I was heading home after a tough shift, but even though I was in uniform, I decided to go into the supermarket to do some shopping.

In 18 years of my career, I’ve heard this phrase many times, but today it seemed to irritate me more than usual… Was that all I was? JUST a nurse?

I’ve helped bring many children into the world, but I’m just a nurse; I’ve held the hands of the dying as they took their last breaths, but I’m just a nurse;

I’ve revived patients who were clinically dead for seconds and helped them come back to life, but I’m just

a nurse; I’ve held parents in my arms after they’ve seen their children pass away, but I’m just a nurse; I can draw blood, tend to wounds, but I’m just a nurse;

I’ll miss Christmas days, my children’s birthdays, their school events to come to work and care for your

loved ones, but I’m just a nurse; I can resuscitate a newborn, a child, or an adult, but I’m just a nurse.

I have the experience and knowledge to save lives, and even though I’m just a nurse, I take pride in that!”
