Re: Those who should- don't.

Anne, though things become more technical, you do get updates, and are required to update your practice constantly......every nurse must keep a personal development portfoilo which the statutory body of nursing can request in order to inspect your educational development.

New Technological equipment always comes with study days.......and you have to gain competence in the use of such equipment. All nurses are obliged to say if they do not feel competent in using equipment....this is so that gaps in their knowledge can be dealt with.
All nurses have performance reviews too.

I don't think you can teach compassion....or empathy. You either have it or you don't
