Why Do We Love Nurses So Much?

At the celebration of National Nurses Week ‘22, Marcus tells of his roots of loving nurses: family. Growing up around three aunts who were all practicing nurses, Marcus first learned what a noble and unique profession nursing is. Then, as he says, the introduction to Jennifer and Barb and the hundreds of other healthcare professionals he interacted with post trauma solidified his admiration. Marcus and The Hotness then talk about how it’s their joy and privilege to hear the stories of nurses in their travels. Marcus shares how lucky he feels to get to spend so much time with the most trusted professionals in America.Key topics:[0:00] Introduction[0:33] Why Marcus loves nurses so much[4:05] The privilege of getting to bear witness to nurses’ stories[6:10] How to celebrate nurses and all healthcare professionals this May in the midst of so much turmoil[10:40] Thank to all healthcare professionals for working so hard and for continuing to show up to take care of patients and familiesResources for you:More communication tips and resources for how to cultivate compassion and stay in the game: https://marcusengel.com/freeresources/Connect with Marcus on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcusEngelSpeaker/Connect with The Hotness on Facebook: https://bit.ly/FB-MarvelyneSubscribe to the podcast through Apple: https://bit.ly/MarcusEngelPodcastSubscribe to the podcast through Spotify: https://bit.ly/Spotify-MarcusEngelPodcastDate: 05/02/2022Name of show: Compassion & Courage: Conversations in HealthcareEpisode title and number: Episode 48 – Why Do We Love Nurses So Much?
