Working as a nurse speaks volumes about you in the sense that it says you care about people and want to help them. That being said, all nurses have different personalities, and different methods of caring for their patients. Some nurses may be very nurturing, while other nurses, although good at their job, may not display that nurturing side as often. It does not indicate one way is wrong, or one way is necessarily better than the other, they are just different. With physicians it's often referred to as “bedside” manner, and the same could be said true of nurses, as not everyone offers the same level of compassion to the patient. That in itself is not a mistake, providing the patient is receiving proper care and not being treated in a disrespectful manner.
