The Heart of the Matter: Inspiring Stories of Nursing

by: Amanda Debons

Being a nurse isn’t always easy. But as the saying goes, ‘they didn’t say it would easy, they just said it would be worth it. For Lindsay Mays, this holds true every day.

“As a nurse you are under the microscope of scrutiny even when you’re not at work, and this reminds me to provide the best representation of my colleagues as possible,” she said. Mays, who works in the Progressive Care Unit at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, AZ, said that she knows she is a better person because of her career.

“Nursing has affected not only my career but also my personal life for the better,” she said. “My interpersonal skills have been strengthened and fine-tuned, which has helped my self confidence.”

Monna Taulbee found this type of confidence comforting when she was at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio having her gallbladder removed.

“They (the nurses) were very confident in their care-giving, which made me feel more comfortable,” Taulbee said. “They were friendly and treated me like a friend, not a patient.”

Taulbee, like many others who have emergency surgery, said she dreads hospitals and was terrified to go into surgery, but it was her nurses who made her feel at ease.

“You can tell that they care about their patients and that they like being a nurse,” Taulbee said. “In my opinion, my hospital stay was not as bad as I imagined because of the nurses there.”
