Not Just A Nurse
<p>People think nursing is just about injections and hospital beds.</p><p>They see the uniform</p><p>the smile</p><p>the calm voice</p><p>But they don’t see the weight we carry behind it.</p><p>While others diagnose,</p><p>we stay.</p><p>We are the ones who don’t just visit the patient,</p><p>we live beside them in their hardest hours.</p><p>We notice the small changes before machines do.</p><p>The restlessness.</p><p>The silence.</p><p>The pain they are trying to be “strong” about.</p><p>We clean wounds.</p><p>We clean tears.</p><p>Sometimes, we clean both at the same time.</p><p>We are called when the pain is too much.</p><p>When the fear is too loud.</p><p>When the family needs someone to explain what the doctor said in a language the heart understands.</p><p><br/></p><p>People say, “It’s just a nurse.”</p><p>But that “just” nurse is the one who hasn’t sat down for six hours.</p><p>The one who hasn’t eaten but is reminding someone else to eat.</p><p>The one who goes home carrying faces they can’t forget.</p><p>We hold hands during injections.</p><p>We whisper encouragement before surgeries.</p><p>We celebrate small improvements like miracles.</p><p>And sometimes…</p><p>We are the last voice a patient hears.</p><p>The last hand they feel.</p><p>The last comfort before goodbye.</p><p>We are not “helpers” in healthcare.</p><p>We are the bridge between medicine and humanity.</p><p><br/></p><p>The science is important.</p><p>But the care?</p><p>That’s nursing.</p><p>So no, we are not at the “bottom.”</p><p>We are at the bedside.</p><p>Where life fights its hardest battles.</p><p>Proudly.</p><p>Strongly.</p><p>Compassionately.</p><p>Fearlessly.....THE HANDS THAT NEVER LET GO</p>
