My doctors office is accepting several nursing school students who need clinical hours in a doctors office.

And my doctor asked me if I wanted to talk to the nursing students about my experiences as a pain management patient at my next appointment, which is in 2 weeks. I'm excited (and nervous) about talking to a future generation of nurses about pain management from a patients perspective.

I wanted to ask all of you - if you got a change to talk to nursing students about being a pain management patient, what would you say? what important points would you make? what would you want them to know about pain management nursing?

Thanks

Liz
