Last week, Carol Conley referenced that the art of nursing is “care of strangers” and the performance of this art takes place quietly where people know little about it.
This 4 minute Oscar winning video entitled, Joy and Heron, visually captures the type of art that is found in nursing and which connects us to each other while caring for others. Viewing this video reflects the gratifying joy found in these quiet interactions; attentive to the needs of others in the little moments and making a meaningful connection in ways that are often invisible to others.
