Thank You, Nurses, From This Therapy Cat

May 10, 2021 By: Summer Samba19 Comments

It's National Nurses Week, and Summer gives a therapy cat thank you to all the hard work that nurses do, for patients and more.

It’s National Nurses Week through May 12, and I think this year especially it’s important to acknowledge the hard work that nurses do.

In addition to caring for patients, and all that involves (conducting physical exams, finding out a patient’s needs, checking vital signs, taking blood, dispensing medication, etc.), nurses have lots of other responsibilities. Among other things, they work with physicians and insurance providers, keep track of patient records, make sure their stations are running smoothly, and keep up on the latest medical advances. Oh, and they also help coordinate whenever the therapy pet team shows up to visit patients. And we therapy pets are there to visit the nurses and other hospital staff too. With all their duties, they need stress relief.

Dr. Bones is grateful for all the things the nursing staff does for his patients and for the hospitals and clinics they work at. And these aren’t the only places you find nurses. You’ll also find them at senior living facilities, schools, pharmacies and even in people’s homes. There are too many nursing specialties for me to even list here.

No matter what stage of life you are in, nurses have made a difference in your life. If you know a nurse personally, please do something to show you are grateful for all that they do. And if you are a nurse yourself, thank you so much! You make a difference every single day. I am so glad you are here.

Are you a nurse, or has one helped you recently? Let me know in the comments.

    My Mom admires nurses and always has. She has worked in two hospitals and seen nurses up close and personal and the job they do is amazing. I have always thought you looked fabulous in your nursing uniform Summer – very professional but cute at the same time!!

    Hugs, Teddy

    Surprise Summer I was a nurse. Worked in the medical field many years. Nurses are very special people. I think you are adorable in your outfit. You remind me a bit of the candy stripers I worked with. Very nice tribute Summer

    You are wearing one of my favorite outfits of yours.
    I did leave a comment here on the 10th – looked back today
    and noticed it missing. It’s been a while since I had problems
    here. I will start checking back more often.

    Nurses also put iv’s in for infusions and see that the right chemo is used. Some even know how to find the veins without butchering the patient aka TW. Thank you to the ones who do it right. OH yeah, nurses also man the portal and answer patients questions about their treatment and side effects. Than you Heidi. TW would rather have you as her nurse.

    Ahhh! I work with many nurses at the nursing home…I am a nurses’ aide…so I get to help those who do the brain work, while we do the footwork as it were:)
    The nurses are terrific and dedicated; and love the residents as much as those who give the direct care.

    I like your uniform, Summer, it reminds me of the candy-striper uniform I wore as a teen! Now we just wear pants and polo shirts, LOL!
