Here is a longer part of this film - youtu.be/8gRMejzN2aI
My team and I got the assignment to film the lives of five nurses selected as great nurses by a national organization. The film was tough to make. My daughter is a nurse practitioner. I know how hard the job is. But being with this wonderful pediatric cancer nurse brought front and center how difficult it is for the nurse to support children and their families with cancer.
He/she must remain optimistic to help children and their parents through a battle that all too often does not have a good outcome. I know that this video clip is short but every time I see it, I am proud to have made it and I once again honor the nurses who give themselves so completely to their patients and patient families.
I pray that someday soon childhood cancer will no longer exist. Until that time, I think every nurse in America and around the world who does this difficult job with skill, kindness and compassion, and overcoming sad times with the faith that they can do something to help.
