Nursing, to me, extends far beyond procedures and clinical tasks. It is fundamentally about establishing strong connections and building lasting relationships with patients and their families, grounded in mutual respect, care, and compassion, among other values. Caring is at the heart of nursing and is the foundation for healing. Nursing also involves caring for patients holistically, addressing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, among others. The best nurses are those who embody and practice these core values, leaving a lasting impression on their patients’ lives, all while ensuring they care for their own well-being in the process.
