How Much do Nurses Make?
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
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.
