What eats at you

As a Nurse, I want to help everyone. Unfortunately, there is not enough time or money that one person can give. My contributions to society are relatively insignificant. However, if there are enough insignificant contributions, then these collectively will become quite significant

Think about what you can do to make even just a tiny positive change in the life of:

The breast cancer survivor who must watch their loved one succumb to the same fate.

The child who will go to bed hungry tonight.

The human-being who will die due to lack of medical care.

We are Nurses. We make a difference. We will be heard.

(This is a revision of a previous post. Please, no likes or comments. Just make a tiny contribution to society, even if it is just a brief thought)

    The chronic pain patient who is having real breakthrough pain.

    My contributions are much less heroic thank those listed.

    These days being purposely patient and tolerant is something I try to do out in society, in my work it's whatever is within my scope and bedside manner that will add a mark in the positive column.

    The way mental illness is still stigmatized by society. The first assumption made by the media when a school shooting or other tragedy happens is that the perpetrator must've suffered from some sort of psychiatric condition. As an advocate for people with MI, it pains me to see this happen over and over again. Not all mentally ill people are killers, and not all killers are mentally ill. I hope that message gets through to the media someday.

    What eats at me is power of attorneys who have different opinions of how the patient's care should go than the patient does.

    Patient: I want to be DNR, I don't want to be on the ventilator again.

    - insert patient going unconscious and into distress -

    Power of attorney - I want my wife to live; make her a full code and do compressions and put her on the ventilator!

    There are very few people in this world that I actively want to hurt, but I really, really, really want to physically hurt those people. I wish I could throw them in jail and get rid of the key.

    A lot of people who are not DNRs should be. That's especially sad, to me.
