Caring in Nursing Essay

I see my patients as the main reason why I decided to become a nurse. After I moved to the United States, my parents used to take me to the emergency room at least every other month because of my asthma. That time was an eye-opener to what I wanted to do with my life. The nurses were the ones caring about my feelings, completing…

Professionalism in Nursing Practice Professionalism is defined differently according to workplace and environment. Professionalism in the television show is slightly different from the healthcare setting.

and tranquillity where only chaos and suffering had reigned (Bostridge 2008) all while being extremely focused with a brain full of knowledge. This ability is something I would like to achieve and perfect as a nurse.
