The Nightingale Tribute Reading

Nursing is a calling, a lifestyle, a way of living. We honor our colleagues who are no longer with us, and we honor their life as a nurse. 

They are not remembered by their years as a nurse, but by the difference they made during those years by stepping into people’s lives, by special moments.

They Were There

When a calming, quiet presence was all that was needed, they were there.

In the excitement and miracle of birth or in the mystery and loss of life, they were there.

When a silent glance could uplift a patient, family member of friend, they were there.

At those times when the unexplainable needed to be explained, they were there.

When the situation demanded a swift foot and sharp mind, they were there.

When a gentle touch, a firm push, or an encouraging word was needed, they were there.

In choosing the best one from a family’s “Thank You” box of chocolates, they were there.

To witness humanity, — its beauty, in good times and bad, without judgment, they were there.

To embrace the woes of the world, willingly, and offer hope, they were there.

And now, that it is time to be at the Greater One’s side, they are there.
