About Jason Harward

Jason Harward has 25 years experience as a BSN, RN and specializes in Respiratory/Telemetry, Float Pool, Nurse Manager.

My years taking care of individuals have taught me that the mere physical is but a small piece of what makes up a total person.  There are mental and emotional resources (not the least of which is humor) that have a powerful influence on physiology and well- being.  Focusing only on the anatomical and physiological does the patient a great disservice and indicates that the caregiver is likely not living/enjoying life to the extent he/she is capable of.  Never underestimate the power of a smile and word of encouragement - to yourself as well as your patient.
