Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

I remember from nursing school to avoid saying this because we don’t know what the future holds. Saying “everything is going to be ok” is considered “false reassurance” So you were right all along! :)

The NCLEX tells you not say “everything is going to be ok.” You are literally told not to say that when you take the NCLEX. You are right.

Wow didn’t know that about the nclex. It’s been 15 years since I took it but nice to see that they touch upon the subject. My friend’s comment made me doubt myself and I almost said it to some patients but now I’m glad I didn’t.
