From Cheers to Jeers?! We are in the midst of National Nurses Week which in turn, of course, finds ourselves in the midst of a pandemic. Nurses in particular have found themselves not only on the front lines of COVID-19 patient care, but also in the headlines of daily news. They have been hailed as "Health Care Heroes" and lauded through free meals, vehicle processions, and spontaneous applause. All welcome, of course. While not as numerous, there have been reports and first hand testimonies of nurses being ridiculed or targets of aggression for spreading the virus and/or their complaints regarding a lack or protection. All deplorable, of course. From my numerous encounters and in depth conversations with nurses throughout the last few months, the primary repeating emphasis is reflected in this quote from last week: "I never dreamed of having to deal with such an awful situation but I could not and never will walk away from my patients; it's where I belong". Further, while they express appreciation for the many acts of generosity, nurses remind us they are simply doing what they have been called to do, not feeling superior to the legion of others who are serving the public in their own way. As a group, nurses tend to shun the spotlight and instead practice their profession through 'servant leadership'. As a psychologist (and a father of a Critical Care Nurse) I find this combination of 'quiet dedication' and humility to be hallmarks of their character, modeled by their Matriarch of Modern Nursing, Florence Nightingale. So All Hail, Nightingales!
