Aneita Giovig Zander
"Who can find a good-natured nurse? For her price is far above silver and gold...(Proverbs 31) ... She seeks medicines and skills, and works willingly to help others...she is like the dedicated servant; favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a nurse that fears the Lord, she shall be praised...Give her the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the halls of nursing..."
