    Nurses are the backbones of any clinic or hospital sites. They provide health care in the best of their ability to help their patients but also be there for them as a person. Compassion and tolerance is key to being a nurse. There is no point of caring for other human beings especially those who are ill, if you can not be CARING. Nurses are just as important as any physician, just because they didn't earn a PhD, nurses are still just as helpful as any doctor in the medical field.…

    Final Reflection Florence Nightingale once said that nursing is an art that requires just as much devotion and preparation as any sculptor or painters work (Hideaki, 2016).
