Today I Dedicate
As a nurse, you have a strong passion to help others. You dedicate yourself to caring even when you're no longer “on the clock.” A former patient stops you in the grocery store. A neighbor pops over to ask about their child's scraped knee. Your work is rarely done. And you don't mind for a second.
Meet three nurses who share their personal stories of dedication.
Heidi Waters
Joyce Carlson
Tonya Lee
