<\/p>\nWhen it comes to saving lives, doctors play the most important role.<\/p>\n
No one talks about nurses, assistants, paramedics, or anesthetists afterward. Most people overlook their significance.After her encounter with a former high school classmate, nurse Caitilin Brassington decided to write a letter:
\n\u201cI 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. I ran into a former high school classmate who said to me\u201d:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know you were just a nurse\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
In 18 years of my career, I\u2019ve heard this phrase many times, but today it seemed to irritate me more than usual\u2026 Was that all I was? JUST a nurse?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve helped bring many children into the world, but I\u2019m just a nurse; I\u2019ve held the hands of the dying as they took their last breaths, but I\u2019m just a nurse;<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve revived patients who were clinically dead for seconds and helped them come back to life, but I\u2019m just<\/p>\n
a nurse; I\u2019ve held parents in my arms after they\u2019ve seen their children pass away, but I\u2019m just a nurse; I can draw blood, tend to wounds, but I\u2019m just a nurse;<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll miss Christmas days, my children\u2019s birthdays, their school events to come to work and care for your<\/p>\n
loved ones, but I\u2019m just a nurse; I can resuscitate a newborn, a child, or an adult, but I\u2019m just a nurse.<\/p>\n
I have the experience and knowledge to save lives, and even though I\u2019m just a nurse, I take pride in that!\u201d<\/p>\n
