Happy Nurses Week!
I love my job.
I love that it makes a difference in people's lives, even if it doesn't seem like it all the time.
This week, the Canadian Nurses Association is celebrating Nurses Week!
I often have people tell me they would never in a million years want my job. Usually it's when I'm cleaning up poop.
The thing is, poop is poop. Everybody poops.
Also, cleaning up poop is really just a small part of what a nurse does.
Being a nurse means so much more than that.
Actually, one of my absolute favourite things to do for my patients is give them a warm blanket. I love hearing their reaction when I do.
How simple is that? Just giving someone a warm blanket can change their day. Providing comfort for someone who needs it. It's a great feeling.
So, I just wanted to take a couple of minutes and write a short post to say Happy Nurses Week to all my fellow nurses! If you're not a nurse, take the time to thank one for all they do. It makes our day ;)

Happy Nurse's Week!!! Our's here in the US was last week--didn't realize you were in Canada! I'm also an RN--and it's the best job in the world--even with the poop:)
