IMAGE OF NURSING: Will the new curriculum affect the future of nursing in South Africa?
Abstract
The image of nursing rests on how we see nursing to be what it is, remembering that it encompasses the autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities sick or well and in all settings. The fundamental responsibilities remain including promoting health, preventing illness, restoring health and alleviating suffering. We know that “Nurses are the heartbeat of health care” and continue to be the hospitality of the hospitals.
