You’ re not a bother“ I often hear patients say that they know I’ m busy, so they don’ t want to be a bother. I wish patients knew that – no matter how many people I’ m caring for, no matter what I have on the schedule for the day – they are important to me and I will do my best to provide the highest quality care for them. They are not a bother, but are the reason I love my job and have gone into the nursing profession.” – Megan Pfitzinger Lippe, STTI
