Nursing is a profession of nobility. But many nurses do not act as nobles.

It’s time nurses began to place a high value on themselves and truly begin to see themselves as leaders wherever they are.

Greatness

You can be anything you want to be as long as you trust God and follow process.

Your job as a nurse is not a limitation but a springboard for success.

You can’t imagine how much greatness you can experience because you are a nurse.

Saving lives every day shows you are great and you can be more.

Smiling at your patients every day shows you are great and you can be more.

Teaching and educating your patients are a pointer to the fact that a lot of golden greatness lies in you.

Do not give up on yourself.

Failure

Don’t let failure at anything stop you.

Every one of us failed woefully at some things before we finally gained insight, knowledge and competence.

Remember the first time you gave an injection, the first time you checked someone’s blood sugar, the first time you carried out CPR. 

I will never forget the first time I took a delivery independently. I was ecstatic.

So,

Failure is a sign that you tried already. 

Failure is a sign that you can be better.

You can only get better every day. 

Do not give up on yourself.

Persistence

Persist at being your best always.

I know this may be really hard and sometimes, I also fail too.

But the golden message is, “do not relent”.

Give that new dream a better shot.

Write that exam again.

Share love again. 

Be persistent in being a lovely nurse.

Be persistent in being an amazing support system.

Be persistent in being the patient’s advocate.

Be persistent at being the one everyone depends on.

Don’t let the pressure get to you.

Team-work

You put in your best to work peacefully with everyone. You bring laughter and relaxation to every setting. Everyone is excited to have you around and work with you. It’s so amazing that you are that team player that must always show-up. Every other health professional looks to you for balance. You are that awesome middleman.

You are that powerful. 

Never forget this. For when no one needs you around is when you will lose your special place. 

Royalty.

Yes, you are Royalty.

You lift your head high and no one can stop you. You see your job as a calling, and one in which God will hold you accountable.

Your white color signifies royalty and the white workspaces signify that your dwelling place is also royal. Your royal touch sends kind messages to your patients and some simply recover because you did your job.

You are part of the success story of the sick or dying. Yes, you are royal and have a special place in the heart of your patients.
