wow--you are a brave and good person.
as for the classmates and their intolerance--it's a shame, though not surprising, to hear that. Especially a shame in nursing, where the ethos of care is so prominent.
But I think people do that so as to distance themselves from the vulnerabilities they see in patients--a kind of protective us vs. them mentality to help the professionals cope with the incredible stress of the work with people who are suffering. So it makes you one of the rare great ones, who can do the work without having to do that kind of distancing. And I'm sure it makes you great at what you do.
