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.

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.
