Nurse stories (ePub)

"Nurse stories" is a book that explores the challenges, difficulties and joys of working as a nurse. The author tells her story with incredible honesty, from her life in Lithuania and her struggles there, to her life as a nurse in England. The author's purpose is to help others, through revealing her experiences, take care of their loved ones and overcome difficult moments. This practical book will try to let the reader see the world through the eyes of a nurse and understand the motivation that transforms a profession into a profound vocation. Books have been and remain an important source of spiritual and cultural Human development. Artistic text is a complex phenomenon: it is both a means of communication, and a way to store and transmit information, a reflection of psychological life, human, a product of a certain historical era and a reflection of national culture and traditions. The image of a doctor is present on a large number of pages.
Works of classical and modern literature give us the right to argue: the profession of a nurse at all times has been in demand in society.
Interest in this profession is due to the fact that medicine and literature grow from one root: intense interest and sympathy for the man and his fate.
