In these true stories, compassion makes a good nurse. For example, the nurse who helped the homeless patient not only provided medical care but also basic necessities like food and clothes. That shows she cared about the whole well - being of the patient.
There was a story of a nurse in an overcrowded urban hospital. She faced the challenge of having too many patients and not enough supplies. She had to be creative in using the limited resources and still provide quality care. For example, she would repurpose some basic items to meet different medical needs.
Most likely fiction. In the professional nursing field, there are strict ethical codes. Nurses are focused on patient care and their work is highly regulated. Stories of this nature are often made - up for entertainment purposes in inappropriate or fictional contexts.
These 'stories' have serious ethical consequences. They can damage the reputation of the entire nursing community. Nurses are supposed to be trusted caregivers, and such stories can make patients or the public view them in a different, unprofessional light. Also, it can discourage potential nurses from entering the profession if they think it's associated with such inappropriate behavior.
Compassion. In a true story, a good nurse always shows compassion towards patients. They understand the patients' pain and fear, and try to comfort them, just like the nurse who held a crying child patient until the child felt better.
I'm not sure if there is a widely known 'Nurse Cratchit' as a true story. There could be someone named Nurse Cratchit in a very specific local context or a personal account that I'm not familiar with.
Nurse Betty isn't based on a true story. It's a work of imagination, crafted to captivate audiences with its unique narrative and characters that exist only in the realm of fiction.
