Nursing is the practice of looking after those who are unable to care for themselves, and doing this requires compassion. I chose this artwork because I strongly believe in order to be an excellent nurse, you need to be able to give compassionate care. Showing compassion can mean many different things. To me, you could show compassion in many ways, for instance holding the door for some or offering assistance is a compassionate act. For patients, you could simply ask them how their day is going. By providing compassionate care to our patients we are able to reduce their stress and promote faster healing.
