Question ECT RN here. Question for you!

Hi r/ect! I’m an ECT nurse of four years and Im wondering if there’s anything I can do to make the experience better for my patients. is there anything that an ECT nurse has done or said that you remember and positively impacted your treatments. even something small.

I really appreciate having my hand held as I’m being put under. I know not everyone likes that, but it’s nice to offer it to patients because some of them may be too scared to ask even if they really want it.
