Hi Christine. Thank you for sharing your day with us. I commend you for your wonderful dedication and compassion in the ER. Where would we all be without those like yourself who are so caring. A well written piece and kudos to you for the work you do. Marilyn

Your poem is easy to read and really does describe an emergency nurse's day. Every time I go to the hospital I watch nurses. Most serve above and beyond duty. Thank you for the work you do, your service to mankind. You have a poem writing gift.

Comment from LisaMay
The 6 is both for the skill of the poem and for your dedication as a good-humoured nurse, often doing difficult tasks under pressure. The poem itself is well written in rhyme and rhythm. I like how you have sandwiched your tasks, and revealed your approach and attitude, between the lines "A busy shift, Emergency the place."

Comment from royowen
What a wonderful way to explain and detail a day in the life of a nurse in the emergency department, it's very articulate, well rhymed and smooth, as per your outstanding poetic ability to do so. I really enjoyed this, I've ever spent one night in hospital, as a 17 year old boy with concussion, well done, excellent post Christine, blessings, Roy

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
It is such a comfort to read your poem and see the satisfaction you receive out of being of help to others. We think of the Emergency Dept. as a place where we usually have to wait and never think how much those that are there to help, have to cope with. Thank you for sharing and caring.

Comment from lyenochka
Wow! Lord bless you for all you do, Christine. You are like a caring angel for people during some of the worst times for them. Thank you for sharing these snippets of what you do!
"I'll say goodbye to patient's in my care" (patients) plural doesn't need the apostrophe.

Chris,
Exceptional job in the penning of this remarkable poem about your day in the ER. I would like to just commend you for being a professional, compassionate and friendly Nurse. As one who have been in the hospital too many times, I can really appreciate the dedication of nurses who have chosen to be in this field. It requires a very Special kind of individual to work with the sick. Thanks you my dear for sharing a beautiful and amazing poem. The very best to you in the contest.
lots of love...Portia

Comment from Mark Valentine
I like the 'day in the life" format you chose. It gives a sense of the many, and often unglamorous, ways that the ER nurse attends to patients' needs. Being in the ER, either as a patient, or with a loved one, is such a scary, lonely feeling, and it is the nurses first and foremost that bring humanity and reassurance in the forms of hand holding, warm blankets, c almvoice, and all the other angelic traits you mention.
