How do we fight the urge to be morphed into someone we do not like? I thought that I would like to work as an outreach type of nurse, but one day when in my car there was a homeless amputee with a sign "homeless and hungry". I had to look away, I could not make eye contact with him. I was thinking how could I work with homeless people, I think I will come across as judgmental or disgusted. Is that how I really feel? I think I need to try something else as a nurse! I have thought about this very phenomenon, from fresh faced nurse to cynicism girl with attitude!
