Nebraska Health and Human Services System:"A Consumer's Guide to Nursing. The practice of nursing is a process that occurs during interaction between the nurse and the patient. This process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's health care needs. The nurse assesses the patient's needs by interviewing the patient and the family to determine health history and current health status, by physically examining the patient, and by reviewing the patient's record including the results of diagnostic tests."

Nursing: A Medical Emergency, and Opportunity, hits home by Ronald A. Reis and Karen F. Reis RN:"You’re an RN, and you’ve been at it, administering to the sick and wounded, for months, years, maybe even decades. You’ve got your hands full with 12-hour shifts, high turnover, an often less than supportive work environment, and a stressed-out health care system that is, in places, itself on life-support. What to do? How to keep going? How to make this job, career, meaningful again? How to get out of nursing what you went into it for? How to avoid adding to the national nursing shortage by short-circuiting your own involvement in a noble profession?"
