The article that I choose was about comparing stigma against mentally ill patients by psychiatric and non-psychiatric nurses at a large hospital in Iran. I found the article very interesting and eye opening since I was surprise to find out that psychiatric nurses had stigma against mentally ill patients.

Psychiatric nurses have extensive knowledge of the disease processes compare to non-psychiatric nurses and because of that they should have compassion and empathy more than non-psychiatric nurses.
