Good advice. I'm almost done with my ADN and it's surprising looking back at how much nursing has really changed me!Always be compassionate, and never show any judgment. Try to put yourself in patients' shoes before feeling angry with them.
I love this!!!
I totally agree. or what if that patient was your own mother/father/family member? how would you treat them? Compassionate is a skill that no school can teach you.. It's internal and you must have a passion for helping people
