Many of us grow up with a role model-some person, real or fictional, that embodies the values we hold dear, and symbolizes the person we’d like to become.
Future basketball players have Michael Jordan. Future politicians have Barack Obama. Future crime fighters have Batman.
We nurses, however, have a smaller pool of heroes to choose from- but quantity does not mean quality, and the few that we have are stellar: from Florence Nightingale, the veritable nursing archetype that all nurses would eventually seek to emulate, to Gaylord Focker, a more modern but no less stalwart tribute to the perseverance and fortitude needed by any man or woman who enters the profession.
Nurses are only half of the equation, however. The patients we care for are the reason the nursing profession exists in the first place, and the people we’d ideally like to become are the same people our patients would ideally like to have caring for them at the hospital. Step into the shoes of a patient for a few minutes, and follow the flowchart to find out which pop culture nurse will be caring for you in your time of need.
