was amazed that I received the best care from the nurses, doctors and staff. I couldn't believe how hard the nurses worked --- rushing around at all hours of the day and night. I then went for chemo treatments and - again - everyone was so kind and supportive. Right now I'm renting out a room for a few weeks - to a travel nurse - who arrived a few days ago from South Carolina. Her hours in the emergency room are 7AM to 7PM 3 days a week. I live in southern California - and the hospital is 5 minutes away.

I continue to be blown away with nurses that my husband and I encounter (at least) since January 2013 while we're curing him of his cancers. Their doctors should be praising them as well. I believe nurses work as hard as the doctors if not more so but in different ways that our doctors. Nurses are like HUGE periods at the end of the doctors' sentences. They pick up where the docs' leave off.

WE LOVE OUR NURSES - if it were not for them, I honestly do not know what we'd do without them!!!!

THANK YOU TO ALL who dedicate their lives to ALL OF US!

This is a great thread! I wish good health to all of you and add my thanks to nurses too. They have a hard job and are under appreciated by most people imho.

Well, Annabelle here. I am glad you are feeling better and will be going home soon. Also, I have 2 sisters who are RN's and 2 Nieces who are RN's, so on their behalf I'll say thank you and I totally agree with you.

My daughter recently had surgery. She was treated with respect and the utmost care.
