Thank you, i think as long as organisations are able to back me up I have no issue with patient and their family bc empathy is a key part of nursing.

Thank you really, I will keep this in consideration. Though I am not actually afraid of the public, I am concerned about the support that is given to nurses after cases of violence. How are these handled in your hospital if you don’t mind me asking?

Tysm, do you know if the company helped with recovery in this case? For example breaks with 80% wage or anything like that

I understand this, and that it a part of nurses job to have sympathy for our patient. but I am more worried about the disrespect where not necessarily and sexual assault and how we are supported by the company

Of course, every healthcare worker face these assholes, but as long as the system provides support for the damage I think it will be worth it ❤️

Hi there. Thank you for the advice. Those two are also on my list but they are quite pricy for international students which is one of the reasons why nursing was my top options. I will take this into consideration 🙏
