      2. PeriAnesthesia Nurses Poem:  Submitted by Ann Hladky, Registered Respiratory Therapist, Royal Alexander Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, February 2010:

       

      "Recovery Room Nurses are the best,

      Some would even say 'a step above the rest'.

      A cool hand or a kind word,

      Even drugs when the pain is absurd.

      Having surgery without fear is rare;

      It is a relief to wake up to people who care.

      This is the week that you employ

      Rightful recognition that I hope you enjoy."
