When working in a children's Emergency Department a VERY distressed father came in with his baby. He was concerned about a 'abnormal' mark which was on the baby. I then had to explain that birth marks were perfectly normal........... Cheers MurseDan

i'm suggesting that we move away from feeling sorry for people, sympathy only disables us from doing our job however being empathetic to there needs and there situation may be a key. sure it may be idealistic but having that goal in mind will certain...

If everyone patient was "perfect" would you still be a nurse? Personally I enjoy the fact that people are so different in the way they react and respond. The best thing nursing has taught me, is that "bad situations" allows me to rise to the occasion...
