Nurses love and hate this sign. It is a wonderful tool that can make "what to do next " fairly easy. If the smile turns to a frown .... fix it, give the drug, plump the pillow, done deal. But sometimes, you can never can fix it. Thats when nurses hate this sign. It stares at us, reminding us that we failed. Nurses take failure so much harder than Doctors do. ( Sorry Docs.) We don't get lessons or classes in failure. It is not what we are wired to do..... we are care givers, comforters, pain easers and yes, angels of mercy. We are driven to fix that scale.
