As a nurse, I think about what is true nursing and caring for the client every moment. The nurses spend their lives on the journey of caring for clients. They face a lifetime of habits and thoughts(pain, hardship, anger, depression) and nurses look at themselves. Who can truly accept and empathize with the pain of the clients? I hope this is me.
