Lessons nursing has taught me.

Show empathy – for you never know what a person may be going through.

smile and take your time – break it down.
May your actions radiate genuine intention.

Sometimes listening is all you can do. Be present. No need for words. Just hear them out.

Always ask for help when you feel overwhelmed.

When it is stressful just rememember its only for 8 hours.

It is important to switch off from work.

And to empathise without getting attached and emotionally involved.

Code brown means your patient has had a massive shit and you need to clean it up.
