im not a nurse yet but i work in a hospital. i cried tonight for the first time it took alot for me to hold back before going into the restroom to hide for a few moments
iv had all kinds of patients come in that i see young,old,sick,sicker,you get what im saying
but tonight this women came in fragial looking. in her wheel chair,after already hit with major health issues she was now being told she is having kidney failure. im always very nice and have had patients told me so. i got up to leave the room and i was going to tell her the nurse will be in soon and she just gave me this look like she coulnt hold back anymore and just let the tears run. and i usally deal well but coudnt hold back i havent hugged anyone and other people have cried and i have just gave words of encouragement but i couldnt help myself for some reason she was different. she was on hospice and sick and she looked at me and told me 'im scared' and i felt so helpless all i could go was give her a hug and told her im here if you need someone to talk to,not in my job discription but i didnt care at that point. im thinking of her and i hope she knows even though im a stranger shes in my prayers
i dont know her at all. her history,anything really but i just know she is a good person and deseves good health.
