As a...As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you.<br /><br />As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I encourage my patients to do exactly what you're talking about, to be with their pain rather than run from it, distract themselves, try to talk themselves out of it; many are unable, or are so out of touch with themselves they have no idea what I'm talking about. But those who allow themselves increasing glimpses of their interior life are ultimately transformed by fully experiencing the whole range of their emotions.<br /><br />Also as a nurse, I can fully relate to nursing "until it hurt." Nurses enter into relationships with patients that few others do, even their closest loved ones. We are privy to the most intimate, most vulnerable, most exposed, most frightening experiences of their lives, which is both a privilege and a burden. The toll it took on you is indicative of your compassion, your ability to "be with" them in dark moments; this is an occupational hazard. Unfortunately, many nurses harden themselves against the anguish of patients, focusing on the technical aspects of care, and the most valuable gift of nursing is lost. Particularly in the current climate, resources for supporting nurses, for providing for the means to release some of the burden they carry are scarce. But we'll all pay the price for that in the end.Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149116372684626964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623330910546765575.post-44438871905624380342010-02-25T06:26:58.357-08:002010-02-25T06:26:58.357-08:00beautifully written.beautifully written.chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623330910546765575.post-8247620540003098162010-02-25T06:26:57.283-08:002010-02-25T06:26:57.283-08:00beautifully written.beautifully written.chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623330910546765575.post-49968120451261592462010-02-25T06:26:53.308-08:002010-02-25T06:26:53.308-08:00beautifully written.beautifully written.chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623330910546765575.post-76322385818557430142010-02-24T18:30:44.252-08:002010-02-24T18:30:44.252-08:00As Roxanne wishes for herself so I wish for her al...As Roxanne wishes for herself so I wish for her also.
