Angel of Mercy ( Me, ahuh ) These individuals consider nursing is a calling. Sensitive and compassionate, they place their devotion to others before themselves. Angels of Mercy go to work in the worst of storms. They pick up extended and additional shifts whenever needed. Patients love to have Angels of Mercy, because all their needs will be met. These nurses often delay, in marathon fashion, personal needs for food and fluids, rest, elimination, and recreation. Many are expert instructors of Kegel exercises. Nursing colleagues love to have Angels of Mercy around. Glory and Praise Seekers enjoy taking credit for their accomplishments. Excitement Junkies and Authoritarian Delegators verbally abuse them, since Angels of Mercy will not talk back, and Passive Delegators use them to lighten the work load. However, since Angels of Mercy are human, their rate of burn-out is extremely high. If they remain in clinical practice, these nurses gravitate to specialties in hospice, holistic health, hypnotherapy, shiatzu massage, reflexology or herbal therapies. Upon retirement, if physical or mental health are not impaired from years of abuse, Angels of Mercy will often join the Peace Corps or assist in rebuilding war torn countries. These nurses have a strong need to be productive, even though rest and relaxation are more than overdue. It is rare, although not impossible, to see the pure, stereotypical forms of these personality types for nurses. Further study is needed to learn how these four basic types are influenced by education, work environment, mentoring, and life experience.
