Most of the help that she has comes from the nurse. When she needed medication for her pain she would page the nurse and the nurse would give her pain medication. When needing any physical help the nurse would be there right away, she cared for her physically and emotionally. Most of her hospital stay the nurse helped her and the doctor was only there for a couple of minutes a day, it was the nurse that did most of the work and left a lasting impression on my aunt, they would always comfort her and talk with her to make her feel a little better, it was them that gave her the emotional support she needed. This is the main reason I sought out to be in the nursing field.
