Thank You, Nurses | Natalie Vaughn

During their time in the hospital delivering their baby girl, Natalie recalled one nurse who managed to do what she thought couldn’t be done.

It’s often someone you meet by chance that makes the difference you didn’t know you needed. These moments bring wonderful opportunities to reflect on why we are thankful for nurses and how they make a difference.

When a person or a member of their family needs nursing care, feelings of stress, worry, and uncertainty set in. We feel vulnerable and afraid — for ourselves and for those who matter most to us. While we often prioritize the physical, medical care that we or our loved ones are receiving, we can underestimate the importance of the emotional support from our caregivers.

Here, we share personal Thank You, Nurses stories and videos as a gesture of gratitude for everything you and your colleagues do. This small token of appreciation is just one reminder of how your kindness in a single 12-hour shift can be felt for a lifetime.
