I wanted to ask people through out the hospital for example, EVS and security. While the general population may not have a full understanding of nursing, they are aware that it is a compassionate and caring profession (Watson, 2018). I wanted to see what they thought nursing was about. I also asked my grandma and my little cousin. I wanted to see according to age and generation what do they believe nursing consist of.
