75 It’s Okay to Cry Sometimes

When events evoke an emotional response, it’s okay to share the moment with your patients and cry. Many things can trigger emotional reactions; most of them are sad, but happy moments can elicit tears as well.

You may encounter coworkers who don’t show their emotions as part of their cultural background and personal makeup. You need to be open and accepting of cultural diversity. Likewise, they need to respect you as well. Some people see showing emotions as weak and will repress their feelings and remain controlled at all times. Sometimes, as the nurse, you may need to control your emotions to maintain control over a situation and to function normally. You may need to be strong for your patient or their loved ones. It is recommended that you allow yourself to break down and release these emotions at a later time. Like stress, emotions that are stifled for too long can be harmful both physically and mentally.
