Being a nurse can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling professions out there. But like with any other career, it comes with a price (or two…). On the one hand, nurses make a significant impact on patient's lives. They provide care, comfort, and support during difficult and vulnerable times. Nursing also offers a wide range of specialties exploring all sorts of fields; from pediatrics to surgery. After all, there is nothing more heartwarming than seeing your patient fully recover. 

But at the end of the day, there comes a time when you realize that being a nurse means making a lot of sacrifices, especially in one's personal life. All the irregular working hours can make it nearly impossible to ever score a date. As nursing is a demanding job that makes you deal with emotional situations, it can cause stress and a shift in energy at home. 

Nursing has its share fair of positives and challenges, both professionally and personally. And so remember that every time you see a health care professional sacrificing their own personal life to save yours. With that being said, the following meme list goes to all the amazing thirst responders out there!
