Book: Nurse ~~Peggy Anderson

Pg. 20
Being a nurse is not like working on an assembly line. People are sick. You can't rush a post-op getting out of bed for the first time even when you're one nurse short that day. There are thirty-six different personalities. People are afraid. They're depressed. They may be angry. They may be alone. They may have no place to go. They may be dying. They have questions. They need reassurance. They may need to learn how to adjust their lives to changes in their bodies. They may need to cry. They may need to laugh.

Don't Fall Apart
