In healthcare, time can often feel like the scarcest resource, a luxury that's hard to come by. Few understand this better than nurses. In my 43 years as an oncology nurse and nurse leader, I've witnessed the profound impact that time, or lack thereof, can have on the nurse-patient relationship. The ability to sit bedside, listen deeply, and understand the fears and concerns of our patients strengthens their trust in us and enhances their care experience.
