Compassion-SON Definition:" The feeling of deep sympathy or sorrow for another who is experiencing perceived or actual challenges or suffering, with the desire to alleviate the suffering. And be kind one to another , tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christs sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32
Class 4410: Management and Leadership
This assignment on critical thinking helped me identify that compassion is the starting point of critical thinking. The nurse must have the ability to be compassionate in work. Having the ability to focus on others, not self , takes great humility and compassion. To love someone else more than yourself and to devote your life to your patients like nurses and other healthcare professions do, demonstrates compassion.
