Nursing is a calling, a way of life.
Nursing is a service profession that cannot be lived in isolation.
Nurses rely on each other for the synergistic effect of teamwork in our efforts of caregiving.
It is appropriate that we honor our colleagues, not only during their career, but also at the end of life’s journey.
