MSc. Pham Duc Muc – Chairman of the Vietnam Nurses Association said: “Medicine is the art of healing – Nursing is the art of taking care of the sick”. Nursing is not a profession to assist doctors but a profession to assist patients. The nurse’s work has a much broader scope than performing the doctor’s orders. The nurse’s duty is to take care of the sick.
Millions of nurses around the world are playing a pivotal role in the healthcare system. They are in charge of checking patient’s condition, prescribing medicine; fully preparing tools, supporting surgeons, making an important contribution to the success of surgeries and performing other tasks to serve the primary health care and recovery for patients. Those are people who devote all their hearts, enthusiasm and make great efforts to develop and aspire to bring health, joy and happiness, and spark hope for all.
