Medical professionals face stressful and intense situations on a daily basis.
It’s how we handle that stress in the moment that makes us the skilled professionals we are. When a patient is in critical condition, nurses must stay cool and calm under pressure. Patients and our coworkers are counting on us to remain steady. Those first few times you experience an intense situation with a patient can be scary, nerve-wracking, and overwhelming.
Always remain focused on providing essential care and staying on task. Your calmness can impact your coworkers, the patient, and their loved ones. It can be the key to helping people through a tough time.
