B.CUR NURSING: STUDENT PORTFOLIO OF EVIDENCE

Yes, without a deep understanding of the human nature and a driving passion and interest, one will not be able to become a nurse that impacts the lives of others in a significant way and to make that change that is needed. It asks from each and every nurse to focus with self sacrifice on the needs of patients as well as that of other role players within the profession, and to understand loneliness and pain and illness and the destruction it may cause to the human mind.

Amidst the best scientific treatment possible and available, the lamp of Florence Nightingale still needs to shine in the darkness to bring live and hope at all times where there is despair.
