00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:04.300
>> I guess my loves are,
I love talking to people.

00:00:04.300 --> 00:00:07.670
If they're totally psych and feel
horrible, it's nice to be able

00:00:07.670 --> 00:00:11.520
to hopefully make them feel
better because [inaudible].

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:14.590
I love talking to patient's families.

00:00:14.590 --> 00:00:16.470
They're going through a hard time.

00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:20.700
Sometimes if it's a slow day,
I make people milkshakes.

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:25.410
That's a totally rare thing I do but so
again, just one on one patient care is good

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:30.340
and you know, to know that you helped them
through hard times it's a good feeling to have.

00:00:30.340 --> 00:00:32.530
And to see them get better.

00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:37.550
I actually had a cancer patient and I'm not
used to -- the old hospital I used to work in,

00:00:37.550 --> 00:00:42.420
we didn't really get people with cancer but
the new hospital has a brand new cancer center.

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.610
And I took care of this one
man and he was not doing well.

00:00:46.610 --> 00:00:52.410
And he was young and it was kind of sad
to see him go through what he was going

00:00:52.410 --> 00:00:53.830
through and he left the hospital.

00:00:53.830 --> 00:00:54.820
And everyone thought that, you know, he was --

00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:56.770
he only had a couple more days and two
weeks ago, he walked onto the floor.

00:00:56.770 --> 00:00:57.520
And it was awesome seeing him.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:58.240
It was really good.

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.230
So that's a good thing, you know?

00:01:00.230 --> 00:01:08.360
I guess my downfalls for me, and there are a
lot of downfalls in nursing but for me, myself,

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:10.710
would be taking it home with
me because I always go home

00:01:10.710 --> 00:01:14.140
and I think what did I do,
what could I have done better.

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:15.160
Oh I should've done that.

00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:18.310
Or oh I didn't tell the nurse,
the other nurse, I did that.

00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:25.040
Or it's something -- if a bad outcome happens
to a patient, I internalize it and you know,

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.730
if I could learn to not do that, that
would be a good thing but, you know,

00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:31.520
I think maybe with more time -- I've
been a nurse for at least 5 years --

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:34.010
with time and all it'll get better, I think.

00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:36.000
