It's the rant that feels good. Caitlin Brassington is a British nurse who, tired of seeing her job still underestimated, decided to fight back. It was on her Facebook page that the 38-year-old young woman published a long open letter, addressed to all those who do not value her profession at its fair value. At the origin of this initiative, a meeting at the supermarket. “I ran into an acquaintance. She had never seen me in work clothes, and told me she never realized I was "just a nurse." Wow! In 18 years of career, I have heard this sentence many, many times, but today it is too much “, she writes. And the rest has what to nail the beak to the detractors!
"I've delivered babies, some of whom needed me to help them breathe, and yet I'm just a nurse “, she begins. “I've held patients' hands and kept them dignified as they breathed their last, and yet I'm just a nurse. I consoled parents in distress who had just lost their child, and yet I am only a simple nurse. I've brought patients back to life by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and yet I'm just a nurse […] I know how to manage a heart attack on a newborn, a child or an adult, and yet I'm just a simple nurse she continues. Caitlin also shared the sacrifices involved in her job:"I've missed Christmas Eve parties, my kids' birthdays and school shows to go to work and take care of your loved ones, and yet I'm just a simple nurse .
The young woman concludes by sharing her passion for her profession:“ So if I am just a simple nurse, I am incredibly proud to be! ". A powerful post has received almost 9000 likes and has been shared over 1500 times. Congratulations to her!
