Nurses that specialize in burns are a special kind of nurse...like a pediatric nurse.
I'm not one of either. I just couldn't stand it, I don't think...my heart would just break.
Head trauma rehab was my thing.
Good Lord, that's just as demanding... I couldn't do that, I don't have the patience, nor could I help them deal with the frustration.
My mother is a cardiac nurse. Even that is frustrating... Like catching a patient sneaking a smoke in the stairwell, days after their Nth heart attack...
Can you please thank your mom for me? The nurses that I have met during my stay were just the best. Also, please tell her that there are some patients who do everything the nurses and doctors require in order that the next time we meet, it's under better circumstances.
