The demands of nursing are real. It requires resilience, skill, and a deep sense of purpose to keep showing up, especially on the hardest days. This Nurses Week, I want to thank the incredible nurses across @UofUHealth for the compassion, expertise, and steady presence they bring to this work every day. Your impact is felt in every patient interaction, every act of reassurance, and every moment of care. I am grateful for all you do.
