International Nurses Day

[tom73]

Today is International Nurses Day if you see one give them a wave and be nice to them.
Yes a few are bad ones as in any job but most are just trying to do the job with what they have.
What ever faults they may have even though they jab you and prod you sometimes given the current situation we'd be a lot worse off without them.
They are not super heroes or soldiers on the front line but highly trained professionals who are going a job.
But to them it's a lot more it's who they are going what ever it takes to fix you , care for you, and be with you holding your hand when it's time to say goodbye.

Thanks Tom for the recognition of Nurse's Day. I am a life-long nurse and cyclist, we are mostly ordinary people who sometimes get to do extraordinary things.

Hope she was now of the nice ones and not like some who expect staff to magic up beds.

I was once nice to a nurse. Very nice to her. Nearly 30 years on my legs are still a little shaky!

Or free up beds when the patient isn’t ready or well enough to be moved or discharged.
Ms is an A&E nurse.

Late mum was a nurse. I've had many weeks of diligent care from them, mainly following a couple of RTAs.

Spoiler: Possibly provocative answer

Can I celebrate Nurses Day without being branded a hypocritical tory voter?
