Quote
As nurses, the work we do is so important whether we are caring for the healthy or the most critically ill, in the classroom, as a leader, or at the bedside. We don't always realize the difference that our care makes. I am reminded of a quote from Mother Teresa, "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." It is a blessing to be in a profession charged with excellence in health care and making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
