Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life.
Despite the glitters of this noble profession, there are some conditions which many people would never wish to go through.
Let me share a few with you..
- You will never have time of your own as leisure, you are always occupied yet still some superiors speak nonsense. Doesn’t matter whether you are a trainee or staff.
