We have lived parallel lives and I can endorse your entire essay on the qualities of nurses in every hospital I have worked.

We’re lucky to have ED docs like you! It’s been an honor!

The hospice nurses I worked with did all the caregiving you describe and jumped in their cars at 3am when the snow was falling to get to patients in need. It was breathtaking.

Thank you! Never have worked with you since I am half the country away, but I think we would have gotten along fabulously. Having the support of our physician teammates is half the battle. Glad I found your little space here on the ‘net.

As a fellow doc, I agree and applaud your thoughts about nurses. Clearly co- workers who enhance quality patient care.
