Somebody asked: "You're a Nurse? How much do you make?"
I 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 stay up all night to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live...
I work all day to save the lives of strangers...
I will drop everything and help in a code blue for hours trying to keep you alive!!!
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 that everything we did for your wife today was correct...
I work weekends and holidays and all through the night because people don't just get sick Sunday through Thursday and during normal working hours.
Today, I might save your life.
How much do I make? All I know is, I MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
