Our OB Nurse Daughter-in-Law Victoria (Vicky) Wagner-Webb put this on her Facebook page.
"About NURSES: Somebody asked: 'You're a nurse?!? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. How much do you make?' The nurse replied: 'HOW MUCH DO I MAKE?' I can make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared. I can make your child breathe when they stop. . . . I can help your father survive a heart attack. I can make myself get up at 5AM to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live. I work all day to save the lives of strangers. I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of. I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure everything I did for your wife today is charted. I make myself work weekends and holidays because people don't just get sick Monday thru Friday. Today I might save your life. How much do I make? All I know is, I make a difference."
Tune in Nurse Vicky. Her posts will make you think.
