From nurses, to nurses

“The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe.”

Florence Nightingale

Some shifts end with you crying in your car because it all catches up at once. That is allowed. Just say out loud, to someone you trust, that it was a bad one.
