It’s not often that nurses receive the type of recognition they so deserve. That’s why on the rare occasion that they do, we listen. And we share.
Especially when that recognition takes place on a national, publicly televised platform.

Watch the video below to discover what (or more aptly, who) inspired this well-known political analyst and journalist to press “pause” on his typical news coverage and dedicate a portion of his program to honoring your work. Many have found this moment to be a real tearjerker, and we’re inclined to agree.

Thank you for the reminder, Mr. O’Donnell, sometimes we as nurses just need to pause and take in your message. Much appreciated.
