Nurse contributors provide funny,
moving, and inspirational words to complete the sentence:
You’ll know you’re a nurse when…
...You look eye-to-eye with a
disease and see only the woman, man, or child.
...You’re the only one on rounds who knows the name of a
child’s imaginary friend and that the intern is about to sit
on him.
...While attending the local art museum, you
“diagnose” illnesses portrayed in the human
subjects in the paintings.
Share these
moments—humorous, touching, compelling, slightly crazy, and
everything in between.
