A letter From a Friend It has often seemed to me that nursing is a thankless profession and I would caution a young woman about to enter nursing school to think twice. The work is hard, the discipline rigorous and the financial reward greater elsewhere. How many times do we forget to thank the quietly efficient and thoughtful nurses who care for our patients? Even the most fatuous among us must sometimes feel ashamed for having criticized a nurse for an error or a minor omission, when she has done a thousand things correctly without notice or praise. What is it then, that attracts the young woman to this most arduous of professions? Even a superficial analysis suggests three major motives: First, there is scientific curiosity - the same curiosity that has impelled man to exam- ine and attempt to control his environment and his destiny for ages past. For some of us, the desire to see beyond the frontier of disease into the region of the abnormal, offers a special challenge. The desire to make one's mark in this world - to do something of importance - where rendering good service to one's fellow creature is considered to be of great importance - constitutes a second motive. Finally, and most difficult to define, is a spirit of adventure, common to most of us, that first allows us to overcome revulsion and fear and enter the dissecting room and the operating theater. The nurse's ability to remain calm and function efficiently in those dark and fearful areas where life begins and ends, sets her apart from the multitude. What she sees and experiences, makes her forever different, These qualities that the nurse brings to her profession, compounded with the vigilance and awareness that must come with hard experience in caring for patients, make her a very special person. She is the eyes and ears of the physician in his absence, We all owe you a debt of gratitude. As one physician who nightly leaves his patients to the care of the faithful nurses and returns in the morning to find them safe, allow me to borrow a phrase which often appears in the nurse's notes, and describes my condition as: Slept well. No complaints. Thank you, I l'd4V I,l1D
