what is nursing?

"a dog's a dog but a cat's a cat!
a cat is not a dog.....................

first, let me tell you what nursing is not.nursing is not the profesion you enter when you are not enough to become a medic, or when your aren't good enough for other courses of study.it's not just women's work.it's not the way to get into other careers or professions.it's not the job for someone who just want to serve(or meet and marry) a member of another profession.it's not the uniform you put on for work.
nursing is a profession in its own theories and frameworks and its own way of looking at the world.nursing is something that will become part of you,will guide the way you think and act in every situation,not just at work.some people jokingly say that becoming a nurse is a terminal discase-it will be there,a part of you,until you are no mere.the way you see the world and the people in it,will be coloured by your nursing knowledge and judgement.
so stepping into nursing is not just entering a profession it's allowing the profession to entre you.you might leave nursing and have other careers but what you learn as a nurse will always be a part of you.........................
