It was tremendous loss to me and my family. The emotional pain was extremely excruciating, primarily because we did not understand what was going on. I just knew that I lost the closest person in my life. Now I can appreciate how patients and patients’ families feel from losing their loved ones and emphasize with patients and families who is going through the loss. Subsequently to my brother being hospitalized, I spend significant time interacting with doctors, nurses and other health care providers and that made me realize and appreciate the complexity of teamwork of health care providers. Furthermore, that made me want to become a part of the health care team myself. The role of the nurse and clinician is truly a matter of life and death for patients. This experience deeply impacted me and primarily drove my decision to become a nurse. I want to make a difference in the life of others, helping them to attain a good state of health and hopefully save other families from losing their loved …show more content…

    I learned how to take care of a dying patient, but I also learned how to support the family. This situation was very hard to deal with. I remember a lot of the nurses being upset because they had remembered her from earlier. The patient wasn’t talking so I had to learn the best way to communicate with her. She did pretty well with shaking her head yes or no for the first couple days.…

    Knowing how to respond to someone who was going through difficult medical treatments, like chemotherapy, or who had lost someone was difficult. Yet the longer I worked in the hospital the more I started to get the sense that tip toeing around patients and families was unnecessary. It just added to the load of their already emotional journey. This was a good lesson to learn early on because illness, death, and dying is a reality of life that I will most likely come into contact with as a counselor. Moreover, working in a hospital was beneficial because I saw how medical professionals interacted with each other and their clients.…

    In regard to working this profession, I’ve discovered a new-found awareness of focus and understanding. If there’s anything that I’ve learned from my aunt, it’s that the patients she works with are undergoing a difficult situation and I must be the one in control to guide them through this process. It is a long and exhausting road for them, you must be the one to help them understand the illness, what they and you can do to ease the pain and create a plan for them so they may live a healthier life. I truly understand now how much work it’ll be. It’s going to be long nights and a lot of paperwork, but through it all, if I can assist these patients it will all be worth it.…
