We've all had experiences of our own experience with nurses, some good, some bad. For me, I have had my fair share, especially in the past 3 years. In honor of Nurse Day, I wanted to let nurses know how much you are appreciated. Nurse's have a unique job of helping us, the patients, at many different levels of our personal health journey. As a result of my experiences, I have learned to never underestimate the power and impact of having a compassionate, empathetic, and kind nurse. Whether you are a nurse in the physician's clinic, inpatient at a hospital, scurrying around the Emergency Department, or a part of my medical team as a Home Health nurse, you are an essential part of my #patientexperience. The past 3 years have been difficult for me. Learning to live with my health issues and life style changes would be impossible without the wonderful nurses that I have met along the way. So what makes a wonderful nurse? To me, having a nurse that listens, respects, and sees me as a person instead of a case is very important. When embarrassing events occur, they do not make me feel any worse than I already am. Some of my most memorable nurses, in various settings, have thoroughly explained procedures and treatments that I was about to face. If they were unfamiliar with the procedure, treatment, or even my diagnosis they asked questions and sometimes even completed their own research. Excellent nurses listen to my ailments and concerns, without judging. Sometimes they may ask questions or even offer suggestions that the physician and I may not have thought about or considered. Caring nurses have assisted me by relaying important messages to my physician, helping advocate for my health needs with my doctor and insurance company, and even calming me when fears and symptoms are heightened. Thank you nurses for all that you do, day in and day out, to help patients receive the best possible healthcare. I admire you for all that you endure. You honestly make a difference in the lives of so many! Nurses can be a true lifesaver! Hope you enjoy the video from ZDoggMD!
