Comment of the week: Why I became a nurse

Hemera | Thinkstock + Scrubs


I was headed to Physical Therapy school when my dad got really sick. While in CICU, he had a male nurse, Mike, who was awesome with my dad. He even cried with us when we had to take Dad off the vent. Mike is the reason I became a nurse. I try to remember how he treated us when I’m around my patients.
