I am an RN student and I would like to know what the nurses who care for you could do to better help you? I'm anxious to get your feedback! Please reply!

    Hi thanks for your concern. I can't say that I've ever received bad care while in the hospital. Knock on wood. I just don't like being poked and prodded at all hours of the day, but there isn't anything you can do about that! I just know it's a bit embarrassing for us considering the nature of our cancer. just your kindness is enough.
    My husband is a CCRN. I think male nurses are great don't get me wrong but it is more comfortable with female nurses.
