I used to have the mentality that I should make every sacrifice for my patients, that was just the job of being a nurse. No more. When a 6' 300 lb patient refused to let me get help or equipment to help move him out of bed, I stood to the side and let him fall. I no longer will sacrifice my own health and safety for one stubborn patient, when there are so many others in the present and future I could help.
