It is not the patients themselves that get impacted but the families of these patients as well. There is a certain connection that nurses make with the families of loved ones admitted in hospitals since these nurses are the one the ones in frequent care of their loved ones. Just the other day, as I was unloading some shopping from my car, a woman from across the road came up to me and asked me if I was a nurse to whom I replied that I was. She expressed that she had recognized me and that I was the nurse who had taken care of her husband at a time when he was admitted at the hospital.

Nursing Phil Throughout my life, I have exemplified core Christian values like faith and temperance. Christian role models have helped me to shape a character and identity that is conducive to a life of selfless service, which I view the nursing profession to be.
