Nurse - Janie

I know we've previously discussed the creepiness factor, etc. of the unwinding process. We've analyzed how unwinding looks to an unwind. But what about to the nurse who was in charge of keeping Roland calm? By law, they must tell the unwind every bit of his unwinding process. But what effect (mentally, emotionally...) would the process have on this nurse?


I can't imagine that when unwinding was first legalized the nurses were able to keep their composure. Watching an extremely terrified teenager being taken apart, frantically trying to remember things that have happened over the course of his or her life, has got to be emotionally exhausting for anyone with even a shred of compassion. I would guess that after years of doing this that the process becomes numbing for those involved (with the exception of the unwind, of course), and that the nurses have learned to supress their emotions and see unwinding as just another day at work.
