I'm Just a Nurse

These are four words nurses should never say. Click on the title above to watch a short video I found on YouTube about nursing.

Whenever I hear nurses say this I believe these individuals have no real understanding of what their roe is in the health care system. I just recently released my book, "Nursing: A Wicked Profession" in e-Book format, and in it I give a brief picture of what the health care system would look like without nurses. No truer comparison can be made than that of our profession being the backbone of every health care system around the globe.

We must take better pride in who we are, adopt a stronger view of our importance and learn to articulate that to governments, media and anyone else who will listen.

We must make them listen.
