nursing school can be so gay sometimes.

i have my lab exam this wednesday and i am officially FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.

so, not only do we have to take vital signs on a really difficult dummy...but we have to somehow demonstrate EMPATHY as an evaluation.

Here's the scenario: After taking the vital signs, you ask "how school is going so far?"

She will tell you that she is having a hard time coming back to school as she misses a close friend who died in a car accident this past summer. She will tell you "it feels weird starting the school year without her".

Engage in an empathetic encounter that demonstrates your ability to listen, understand, and explore her feelings.

yeah, i suggest someone give me some really good advice on empathy and compassion right now. why does this seem way harder than titrating chemical substances and finding the exact molecular weight of phosphorous nitrate. or something.
