What is Nursing?
Nursing is the field of allied health science that mainly focuses on looking after the ill and injured patients and helping them to recover from their illness as soon as possible. In the real- world, nurses are always in the front line of health care. They combine the principles of health sciences with the art of caring to ensure patient comfort and speedy recovery. The nurses also serve as patient’s advocates, health educators and coordinators of different health care services. Their expertise has enabled nurses to work in a wide variety of settings, including adult facilities, prisons, officers, private clinics and even military bases.
