To me, nursing means providing a more personalized and comprehensive type of care to all patients regardless of their race, religion, cultural background or socioeconomic standing. Nursing is about putting aside personal beliefs, emotions and assumptions to focus all energy on providing the best care possible. Nurses should have a deeper connection and understanding of their patients as a whole, considering all external factors that could impact their care and making a plan with that in mind. Nursing is about looking past the biomedical aspects and being able to advocate for patients in a way that many other healthcare providers might not.
