1. Need Advice!!!!!!

   NurseSara0214 replied to RN4116's topic in General Nursing

   To be on the safe side, I would do what the above posters stated. Contact whoever is on your Infectious Disease team. It may have been nothing, but honestly in a case like that it's always smart to fill out an incident report and get checked out. Gen...

2. Nursing and Emotions - Need advice/encouragement

   NurseSara0214 replied to NurseSara0214's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you Leslie. I think it'd be cold and undearing to at least give a sentiment to a family who has just lost their loved one. There were many emotions that day, and honestly, I was so happy to know that I was able to help a family out in their tim...

3. Nursing and Emotions - Need advice/encouragement

   NurseSara0214 replied to NurseSara0214's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, I think they do know me pretty well as I've worked with these people for over 2 years. It's not like I'm crying every minute of my shift each shift. This was an isolated incident in which I was very embarrassed. Yes, I may seek counseling t...

7. Nursing and Emotions - Need advice/encouragement

   NurseSara0214 replied to NurseSara0214's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for the feedback. I think counseling would be a good way for me to figure out how to balance my emotions in this situation. I actually enjoy my job, and we generally only have 1 or 2 hospice patients every few months. I've dealt with ma...

   I currently work as an L.P.N, and have been a nurse for 3 years. I am currently attending school to become an R.N. I have always been an emotional person. Of course in front of patients I am able to be composed, generally if I'm frustrated I pray abo...
