What a lovely thing it is when people decide to take the time to recognize and express appreciation for the efforts of others! If everyone was as full of gratitude as that young father, I think the world would be a bit nicer!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470155768211892164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-88301807551289083862008-12-12T08:49:00.000-05:002008-12-12T08:49:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing this letter.

They are there throughout many of life's most memorable (not always pleasant) moments and are there at the side of our dying patients providing vital end-of-life care. Nursing is no spectator sport. We are in the thick of the real service of health care each and every day. <BR/>If you haven't done so lately; Take a look around you. There is probably at least one nurse that you could thank today. Your recognition could be the catalyst that re-ignites her passion for the profession.Kristin Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444234434061270576noreply@blogger.com
