In searching for a way to say Thank you to all of our outstanding Westways nurses, I came across this poem, which I think says it all very well. May you and your loved ones have a wonderful holiday season. Thank you. – Donna Couturié, Director of Clinical Operations
Nurse’s Poem: A Nurse Is More – Written by Richard G. Shuster
A Nurse Is More, Why?
Though nobody can say why for sure,
Nurse’s desire for service is pure.
Not for themselves, it has to be for others.
A life dedicated to their sisters and brothers.
A Nurse Is More, How?
Through reserves of strength, care, and love,
Nurses take their lead from the power above.
Above and beyond, their duty comes first.
Their patient’s needs paramount, before even hunger and thirst.
A Nurse Is More, When?
When we need them the most, at our times of ill,
Nurses come through, with their care and goodwill.
When we feel we can’t go on, and wish to give up the ghost,
That’s when our Nurses give it their most.
A Nurse Is More, Where?
In the hospital, the battlefield, the clinic, and hospice,
Nurses are there, in the ER, the OR, the workplace, and medical office.
Where we are to go for our care, thankfully we find Nurses there.
Aging, sick, fearful, weary, we turn to Nurses and know they care.
A Nurse Is More,
A Nurse Is More, much more than all we’ve said, or all we can say,
Other than to acknowledge the Nurses who brighten our day.
In gratitude, we thank Nurses, their willingness to serve, we find so
Appealing, bringing to us, their comfort, wisdom, compassion and healing.
