Basically, nursing involves the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of the ill, physically challenged and people who are dying.
Purpose:
The purpose of this webinar is to create more awareness on the fact that the nursing profession is a noble one which transcends gender. In essence, nursing does not belong to one particular gender but cuts across all genders - this implies that nursing is not the exclusive preserve of the female gender as many may think but that males too are involved in nursing. This awareness will hopefully help address issues of overt gender discrimination in the profession thereby promoting a healthy work space for all.
