| [ Summary ] | Nursing is a profession in which one tends to feel they are being “healed” through saving the lives of others, even when the nurse makes physical and emotional sacrifices. Their self sacrificing emotional choices may lead to stress related diseases. In order to improve the well-being of nurses they may take advantage of SAT imagery work to manage their inherent self sacrificing emotions. | |
