Can a sensitive-ish person be a good nurse?!
Question: Can a sensitive-ish person be a good nurse!?
I am thinking about going to school for nursing but have always been a little sensitive (not TOO sensitive or emotional, just very empathetic!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I think being sensitive is a wonderful quality for a nurse!. Your patients will appreciate you more because you will have great bedside manner, which will make you stand out from other nurses!. The best nurses are the ones who care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Practice one of the relaxation methods in sections 2, 11, 2c, or 2i, daily, and when needed, at http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris
(The following is a variant of EMDR therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, and anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective!. It is easy to be dismissive of such a seemingly unusual technique, but give it a good tryout, for at least a few weeks, to see if it is effective in your case)!. Prior to using either of the methods in the above paragraph, first sit comfortably, and take a deep breath!. Then, without moving your head, move your eyes from the left, to the right, and back again, taking around a second to do so (say: "a thousand and one": this takes approximately a second)!.
Repeat this procedure (without the words, although you can count, subvocally, if you like) 20 times: "A thousand and one; a thousand and two!.!.!. " and so on, to a thousand and twenty!. Then close your eyes and relax!. Become aware of any tension or discomfort you feel!.
Then open your eyes, and take another deep breath, and repeat step one, closing your eyes, and relaxing afterwards, in the same manner!. Then, repeat the procedure one last time!. Some people may find that this is all they need do!. With experience, you may find that you can practise this in public, with your eyes closed, which greatly widens the window of opportunity for its use, and avoids attracting unwanted attention!. I have found that the 2 - 3 minutes spent using the EMDR markedly reduces distractions to the relaxation process, and is repaid many times over!. I also use it prior to my chosen relaxation technique, after lights out, at night!. For more about Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, showing recommendations by those who have used it, including a professional psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience in that field, see sections 33 - 34, at ezy-build!.

I'm 13, and if I was at a hospital after an accident or surgery, having a kind, sensitive, normal nurse would make me feel way better than if I had a strict, by-the-book one!. Go for it!.

I think you would make a great nurse! You do have to sometimes put your feelings aside, which may be hard, but I think an empathetic person makes the best nurse, doctor, etc!. Go for it, good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
