There are several kinds of nurses classified depending on their education and experiences. As an example,

The nursing topic at hand is the “Nurses Juvenalia Problem”, this is an issue that involves the use of juvenile symbols produced for nurses and by nurses. Juvenalia literally means works produced by a young person. The issue of this arise in instances where grade-school hospital decorations, teddy bears, colorful scrubs, and juvenile images in advertisements cause people to underestimate the hard work that goes into nursing. Nurses want to be taken serious but when they associate with certain symbols in the professional setting it comes off as juvenile. An example of this issue is an instance in which a nursing school decorated their halls with butterflies and hearts, which they use to give a softer look to the “cinder-block look of the institution”. The nursing hall was the only part of the school decorated to produce a cute and cuddly environment that the other students of law, and medicine did not see as professional. This gives off a struggle for nurses and nursing students to be accepted academically with other disciplines who have a more mature environment (Buresh & Gordon, 2006).

Being a nurse means that there are multiple responsibilities to juggle, working with both young and old people, with numerous priorities ranging from counselling and teaching to giving medication.

When someone thinks of a nurse they think of some of these characteristics: leader, courage, honesty, hard-working, smart, flexible, and educator.

Nurses support and enable individuals, families and groups to maintain, restore or improve their health status. Nurse also care for and comfort when deterioration of health has become irreversible.

Registered Nurses do not seem to do a lot, they do way more than one may think. They do bedside patient care for anyone; male or female, short or tall, young or old.

Nurses provide excellent patient care, teach patients about health conditions, and give advice and support to patients and their families. Nurses have a variety of duties. They must monitor and record patient symptoms, take vital signs, watch patients diet and physical activity, supervise less skilled nurses, and order and interpret tests to access the condition of the patient. Nursing can be a wonderful, caring, and thoughtful job. However, to other nurses: nursing can be a difficult, tiring, and stressful job. Any job can be tough but nursing is emotionally and physically draining on a person. Nursing can be such a burdensome and demanding job sometimes because of the long hours, the exam to become a nurse, and dealing with other people.

According to Oxford dictionaries.com, a nurse is ‘a person trained to care for the sick or infirm, especially in a hospital.’

Nurses are the mothers of the medical field. They are often the first person a patient builds a connection with; similar to how a newborn child creates a bond with their mother the instant they are held. And beginning in my early teenage years, I have always felt a maternal bond for all children, be it a stranger or family member.

I was a volunteer at the oncology department of hospital for almost a year, and one of my jobs was assisting the nurse manager with the organization of the “nurse of the month” board. The nurses used to vote for the “nurse of the month”, but if during the same year that nurse had already been “nurse of the month”, the nurse manager would pick another person be on the board. The winner would also receive a gift from the nurse manager. During my time setting up the board I heard many times nurses were not able to vote because they worked during the night shift, and voting was done during the day shift, and felt that they were not considered enough for that prize. While this wasn’t a deal breaker situation for the nurses, it could have certainly

A nurse does this by helping the patient staying comfortable and warm for physical, emotionally by providing therapeutic communication, and spiritually by inspiring purpose in the patient's life or providing religious support in their time of need.

Nurses can be expected to work on weekends, nights, holidays, and are often on-call. Nurses are expected to be in good physical shape in order to manage being on your feet a lot at work.
