Nurses do an amazing job. Still, there are people who underestimate their profession. These people usually think that doctors are the only heroes in the health professions, and will not appreciate the hard work that nurses do.

But the hard work of the nurses do is far from meaningless.

Sometime not long ago, nurse Caitlin Bressington met an acquaintance at her local grocery store. She had just finished her shift and was still wearing her nurse’s clothes.

Her friend told her she was surprised to see that she was ‘just a nurse’. And the word ‘just’ struck Caitlin deeply…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

When she got home and had time to think, Caitlin decided to write her friend a letter of response – through a Facebook post.

Caitlin’s post received tens of thousands of likes and was shared thousands of times – and after reading it I understood why.

‘Just a nurse’. I just got home after a busy shift, looking pretty normal in my nurse’s clothes. On my way home today I stopped at a store to buy milk and met an acquaintance. She never saw me in uniform and said she did not know I was ‘Just a nurse’. Wow! Over the 18 years of my career I have heard this phrase many
times, but today it has affected me. Am I just a nurse?

I have helped babies into the world, many of whom needed assistance to take their first breath, and yet I am just a nurse.

I have held patients’ hands and ensured their dignity while they take their last breath, and yet I am just a nurse.

I have counselled grieving parents after the loss of a child, and yet I am just a nurse.

I have performed CPR on patients and brought them back to life, and yet I am just a nurse.

I am the medical officer’s eyes, ears and hands with the ability to assess, treat and manage your illness, and yet I am just a nurse.

I can auscultate every lung field on a newborn and assess which field may have a decreased air entry, and yet I am just a nurse.

I can educate patients, carers, junior nurses and junior doctors on disease states, prognoses and treatment plans, and yet I am just a nurse. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

I have been a lecturer in a school of medicine, teaching medical students how to perform a systematic physical examination of a patient, and yet I am just a nurse.

I am my patients’ advocate in a health system that does not always put my patients’ best interest first, and yet I am just a nurse.

I will miss Christmas Days, my children’s birthdays and school musicals to come to work to care for your loved one, and yet I am just a nurse.

I can take blood, cannulate and suture a wound, and yet I am just a nurse.

I understand the anatomical, physiological, and psychological differences in every age group of children, and the relevance this has on how we care for them and treat them, and yet I am just a nurse.

I can manage a cardiac arrest in a newborn, a child or an adult, and yet I am just a nurse.

I can tell you the dosage of adrenaline or amiodarone based on weight that your child may need to bring them back to life, and yet I am just a nurse.

I provide comfort, compassion, emotional and social support to patients and their families in their darkest times, and yet I am just a nurse.

I have worked 12-hour shifts without a toilet break or a cup of coffee, to ensure that the best possible care is given to my patient, and yet I am just a nurse.

I have been screamed at, vomited on and urinated on, but I will still come to work and do my job, and yet I am just a nurse.

I have the experience, knowledge and competence that has saved and will continue to save people’s lives, and yet I am just a nurse.

So yes, lovely acquaintance in the corner store, if I am “just a nurse”, then I am ridiculously proud to be one!

President-elect Donald Trump shared a message on Christmas Day on his Truth Social platform, where he took aim at his political opponents and mocked leaders from other countries.

Trump began by addressing the “wonderful soldiers of China,” accusing them of operating illegally in the Panama Canal while the United States spends billions of dollars on repairs. He also reminded his followers that the U.S. had lost 38,000 people in the construction of the canal over 100 years ago. Earlier in the month, Trump had mentioned that the…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Donald Trump Tried To Kill Me Once, Retiring Dem Congresswoman Fire a Disgraceful Shot at Trump in New Statements –

Retiring Rep. Annie Kuster (D-NH) fired some parting shots at President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, and those of her colleagues who “just stay” in Congress “forever” in an exit interview with The Boston Globe.

From the Globe:

As Representative Annie M. Kuster leaves Congress, the New Hampshire
Democrat is hoping some of her colleagues might be inspired to do the same — and wishes President Biden had earlier, as well.

Kuster, 68, said her decision to retire was based on many factors, including Donald Trump’s approaching return to the presidency, but she hopes it will also encourage Democrats to make room for younger generations in the halls of power…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

“I’m trying to set a better example,” Kuster told the Globe. “I think there are colleagues — and some of whom are still very successful and very productive — but others who just stay forever.”

And as for a role in a new Trump-led Washington, she said: “I’m just not the best gladiator for it right now.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Kuster said that Trump’s role in inspiring the January 6 Capitol riot — and her experience during it — was among the factors in her decision to step aside.

“I’ve said somewhat facetiously, he tried to kill me once, I’m not available for that again,” she told the Globe. “What we went through on Jan. 6 and his attempt to overthrow the government took a toll. That was that was really hard, and not just personally, but on my ability to work across the aisle.”

But Kuster didn’t reserve her criticism to Trump. She also said that she knew Biden might lose to Trump when he struggled through an appearance on the campaign trail alongside her earlier this year.

“Just in my heart, [I] reached the conclusion that this would be a very challenging campaign for him, and to put himself out there for another four-year term was was going to be a struggle,” observed Kuster, who admitted that Biden’s “team may have” worked to conceal his decline

She went on to liken a conversation with Biden after his disastrous debate performance in June to her conversations with her “own parents about, you know, their aging and their limitations.”
