Abstract
1 Motivation and Purpose in Nursing
Many individuals enter the nursing profession driven by a deep sense of care and responsibility toward others. Often, personal experiences or observations of healthcare challenges inspire a commitment to providing compassionate person-centred care. These motivations shape professional journeys, reinforcing the resilience and empathy needed to navigate the complexities of nursing. The role of nurses extends beyond clinical tasks, encompassing emotional support, advocacy, and the ability to respond to diverse patient needs with compassion and competence.
Across generations, those in the nursing profession have found meaning in their work by transforming difficult experiences into opportunities for growth. While each nurse's journey is unique, the common thread of dedication to patient care remains a defining characteristic of the profession. This shared sense of purpose unites nurses across different specialties, cultures, and healthcare systems, creating a global network of committed professionals.
