Before you read this post, please, please, please understand: If you are or were a nurse, love or loved a nurse, were once saved by a nurse, have a nurse in your family or neighborhood, or a best friend who is a nurse…this is not a commentary about nurses.
This is a commentary on the women and men who used their voices to speak up and speak out about women’s equality, which is honored on this date each year by order of Congress. So, happy Women’s Equality Day.
I was given this ceramic, wall-hanging nurse at my birth by a neighbor who was in ceramics class with my mom. My mother always told me I could be a nurse if I wanted to and that I could also be anything else I wanted to be. I’m glad options expanded beyond nursing. I’d have been a less-than-stellar nurse.
