“We know when people are coming to the hospital they are not at their best but the most important thing we can do is just be kind. Looking at what I get to do for people each and every day and how I get to impact their lives in a positive way makes it all worth it,” said Nurse Recker. When you love what you do and get to see the positive impact you have on people, it’s hard to be negative. “I am fortunate enough to work at a job I love and am passionate about. Nurse Recker says that while sometimes there are situations where there isn’t a good solution and there’s no way to predict the future, she feels good knowing that there are people who have her back. “To express our sincerest gratitude, we’re honored-to provide a platform for these incredible stories to be told, inspiring both the nursing community and beyond.” “Nurses share in some of the most joyful moments of a patient’s life but are also witness to some of the toughest moments, which can be a taxing part of their jobs that often goes unrecognized,” said Jaclyn Marrone, vice president of marketing for CeraVe.
