Many Roles - One Profession: A Thanks to Our Nurses
The detective who gathers information vital to your health
Regardless of your origin, your skin tone or your wealth;
The guardian who observes your movements, temperature and hue;
The teacher showing family how to help take care of you;
The administrator following orders and procedures as required,
But goes a few steps further to achieve what you desire;
The clerk documenting your care for others to refer;
The waitperson making sure your food is served as you prefer;
The valet who fluffs your pillow and helps you change your clothes;
The caring human to whom you trust thoughts and feelings you disclose:
These people are all involved in your total healthcare plan.
They are all essential to make you well as quickly as they can.
The many roles are tended to when you are at your worst;
And wrapped into one profession chosen by your nurse.
