Over the years, we have welcomed nurses into our
family. Community and long-term care nurses are a special
breed. They understand teamwork with family and how
to make clinical nursing seem like normal home life. Nicholas has had many, many hospitalizations
and we became good friends with our inpatient nurses as well. Our favourites would
sing Polish folk songs, help us play tricks on the doctors, give us hugs and
make us laugh when we were tired or afraid. For families like mine, our nurses
are angels from heaven.
Happy Nurses Week to all the nurses who have helped take
care of our Nick, both in hospital, at home and now at his residence. Thank
you!
Nurses sometimes take time off to have babies but they always come back to work and to visit! (Thank you!)
And even when they move away, they come back to visit.
In community and long-term care, nurses become friends of the whole family. We trust in their clinical skills and in their true affection for our son. That combination of knowledge, training, collaboration and love is what makes our nurses so very special. Thank you, everyone!
