Concerro is collecting your nurses' stories to be published in a collection. Why did you become a nurse? What was your best nursing experience? Who was your most memorable patient? Why do you continue to work as hard as you do? When did you first realize that nursing was your purpose?
Everyone has their own story. We want to hear yours! It doesn't have to be very long, just a few sentences you'd like to share with others.
"I knew at six years old that I wanted to be a nurse. I was getting my vaccinations before entering the first grade. I had been taught that it was better to give than receive, which in this case was something I could definitely support. However, the feeling of wanting to be a nurse never left me even after the sting of those vaccinations. I have been a nurse now for 28 years and I still cry when a baby is born. I am honored each time a patient or their family trusts me to be their nurse. I tell new graduating nurses to choose to make a difference not to choose to make money. It is a privelege to be called a nurse. A title I have never regretted and I hold close to my heart."Ernie Glover, RN, Nurse Manager, Heritage Hospital
