The Uncanny.
June 19, 2009Nurses are health care professionals that are responsible for taking care of patients’ treatment, maintenance, safety and recovery.
Nursing isn’t about grades. No book can teach you how to sympathize with a patient. No class can teach you how to tell a family that their relatives are in critical condition. No professor can teach you how to find dignity in giving someone a post mortem care. It isn’t about the knowledge of giving pills, medicines or the charting. It’s about being able to love people when they are at their weakest moments.
They are thought to be superhumans but not totally. They read patient’s charts, not their minds. They also have their own insecurities, problems and difficulties in lilfe. They possess strength yet still, they are vulnerable. They know how to get hurt. So in case your expectations to them becomes a little too high, think again. Remember what the song “superman” says?
“…Even heroes have the right to bleed..”
