‘Well what kind of person did you think worked there?’ You always knew that it would be the stereotype full on rugby player come bouncer image in some people’s heads. Working at Broadmoor is all about the skills that you had learnt and used in practice. You were trained to listen and if a nurse really listens, then the patient would feel safe to open up. If they are listened to without criticism or judgement their confidence and self-esteem will grow. When you are patient with yourself you can be patient with others.
