My Value as a Nurse

Is my value as a nurse weighed really by my skill, or by my comfort and care to a family who trusts me with their child??


A few weeks ago, I pondered a question about my worth as a nurse...
whether it is measured by skill...
by earning power...
Well, it is measured by heart most of all ive concluded. 
When you give your best to care for someones child,
 only doing what comes as a natural part of caring, 
and from your heart,
 not expecting anything in return...
and a mother tells you she wants to thank you 
for that tender care you share and give to her child...
well...
that to me is what measures my worth as a nurse.
 I really cant say there is a more heartwarming feeling... :-)
