A nurse practitioner specializing in end-of-life treatment found herself in a vulnerable moment. After establishing a strong bond with a critically ill patient, emotions got the best of her. Andrea took notice of this and was quick to comfort her colleague during her time of sadness.
Andrea's thoughtful gesture reminds us that despite the challenges of our jobs and the emotional toll it can have on us, we have to stay strong for each other so that we can continue delivering the exceptional care our patients deserve.
