Top inspirational quotes from famous healthcare personalities

07-17-2022 | By Devore Recruiting Blog Posts

They might not be wearing capes and possess super powers, but there is no doubt that healthcare workers are our heroes. For several centuries, healthcare and medical professionals have been the key persons when it comes to the need of tending to the sick. These people are essential workers of the society because they put other’s health first before their own.

From a view of a medical student to a tenured healthcare professional in the field and finally to a seasoned-healthcare veteran, here are some of the most influential people from around the world that share their inspirational quotes for healthcare workers.

Top inspirational quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

“To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; that is to have succeeded.”

—Unknown

—Donna Wilk Cardillo, Author, Nurse, RN, MA, CSP, FAAN

"Bita is EXACTLY what our facility needs. We have been working for a while at changing our image. She has joined us at precisely the right time. She is knowledgeable (extremely), hard working and committed to Quality Care. Because she is new, some leadership is challenging her, but she can handle it. The licensed nurses and CNAs LOVE her. She already has had a very positive impact. I am extremely grateful"
