Wow… amazing info! I was particularly intrigued by the bit about paid nursing having been a predominantly male profession up until a hundred years ago… never heard about that in nursing school, but they did show us a film in which a woman stated that nursing had been, and always will be, women’s work. I found that a tad sexist, but oh well.

So, so true-nursing takes a toll on the body-patients are more heavy than farm animals and are in need of more care-no one tells a young nurse the toll that will be required if one stays in nursing-it will be great as well as the satisfaction of doing a job well done. It has been worth it but at a tremendous cost-more nurses are needed

I would LOVE to purchase this as a poster to hang in our breakroom, just to put things into perspective. Any chances it will be produced in that format?

Thank you for finally including LPN’s as nurses. LPN’s are always pushed aside even though we do as much as RN’s may do. I have been a LPN for 33yrs and have some brutal comments made to me about LPN’s such as “oh, you’re not a REAL nurse”. Your poster and site is awsome.

I have been an RN for 31 years. I am very proud of the work I do. The work is very difficult at times – last week I was verbally accosted and threatened by a patient’s family. This is not the first or the last time.

We need more nurses. This is a good way to start getting the word out. But, our nursing school in town has a huge waiting list. Many people do everything to qualify, then are turned down year after year. We need more educators and larger schools if we are to increase the number of nurses in this country.

Please correct the grammar in your end statement – it should be “dying because there ARE not enough nurses…”

Thanks,
Joan RN

Thanks and
