Nurses take care of everyone first and themselves last. I have to agree that the urge to quilt must be because we all are always trying to make others feel more comfortable. I admire those who choose be nurses now as the career has changed so much since I started back in the late 60's. And I say hats off to all the male nurses. Some of the best nurses I ever worked with were males.

I am going to embroider them. I think I am going to embroider them around the boarder of the quilt.

Leave "funny" sayings to T-shirts. Quilts are to be a comfort. Use kind sayings. Even we nurses have a tender side. It's true we laugh about human problems, but laughing makes an unpleasant job less personal. Focus on love and caring - that's why we stay in this profession.

I really like the ones from Sherry ! I am a nurse also, but I work in a dialysis unit. Here are some more sayings and some thoughts.
" Where does it hurt? "
" How can I help? "
" I'll let the doctor know."
Love is a verb.
Sometimes anger is fear in disguise.
Nursing is a gentle art.
Care for each patient as if they were your own grandparent.
Hugs are free.

Speaking of those things nurses will talk about even at mealtime-----my dear recently deceased brother used to shake his head and say he could not have been married to a nurse----thought I had done things like---male catheterization that he would not want his wife to do.........My DH loves me anyway!

nurses are angels in comfortable shoes.
Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts. ~Florence Nightingale
Caring is the essence of nursing.
Nurses can take the pressure.
Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription.
When I think about all the patients and their loved ones that I have worked with over the years, I know most of them don't remember me nor I them. But I do know that I gave a little piece of myself to each of them and they to me and those threads make up the beautiful tapestry in my mind that is my career in nursing. ~Donna Wilk Cardillo, A Daybook for Beginning Nurses
