My Transformative Reflection, Take One! Creating and maintaining positive relationships with patients is essential to being a great nurse.

I believe that all people, no matter what their status, background, or beliefs are, should be treated equally and be given the same opportunities, just as every patient should be treated with the same care and compassion.

A nurse cannot alter your care from one patient to the next because it goes against the CNA Code of Ethics, which all nurses must abide by
