Our Amazing Nurses
Thank you to our nurses at Beacon Health System for all that you do for patients and their families. The amazing work of our nurses is the lifeblood that helps promote and sustain the healing process. National Nurses Week is May 6 -12.
In the words of one nurse, “Every day we come to work, we make a difference in the lives of those we touch. Nurses who take the time to hold and love the child whose parents can’t visit. Nurses who throw parties for patients on their birthdays or a patient’s last day of chemotherapy. Nurses who help a mother crawl into a bed so she can hold her child as he takes his last breath. What we do isn’t easy, but I don’t think there is one of us who question why it is we choose to be nurses.”
