Exhausted Nurse Falls Asleep In Salon Chair, Then Stylist Snaps Secret Photo Of Her Shoes.

Nurses never fail to impress us. The hardworking, selfless professionals go to great lengths to help their patients recover. Day after day their purpose and character drives them to help others. Nursing is so much more than a job.

Ashley Bolling is a stylist and mother of three who has had great respect for nurses all of her life. Recently, a hospital nurse came into Bolling’s salon after an overnight shift and promptly fell asleep in the salon chair. Bolling graciously let the woman rest while she worked on her hair, but then Bolling glanced down at the hardworking nurse’s shoes.

Bolling was inspired by this moment to write a note of encouragement to nurses everywhere that has gone viral for all the right reasons. Check out her letter in full below.

“I had one of those ‘stop-you-in-your-tracks,’ extremely humbling moments, while working quietly on the hair of a very exhausted, sleeping nurse.”
