Is there Hope?
Written: Jul 07 '01
Pros:IN DEMAND, Flexibility, Respect, Meaningful and Rewarding
Cons:High Standards, Takes Determination and Creativity
The Bottom Line: I love the flexibility and independence available to nurses. Nursing provides so many options. You get out of nursing whatever you are willing to put into it.
I am a registered nurse with a BSN. For the past three years I have worked for an independent elementary school. Upon graduation, several years ago, I spent a few years as a hospital floor nurse. It is true that nurses are notoriously under appreciated. However, we (nurses and patients) must not settle for second best. I demand respect with my professionalism, my consistency in practicing the standards of care, and by valuing each patient and family with respect. I take one day at a time, and I am rewarded and enriched by each experience and interaction.

There is always hope. I have hope for the nursing profession. I am one person, and I know that I have made a difference to many.
