One area that I feel I need to better mask my emotions is when dealing with a person’s feces. I know a couple times when caring for my patients the smell, and up closeness of me to it made me want to slightly gag, and the last thing I want to do is make s person feel bad about themselves for something they cannot even control for the most part. Also, sometimes I feel as though I would be too gentle with my patients. While my goal to not cause any more pain than the person is already experiencing, I may be over cautious in some situations which I feel is something I need to get out of mind. Some of my strengths include having the ability to empathize and care for my patients, that’s something I feel that comes as second nature. I take my time with my patient care, and try to go beyond that so the person feels as though my goal wasn’t to get done and move on to the next person, but to make sure they’re okay and feel good about themselves, and as though they had someone to listen to them. To me it seems that throughout a career in health care people have likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, but in the long run it shouldn’t affect the way the care is
