Today marks the beginning of "Nurses Week", a celebration of our nursing profession. The national theme for this year is Nurses: Many Roles, One Profession.
As we continue to celebrate our twenty-fifth anniversary as a professional nursing organization, I offer our VA nurses twenty-five reasons why you are appreciated every day. It is because you provide:

A Healing Touch
A Kind Word
Gentle Hands
Daily Miracles
A Caring Heart
Comfort to the Sick
Courage to the Fearful
Strength to the Weary
A Bright Outlook
Grace under Pressure
A Warm Smile
Unending Patience
Reassurance
A Hand to Hold
Compassion
Hope
Support
Skill
A Can-Do Attitude
Helpful Advice
An Inspiring Example
A Sympathetic Ear
Acceptance
An Invaluable Service for Our Nation's Heroes
More than Mere Words Can Tell!
