Nurses' Touching Gesture Celebrates Co-Worker's Graduation - Inspirational Videos

A group of nurses recognized and helped their co-worker celebrate her graduation with a sweet and touching gesture.

Anyone alive for any significant amount of time knows life is full of requirements and obligations. We all have jobs, family commitments and other things that constantly pull us in a hundred different directions. This is a simple fact of life; everyone knows and understands it. 

Of course, when everyone has so many obligations and requirements, some hard choices sometimes must be made. Some things are prioritized, while others must fall by the wayside or be ignored altogether. Family and work obligations sometimes precede things deemed less critical, like walking in your graduation ceremony.

However, a special and loving group of nurses would not let their co-worker miss walking in graduation. A short video posted on social media shows a young woman walking to the desk for an “emergency.”

But when she arrived, there was no emergency. Instead, she attended a makeshift graduation ceremony thrown by caring nurses in a hospital. Once the young woman reached the desk, she was immediately met by another woman who placed a “graduation cap and gown” on her. 

She responds to the unexpected ceremony with a series of big smiles. The graduate is then sent on a walk through a hospital hallway lined with her co-workers clapping and celebrating her educational achievement.

According to the video’s caption, the young woman in the video was set to accept her master’s degree as the valedictorian of her class. Unfortunately, duty called, and she could not attend the ceremony. But her loving co-workers showed her how much they love and appreciate her.

That sweet gesture from those nurses helps bond people together, making them more than co-workers. People who know they are loved and appreciated at work will do more and stay longer than someone who feels they are simply filling a role or a job. 

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
