The Nurses Were Quite Helpful
The nurses knew that Angie was going through a pretty difficult moment and that she didn’t always have the people she loved on hand 24/7. So they became her emotional support system. And they knew exactly what she needed because they had seen other patients go through what she did. “They’re taken away from everything that’s normal,” Toni Hicks, RN, told Sharp Healthcare. “So by telling them, ‘You know, I understand that this is really hard for you’ — that’s huge for our patients.”
