Today, October 8th, marks "National Emergency Nurses Day." Today also marks "National Fluffernutter Day," whatever that is. In any case, have you taken a moment to thank a nurse?

As of last week, I have all new motivation to thank emergency nurses. I was taken to the emergency room in pretty rough shape. As near as I can tell, it's the nurses that do the brunt of the work.

Take a look at a day in the life of an emergency nurse.

Hopefully you will find no reason to visit an emergency room today. Next chance you get, though, take a moment to thank a nurse for the incredible work they do.
