Are you more or less sensitive to death issues?

What are your perceptions about the life span?

What you your thoughts???

Do you view life differently--if so, how?

Having been a nurse for 40+ years and still active, I can say that it took me longer than 1 year to feel differently about life and death. Then I suppose it depends on the type of nursing that you do in your first year of nursing, and what you are exposed to at that time.
