As nurses, we get caught up in the drawbacks of the holidays. Our job doesn’t really change just because there are three major holidays back to back. The hospital doesn’t have holiday hours. Illness and injury don’t take a holiday. The unwell still need attention, and we have a job to do. 10 things nurses can be thankful for this holiday season. 1. Your health: Did you wake up today? Congrats, you get another chance. You’re still here. 2. Your education: Many will never get the chance to increase their knowledge. You are unique. 3. Your age: Enjoy your years. Many never make it this far. 4. Your friends: It’s not the number, but the quality. Loneliness can be debilitating. 5. Your family: No matter how diverse and disconnected they may be, some don’t get that chance. 6. Your job: Think about this economy. Many would love to have your “horrible” job. 7. Your colleagues: Sure, they aren’t all the cat’s meow, but many would love the chance to have that problem. 8. Your profession: There is a level of fear you do not possess because you are a nurse. How scary is sickness? 9. Professional opportunities: You’re not stuck. You have choices. You have options. All at very little cost or effort. 10. Respect: As a nurse, your opinion matters. Your words are heard. Whether you believe it or not.
