Your interview with Suzanne Gordon is great! It should be aired to all nurses and nursing students! It really articulates the complexity and skill of our work. Well done!

Oh my gosh does she not hit the nail on the head!!! We absolutely need to talk about our knowledge and talents! I for one am tired of nurses only talking about all the caring they do…that is not what we are paid to do, and that is something "a monkey could do". We take deliberate actions, formulate plans of care, evalute and assess, nurses are continually thinking on their feet!! Thank you Suzanne for letting us know what people think of us by the way we talk about ourselves.

Thanks for the support, I have a lot of respect for Suzanne and am very happy that nurses have such a strong supporter that isn't within the profession. She does great work, and has really helped me to push myself to watch the language I use when talking about the profession.
