This piece speaks to the assumptions that people make, including those colleagues with whom we work closely. Unspoken hopes collide with the oft held ethos of "professional distance". It is my hope that sharing this poem will enlighten nurses to the danger of assumptions, and lead them to question the desirability of emotional disconnection in the caring work that we do as nurses.
