A part of thoughtful reflection is always remembering why you chose this profession of nursing.  This is one of the hardest professions and often results in a phenomena known as "burnout".  In order to help combat that, it is vital that you discover ways to relieve stress in your life, and to reflect on all the reasons you became a nurse.  Enjoy this short video that will help to remind you of how important you (the nurse) are, and how much people appreciate you.
