THIS IS A GREAT TOPIC I had instant flashbacks of 4-5 memories of my getting "white coat syndrome" and I have a shy bladder. #1 memory -I let a student- (they lied to me and said the Dr. watching was the student)-take 45 minutes to circumcise my son-- my throat closed up and tears streamed down my face because I couldn't tell them to stop, I knew it was wrong. (by the way the child did survive intact, somewhat-) It's a difficult thing for me as medical professional to be the patient. blues

hi ron-- have a BSN yes, I do feel that my education prepared me better for the situations I would have to deal with.---yes i do believe that I have and earned a degree of ...insight-- I look at anxiety, nutrition, coping mechanisms-denial-- in a way that non-degreed- people do??--- I also never discount--what all people never give credit for is basic, common sense- combined with my "wortheless" degree and my three sisters, and my gift from the almighty,---don't cha know--I have the gift of mercy--I am able to understand ---so--there you go--That's why I'm a nurse!!!!!!
