[Toon] What superhero are you?All nurses exemplify super heroes. Whether it's the nurse who comes in to cover a sick co-worker, to the nurse who goes the extra mile at work for their patient. We may not climb tall buildings, leap over cars or save people from giant apes but we all contribute in some super way.
