If anybody knows just how much there is to be thankful for, it’s a nurse.

We asked the folks on the Funny Nurses Facebook page to fill us in on the things they’re feeling pretty darn grateful for in 2015, and their responses made us feel all the feelings.

“I am thankful that nursing school will finally be done on December 8th when I get my RN pin!” —Heather A.

“To finally be out of nursing school with ‘RN’ behind my name!” —Bethany T.

“Chocolate. That’s it, just chocolate.” —Chris H.

“Thankful for those who respect nurses…” —Yinfen H.
