Nursing Quotes

Nursing encompasses an art, a humanistic orientation, a feeling for the value of the individual, and an intuitive sense of ethics, and of the appropriateness of action taken Picture Quote #1

I reached a time in college when I didn’t know what I wanted to do. At that time, women’s careers were essentially nursing, secretarial and teaching. My mother advised me to get my teacher’s certificate Picture Quote #1

My first job was washing dishes in the basement of a nursing home for $2.10 an hour, and I learned as much about the value of hard work there as I ever did later Picture Quote #1

Desire animates the world. It is present in the baby crying for milk, the girl struggling to solve a math problem, the woman running to meet her lover and later deciding to have children, and the old woman, hunched over her walker, moving down the hall of the nursing home at a glacial pace to pick up her mail. Banish desire from the world, and you get a world of frozen beings who have no reason to live and no reason to die Picture Quote #1

Sick people, particularly those with serious conditions, greatly prefer the company of their friends and family to residence in a hospital or nursing home Picture Quote #1

Until I became a nurse, no one had ever asked me to sign a book contract. I had been writing for decades, read thousands of books, and even worked in publishing for 10 years. Who knew that nursing would be my break? Picture Quote #1

Modern death is a matter of bright rooms and hard machines. Live long enough, and you might be filed away in a nursing home, your history scoured away, your life winnowed down to a few items on the table and some pictures of people who don’t come around enough. When you are about to pass on, there is no quiet to attend you: busy fuss and professional zeal strive to bring you back, nail you to the soft cross of the rented bed Picture Quote #1

Nursing demands vigilance about people. The sights and smells that a patient offers, their movements and their offhand comments all contribute crucial information to understanding what they need. Training and experience heighten one’s ability to see what needs to be seen Picture Quote #1

When my mother took her turn to sit in a gown at her graduation, she thought she only had two career options: nursing and teaching. She raised me and my sister to believe that we could do anything, and we believed her Picture Quote #1

In a hospital they throw you out into the street before you are half cured, but in a nursing home they don’t let you out till you are dead Picture Quote #1

Nature alone cures.... what nursing has to do... is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him Picture Quote #1

Never to allow a patient to be waked, intentionally or accidentally, is a sine qua non of all good nursing Picture Quote #1

Nursing may be the oldest art, but in the contemporary world, it is also one of the most invisible. One of the most invisible arts, sciences, and certainly one of the most invisible parts of our health care system Picture Quote #1

Nursing is not only a natural vocation for a woman, but an occupation which increases her matrimonial chances about eighty per cent Picture Quote #1

Women, on average, earn less than men in almost every occupation, including traditional female orientated jobs like nursing and teaching Picture Quote #1

I look upon the too good opinion that man has of himself, as the nursing mother of all false opinions, both public and private Picture Quote #1

There is a certain amount of purpose, acquiescence, and satisfaction in nursing one’s melancholy Picture Quote #1

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs. With this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low. I live in calm, looking to the end Picture Quote #1

When an actress takes off her clothes onscreen but a nursing mother is told to leave, what message do we send about the roles of women? Picture Quote #1

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home Picture Quote #1

Hatred, in the course of time, kills the unhappy wretch who delights in nursing it in his bosom Picture Quote #1

Incidentally, it’s best not to argue with the nursing staff. I find the best course of action is to throw some chocolates in one direction and hurry off in the other while their attention is distracted Picture Quote #1

Human beings sometimes find a kind of pleasure in nursing painful emotions, in blaming themselves without reason or even against reason Picture Quote #1

The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health, or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick Picture Quote #1

Unless we are making progress in our nursing every year, every month, every week, take my word for it we are going back Picture Quote #1

Truth is the nursing mother of genius. No man can be absolutely true to himself, eschewing cant, compromise, servile imitation, and complaisance without becoming original Picture Quote #1

May we hope that, when we are all dead and gone, leaders will arise who have been personally experienced in the hard, practical work, the difficulties, and the joys of organizing nursing reforms, and who will lead far beyond anything we have done! Picture Quote #1

Combine nursing homes with nursery schools. Bring very old and very young together: they interest one another Picture Quote #1

Does anyone really go into nursing intending to be apathetic, cold and removed from suffering? I find that very difficult to believe Picture Quote #1

Many students graduate from college and professional schools, including those of social work, nursing, medicine, teaching and law, with crushing debt burdens Picture Quote #1
