Nursing and Michelangelo

You sound like a caring nurse. I like the way you remember to place importance on even the most mundane-seeming tasks. I would like to have you as a nurse for myself or a loved one.

What a wonderful article -

What you have posted is they way nurses should think, thank goodness for nurses like you and me. Spread the love

:-) I love this. Totally unlike the culture of rough and tough nursing I read daily here.

'Nursing is an art and a science'. So very true

Awesome interpretation of the work that we do.

Not being negative Nancy but I throw in different perspective than others. When I saw the question what exactly is nursing, I immediately thought "ant work". When we see an abnormal lab result, I don't think we are seeing a piece of rock that Angelo could use to carve into a masterpiece. It's a problem that needs fixing, which requires more of my time and labor, and that's that. A demented pt on drips in er trying to take out her iv, "Jesus Christ restraints and q1hr charting great!" I can't really think how art and nursing can be any related, again please be noted I'm not attacking you, but nursing is not very graceful, or majestic, or artistic at all. It's just tough work for tough people.

I am so glad you said this. I love thinking of my job as an art. When I stop realize that I am being creative, it makes the mundane tasks a lot more fun!
