I so can relate! Thanks for sharing! :)

Think of that experience as a short coming that you will surely get over with. What you can do is to learn from such experience to avoid another similar incident to happen. As nurses, we have to be independent and assert our function as nurses. That's why you have to fortify the body of knowledge we already have. Let us put away the common notion that nurses exist just to carry out the medical doctors' orders. Do not let other health care professionals over power you. Next time, do not cry in front of them If you can't help but cry, try your best to hold it back until you can cry all alone (of course we should not suppress our feelings after all). You are a nurse no matter how new or old you are in the field of practice. Deal with times like these, learn from them, and dare to surpass the challenge. You can do it! :)
