[Marie H.]

As a critical care nurse, I have seen a lot of things that are gross, bad traumas and injuries and diseases, and even just poop or vomit. You have to be able to deal with the person or the family professionally. I’d have to say that professionalism is key. You don’t want to alienate your patient or family by making faces or saying rude comments about something which the patient has no control over. The patient is there to be treated as a human being, and that means with kindness and respect. I may talk about it with other nurses in private, but never in front of the patient. Plus, you get kind of used to it.
