The Challenge of Unreasonable Demands
View through CrossRef
The work of nursing places on nurses demands that sometimes are unreasonable. Low nurse-to-patient ratios, demanding patients, busy clinics—all of these put pressure on nurses. This pressure can lead to mistakes. The habit of trustworthiness, however, is a personal habit nurses can cultivate in themselves to meet these demands and still be a good nurse. It is also a habit the community of nurses goes to. In this way, the trustworthiness of the community of nurses, amid the demands of the work, empowers the profession of nursing.
