I recently read an article that confirmed my belief that nurses are among the most well- intentioned, hardworking people in any profession. (Teachers, too, are well-intentioned; so are social workers, and those in lots of jobs that are service-oriented. But burnout can happen to anyone, and a large part of management of these jobs is burnout prevention.)
One of my aunts was a nurse, and so was my step-daughter. These two were among the brightest people I have known. Nurses, I have found, are generally intelligent, and perhaps that is a factor in their choice of occupation. One of the first things nurses have to do is to learn how to suffer fools patiently and diplomatically. Most of them succeed at this task.
