Some of these stories are actually very touching such as the case where the one experiences the first birth. At times, ...

1. How does the public see the nursing profession and nurses?

In the public's eye, it seems as though nurses are invisible, seeing the job as a supplementary and unskilled profession that does more wrong than right. The authors detail a 'problem narrative' that takes place in the media, one wherein the problems of nurse shortage, staff rations and problems with patients are the norm rather than the exception when it comes to learning about nurses.
