These past few years has proven that almost no one is more essential than nurses. Beyond their importance in the frontline fight against the pandemic, nurses are often the first person you see when you're sick, injured and even born. Their exhausting, often thankless work is crucial to keeping all of us safe, healthy and comfortable, whether it's during the joys of new motherhood or the darkness of our final hours. Nurses Week is just one very small way to show our appreciation for the women and men who work so tirelessly for public health. These nurse memes will make nurses giggle ruefully and feel seen, and they can help the rest of us understand just the tip of the iceberg that is their everyday.
