Probably the first impression on hearing the word is a negative one: long shifts of work putting on a good face. It's about giving your best at all times, whatever the circumstances.

However, nursing does not listen to reason. Giving yourself to others regardless of the circumstances is what drives your work. Remembering that you have been able to accompany them in the most difficult moments, the tears of welcoming a new life, the joy of being able to say goodbye to a patient because they have recovered, or the call from their family? 

Pride in your vocation despite the effort. Eternal gratitude for a work with incalculable value, such as giving life or alleviating suffering. All these details are what remind you why putting on a smile, without having your batteries charged, is worthwhile.
