title: When the patient is your mum.
abstract: Having a sick relative can be particularly stressful when you are a nurse, as the expectation that you will 'take charge' comes into conflict with the need to be reassured like any other relative. This article examines the tension between these roles, and provides advice for 'nurse family members' and the nursing teams who encounter them.
