I've been known to have a good cry when I've looked after someone, and they haven't made it - equally when they are one of my favourite patient's and they have done really well.<br /><br />It's been a real insight (from reading your blog) to know what it is like from a patient's perspective. I won't lie - often, it is tough looking after CF patients because they (and their relatives) know so much more about their own care, and often want to be actively involved. This can be frustrating from a nurse's POV, especially as ITU nurses are so autonomous and like to be independent... A common fault, I'm afraid.<br /><br />But, reading your blog has reminded me that, as a nurse, we can make a massive difference to your day. Being stuck in a side room with a moody nurse must be a right downer. We get to go home at the end of a shift - you are stuck in bed all day with 4 walls to look at. So, thank you for reminding me of one of the main reasons I became a nurse in the first place.. To make a difference in someone's life.<br /><br />You're a real inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891890415105870203.post-11394157987610690762011-10-18T06:21:17.637-07:002011-10-18T06:21:17.637-07:00Kirstie you look amazing!!
