What you should know about Nursing?
Nursing offers a wide range of career opportunities-from entry level to doctoral-level researcher. Nurses are hands on-health professionals who provide focused and highly personalised care to patients. Nurses promote health, prevent disease and help patients cope with illness. They have unique scope of practice in both independent and collaborative situations. They work as independent nurses or as collaborative nurses in a healthcare team and provide the care needed by each patient as an individual or in a community.
Nursing can be described as both an art and a science, a heart and a mind. At its heart, lies a fundamental respect for human dignity and an intuition for a patient’s needs. This is supported by mind in a form of rigorous core learning. Nursing has a vast range of specialisations and complex skills in the nursing profession; hence each nurse has specific strengths, passions and expertise according to the specialisations.
