“People ask me what I remember about being inpatient as long as I was, and while the complications, transfusions, and procedures are things I won’t forget, what I really remember are the nurses sitting in my room and simply talking with me, or asking me about my friends and my basketball team. Nobody else wanted to talk about that, and they made me feel at home in an environment that was anything but. Nurses have a way with their patients in which they make them feel safe. I was the type of patient to ask countless questions about the medicine, procedures, and other nursing interventions just because I was curious. The nurses smiled and answered them all patiently. I sat in that hospital bed, extremely sick and facing a long road to recovery, and I told myself I was going to be a nurse one day.”
