Working as a nurse in the ICU, I cared for many patients who are burned into my mind and heart forever.  I would like to share with you the stories of two patients that I will remember forever and whom shaped my life and nursing career forever.  People NEVER forget their nurses.  The rest of their hospital stay will be a blur, but their NURSES will be in their minds forever.  It's okay to CARE as a nurse. We went into this profession because we want to ease human suffering. We need more nurses who CARE. Thank you for choosing this profession. I started NURSING.com to reduce your stress in nursing school, so you can focus on the patients. Happy Nursing! -Jon
