How Much do Nurses Make?

Somebody asked: "You're a nurse?!? That's cool; I wanted to do that when I was a kid. How much do you make?"

The nurse replied: "HOW MUCH DO I MAKE?”...

 I can make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared...

I can make your child breathe when they stop..

I can help your father survive a heart attack..

I can make myself get up at 5AM to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live...

I work all day to save the lives of strangers...

I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of...

I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your wife today is charted.

I make myself work weekends and holidays because people don't just get sick Monday thru Friday.

Today, I might save your life.

How much do I make?

All I know is, I make a difference.
