Introduction

Being a nurse is noble and essential.It is important that a nurse must be physically able, mentally
healthy, Patient-oriented, and a good team player. To remember that patient is the priority of the nurse.

The role of the nurse is to advocate and represent the best interests of the patient and to maintain the
patient’s dignity throughout treatment and care, especially when treatment decisions are being made,
this may include making suggestions in the treatment plan of patients, in collaboration with other health
professionals or co-workers.

A nurse should be able to communicate and compose herself/himself even during the time of downfalls,
and should still able to work well even under pressure without compromising the quality of care that
every patients need.
