Do you feel you could work in Palliative care, why or why noy?


Do you feel you could work in Palliative care, why or why noy?

Yes, and i have. Why? Because palliative care nursing requires warmth, strength, humour, empathy, practical, communication, interaction and clinical skills and a commitment to providing the best care possible in end of life situations to the patient and their families.

No I could not. It takes a very special person to work in that specialty and I am just not that special. Sometimes I cry just doing my job and I would never want to do that in front of a patient.
