Case Study- A nurse on a medical unit was caring for an elderly women. The patient’s family visited frequently. The nurse, patient, and family spent a lot of time together, and the nurse was very helpful to the family. The nurse shared with the patient that her husband was out of work and her family was experiencing a difficult time. Her husband had applied for a job at many businesses, and in the course of the conversation, the nurse realized that her husband had applied to the patient’s son-in-law’s business. He had never been called for an interview.
After the patient left the hospital, the family sent flowers to the hospital unit for the nurse. The nurse was surprised and happy to receive the flowers, which she took home. A week later, her husband received a call for an interview at the business owned by the patient’s son-in-law; he received a job offer one week later. The couple was very happy.
