The job of a nurse is to provide the highest quality of care for patients. Nurses also take on the role of advocate, ensuring that the patients under their care are receiving the treatments that they need in a safe, proper, and correct manner. Patients have many rights, including the right to safety and dignity.
Nurses are on the front lines of ensuring that their patients have their concerns addressed in a way that maintains their dignity. Nurses must uphold standards at all times and make sure that their patients’ suffering is managed as best as possible. As a nurse, you can make the difference and turn a difficult situation into one that is more bearable for both patients and their loved ones.
