The central goal or focus of the nursing profession is to develop the idea of providing different dimensions of care to patients by use of science (Dossey, 2010).

Therefore, being a nurse, I have to take into consideration all the aspects that would enable an efficient delivery of quality services (Dossey, 2010).
