The nursing profession, which is largely dominated by females, has come under criticism for the indiscipline and unprofessional behaviour of some nurses leading to loss of confidence, she said. Dr Enyan-Edu said the youth, in this contemporary era, opted for the profession just to earn a living without taking time to read about what nursing entailed. “Nursing is a unique profession, which requires high level of commitment, compassion, empathy and a demonstration of utmost care to achieve excellence in healthcare delivery,” she said. She encouraged them to stay focused, take calculated risks and work towards achieving their goals and aspirations. Dr Evelyn Asamoah Ampofo, a Lecturer at the School of Nursing, UCC, urged the nurse trainees to make excellence and hard work their watchword.
