Hi Rebecca,
I noticed your question and wanted to share some thoughts.
Nursing can be tough, and it's important to have a genuine interest in helping others. I've attached a link that might help answer your question.
Right now, I'm taking care of my dad, and I can tell you that dealing with patients can be challenging. Sometimes they might say things that hurt, but other times, you just have to laugh it off.
My dad's mood changes a lot. One moment, he might be upset, and the next, he's the kindest person. As his caregiver, I know when to give him space and come back later when he's calmer.
I admire nurses for their patience and understanding. When caregivers help my dad, I remind them that this is part of the job, and it's important to remember that patients often don't mean the hurtful things they say.
I wish you all the best in your decision. Whether you're a nurse, teacher, or any public servant, you'll often meet people at difficult times. It's important to have the compassion to see beyond their behavior and understand their true needs.
