Who are you describing it to?

See my "Art vs. Science" article.

Nursing is one or a group of actions one provides. To be a nurse is to be a licensed professional who, through their actions, provides multi-dimensional care to a person.

Over worked, underpaid and under appreciated!! We are abused, spat at, punched, scratched and a doctors punching bag when they screw up and we have to take it. It's one of those professions where you need skin like a rhino...rough and thick, to take on the challenges we're thrown

Might this be a homework assignment and YOU are supposed to be answering this question by describing nursing to your instructor?

Ding-ding-ding! We have a winnah!

OK, Natasha, I'm going to give you a little hint. No, a great big one. Go to this link and read all the ones that open. They are many excellent descriptions by some great nurses over time. Pick the one(s) you like best. Discuss.
