"IF" For Nurses

If you can bring a special understanding
To all of those entrusted to your care,
And meet their needs, no matter how demanding,
With patience and with energy to spare;
If you can lend each task your full devotion,
And always try to listen and to cheer;
If you can learn to understand emotion,
And comfort others just by being near;
If you look forward with anticipation
To meeting special challenges each day,
If you can keep your faith and dedication
Whenever disappointment comes your way;
If you take pride in giving your profession
The finest skills and talents you possess,
Then all your dreams and goals will find expression
And, as a Nurse, you'll be a great success.
