Hi everyone. I'm a first year nursing student on my way to a BSN. I am worried that I am not going to be able to detach myself from patients. I have signed up to volunteer for cancer patients to try and teach myself to stop feeling sad. Many nurses have said that they cry sometimes, but i want to know a few tricks on how to focus on helping the patient, not dwelling on their unhappines due to the illness. All your experience and knowledge is very much appreciated.
