Oh yes, especially if you care for them for weeks or more and it is determined that the condition that they are suffering with is never going to get better and there is little to be done except offer comfort to the patient and family. It helps them all to see familiar faces caring for them. It helps to know that you are not just a patient in a room who may never go home again from the hospital. It can be a tough job alot of the time, not just the medical care, but the emotional support. But it is the most important thing of all to offer in that that loving one on one care for all who are suffering in such a way.
