All is the nurses that took care if my mom and my FIL were absolutely the best people. They have an extremely difficult job.

RN here. Yes, we work hard and thank you for all your good thoughts. However, I would like to thank all the aides, resp. techs, housekeepers, dietary workers, and ANYONE that works hard to take care of patients. They all deserve a big thank you, and they often never get one. It's not just nurses-it's a team effort to make someone better.

Belated happy nurses' week! There was a nice shout out to nurses in the Health forum too (last week I think).

I couldn't agree more, thanks for all you do! Thanks to all for all you do!

Selfishly, I would like to include EMS workers in this. My son works long hours for low pay, and some people would never make it to the ED to see a nurse were they not doing their jobs in the field, often under the worst conditions.

I believe that anyone who works to save a life or make someone's life better, deserve their spots in heaven.

Thank you all again!

In my experience nursing school was a piece of cake in comparison to working - 3 shifts or 2 -12 hour shifts, weekends, holidays. I worked for a while in a unit where we had to work 8 day runs every week , work 8 and get 2 off then work 8 days and get 2 off then work 8 and (finally) get 4 off. By the time you got to your days off you were so tired all you did was sleep. I transferred off that unit ASAP.
