What is a Nurse?

Most nurses pray before they go on duty, because they don't know what to expect. Even though they have years of experience in the ICU, Emergency Room, Operating Room etc., there's always that feeling of anxiety, the fear of the unknown. It's the kind of profession that wouldn't accept any room for error. It's a profession wherein perfection is expected or else you'll expect the worst. It's a profession wherein you should have that adrenaline rush of initiative in order to save lives even without any doctors around. It's the kind of profession wherein you should stand for your right even if others think you are wrong. That is a nurse, and that is me.
