nurse anesthesiologist
The profession of nursing has been redefined as compare to previous times. It is well recognized and respected due to the fact that it now involves extensive knowledge, study, research obtaining a degree. The nurses have different fields of skills and specializations such as advanced nurse practitioner, nurse anesthesiologist, wound nurse, nurse case managers, etc. But there are other factors too, such as society and environment, culture. In some cultures, nursing is not considered an ideal profession because income is not satisfactory, work condition is tough. Nurses have less autonomy and respect and their image is negative because people are not aware that what nurses are capable of. Governments and institutions are not providing enough awareness and knowledge about the dignity of this profession. Only students low income and poor families are coming to this profession.
The factors that can influence the perception of nurses is continuing education and awareness. In my opinion, the public perception of nursing is based on who a nurse portray herself while providing patient care. A knowledgeable, well prepared and patient-focused nurse will have respect, dignity, and value. The attitude also plays an important role as this differentiate one nurse from the other. People always respect the nurses who are professional, knowledgeable, focused kind and respectful with a positive attitude.
