I've never been one for cheesy nurse-y things, but I saw this on a friend's facebook and thought it was beautiful. And, to be honest, I cant watch it without tearing up. I related with so much of it, I think I like it because it seems to admits that nursing is not always fun, and it isn't all hardcore like "nurses save your lives every day!" and "nurses keep your doctors from killing you!", as if we had a code every day, etc. I think it represents the part of nursing (which, in my case, is the majority of nursing,) that is comforting, caring, and being with your patients, both when they are adorable and grateful, and when they are smelly, rude, and exhausting. The part of the video where it said "there are days that you will cry going to work, and days you will cry on the way home from work" brought back so many memories. The first couple months of being a nurse were really, really rough for me, and I still have rough nights. I also love the part that says "night shift will eat anything." SO. TRUE. Haha. I love my night-shift. Anyways, hope you enjoy this, whether you are a nurse or not!
