I love nursing!

3 I've been a member on this forum for some time now, and is see so many negative threads. If I were new to this profession, or just starting to think about becoming a nurse, alot of what is on here would scare me.

Now I know that this is a place where we can vent our frustrations with our jobs, coworkers and whatever, but today is a day of thanks, so I want to start a thread where we talk only about the positives of nursing. Tell us why you love nursing. What makes your day?

I love my job! I think I have the best job in the world. Yes, I get frustrated and not every day is rainbows and unicorns, but I don't think I could do anything else. There is nothing better than knowing I made someone's day just a little bit better during a bleak time in their life. Or better yet, knowing I helped saved someone's life and they didn't even know they were dying.

Today I give thanks to for all my sisters and brothers who go to work everyday to help make someone else's day just a little bit better.
I'm thankful I'm a Registered Nurse. I have a job and work in a unit that I enjoy and look forward to going to. I've had my more challenging days but they've only made me a better nurse. I'm blessed with a career that is always growing and cultivating the continuous intake if knowledge if its constituents. I have the opportunity to be a gray decision maker, but also a to be an even greater team player. Im thankful to be a part of a profession with such deep roots on history. Someone on said that "it is incredibly difficult to find someone whose life hasn't been touched by some form of nurse.." I get to teach people, heal people, and advocate for people and I have the option to go further both clinically, academically, and administratively. I get to sit down and laugh and talk with my patients on a regular basis. Being a nurse makes me feel like a superhero. I doubt even superman is great and proud as those in our noble profession. I am truly thankful for the blessing and the honor of being a nurse!

I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said. I love being a nurse and couldn't see myself doing anything else. Even on the worst days, I know I've made some sort of difference in someone's day and their health outcome.

There are more good days than bad days. It gets tiring and frustrating and downright crazy at times, but at the end of the day, you made a difference.
