Is the role of a nurse more important than the role a doctor play?
A nurse is a caregiver. He or she provides hands-on care to a patient. IT can be an elderly man or women, or a sickly child. A nurse also takes care of the physical needs of a patient, which can range from total care to aiding in illness prevention. This may occur especially for patients who are prone to illness because of weak immunity or they are recovering from a previous illness. This is also the case for terminal patients or patients with diseases like HIV/AIDS that are persistent and are for life. The nurse should always provide and maintain the patient’s dignity through knowledgeable skilled care.
