Sample Story

Chicken Soup for the Nurse’s Soul

To the Nurses of the World

Work is love made visible.                                                       Kahlil Gibran

• You evangelists of encouragement, you are so much more than you know.
• You have never let what you couldn't do stop you from doing all you could do.
• You are sales people, your briefcases are filled with a product called hope.
• You are explorers, knowing that once you have gone as far as you can see, you will still see farther.
• You are singers spreading the melody of consideration.
• You are lawyers making a case for life.
• You are authors helping others add more pages to their book of memory.
• You are comedians dispensing the medicine of laughter.
• You are magicians creating real miracles that inspire patients and families.
• Like King Arthur and Joan of Arc, you are warriors battling against the villains of negativity.
• Dorothy would have reached Oz much faster in the company of one nurse.
• For no one can practice your profession unless they already possess a brain brimming with wisdom, boundless courage, and a heart filled with love.
• You are living proof that humanity is created in the image and likeness of God, and the name of that God is Love.
