I'm a RN and I recently graduated a year ago, but what he needs 2 understand is that God brings home who work on earth is over, its not his fault, he will save just as many lives, as people who will die on his shift. Tell him don't give up, he has plenty other people 2 help save.

im sure the hospital he works at has someone he can talk to about on the job stresses. They keep people like that on staff.

If your brother wants to be a nurse, he's going to have to accept all the realities of it. If he doesn't, then its not the end of the world that he decides not to be a nurse. So support him either way.
