My thoughts as an EMT, almost a nurse and friend to many many retired nurses:

You are amazing and do a job that no other profession can or does do. You keep so many important facts straight in Your Head that people lives are saved every minute of every day by virtue of your knowledge and skill.

I love and respect the profession and each of you as individuals that has ever treated me, one of my peeps or any one else kindly, competently and compassionately.

I cannot thank you enough. Or pay you enough. Or give you enough good shoes for y our feet.

how about you are already working your tail off, stretched to your mental and physical limit, and then are asked to do more. that, and the monthly staff meetings where we are told to wash our hands and be nice to people.
