00:01.909 --> 00:04.550
So I am thankful for nurses for a lot

00:04.559 --> 00:07.019
of reasons . As a a nurse , myself , an

00:07.030 --> 00:10.029
advanced practice nurse myself , I have

00:10.039 --> 00:12.206
a little bit of insight into what goes

00:12.206 --> 00:14.261
on in the daily lives of nurses . So

00:14.261 --> 00:16.428
for that , I'm thankful , I understand

00:16.428 --> 00:19.200
uh the work and uh the effort and

00:19.209 --> 00:21.320
really the selfless service that they

00:21.320 --> 00:23.431
give . But beyond that , I , I have a

00:23.431 --> 00:26.110
personal reason . So years ago before I

00:26.120 --> 00:28.287
was a nurse , I was almost killed in a

00:28.287 --> 00:30.870
car accident . And through the course

00:30.879 --> 00:33.046
of that treatment , spent lots of time

00:33.046 --> 00:35.101
in the IC U and in the inpatient and

00:35.101 --> 00:37.669
rehab . And it was the care I received

00:37.680 --> 00:40.549
from nurses that ultimately motivated

00:40.560 --> 00:42.939
me to go into the field . So for that

00:42.950 --> 00:45.500
reason for my life and then for my

00:45.509 --> 00:47.620
profession , I would say I'm thankful

00:47.620 --> 00:50.549
for our nurse team to the team at large

00:50.560 --> 00:51.689
Happy Nurses Week .
