Dr. Lynn Sprayberry has taught nursing at major U.S. colleges and universities. Yet, when asked what gives her greatest pride as a Registered Nurse, she doesn’t hesitate with a response:
“Nursing at the bedside, of course! When a nurse is beside the bed or stretcher of a patient, inevitable trials and vulnerabilities of a human life are very real. It is there, at the patient’s side that the professional nurse reveals through words and actions, the extraordinary capacity of nursing to bring healing and restore hope. A professional nurse is irreplaceable at the bedside.”
