ANSWERS :

1. NURSING : Nursing is one of the noble profession which is focused on health care of people, serving of diseased patients, family, community and individuals to promote qualitative health care, promotion of health, prevention of diseases and restoration of health. It is the only profession which focus mainly on patient care without seeing status of the peoples.

2. In the nursing profession the only goal of the nurses is patient care who are suffering with pain and disease conditions. Nursing has influenced my way of thinking towards nurses. I found myself bounding towards the kind of care they are providing to the welfare of the patients and hospital organizations. During their job period in each and every shift of job they are going to handle all the patients of the wards alone without ant tiredness or irritation the whole day, with a smile on their faces. My experience towards nursing has changed by seeing of their hard work, punctuality, sincerity towards patients care. I had started seeing nursing as a noble profession which their motto is serving of diseased people and from sufferings. Now I can encourage others to join into this profession to serve the people, families and communities.

3. On the shows where nurses are being showcased makes their importance and presence on community. All the shows are not real to highlight the profession, they show nurses as for entertainment and for glamour purpose, by seeing of that shows I react very badly and want to switch off the show. But on some shows they beautifully explains the role of nurses and their presence on the screen, by seeing of that shows I feel proud about this profession and get some motivation to do something for the society.
