Nursing Needs Victors
Nurses are the heart of healthcare, serving as the constant for patients and families as they navigate the health care system. Their work requires a balance of heart and mind - critical thinking in complex technical ways while staying attuned to patients' emotional needs. A heartfelt thank-you from a grateful patient or family member means the world to a nurse."
