Sweeter Than Splenda
Nurses have inspired many artists to greatness. A wonderful gift for a nursing school graduate might be a print of the iconic Nikolai Alexandrovich Yaroshenko painting “A Nurse,” circa 1886.

Shower kindness on those ill;
Ease their pain and heart’s anguish;
Make their beds and give their pill.
