I'm currently a nursing student and I am highly considering specializing. Everyone I have spoken to about it tells me how tough it will be. The reason I am interested is because I am not only a cancer survivor but I am currently diagnosed with thyroid cancer for a second time. I have dreamed of becoming a nurse since I was very young and the whole reason for that is because I admire all of the nurses I have been in contact with. They always knew what to say to comfort me and I can never thank them enough for that so I decided to become one myself and give other patients the same feeling of strength that my nurses gave me. I am somewhat of an emotional person, and from everything I've heard it takes a lot of strength to be an oncology nurse. I know that I have a lot of personal strength but I'm not sure if I will be able to hide my emotions when it comes to patients. Does anyone have any advice on how to contain their emotions?
