What is nursing as a profession? Is it a vocation of mercy? Is it a simple activity? Or is that what we collectively mean by that? We understand nursing as professionalized humanity, with the aim of regaining the physical, mental and intellectual capacity to act in a sick person. To achieve this goal, we use scientifically based measures. It is therefore an ancient part of the healing arts.
The path of care starts with the sick person, the needy. It leads from relief through recovery to healing. From discomfort to well-being. Our "technical" measures only develop a beneficial effect, as all scientific research shows, when they are embedded in a loving and compassionate care towards the sick person and thereby stimulate their self-healing powers. Affectionate speech promotes the effect of actions, because without heart care is soulless and technology alone is not enough.
Nursing is also support for people for whom the art of healing is no longer effective, for those who are chronically ill and need relief. We also support people who are nearing the end of their lives. The empathetic understanding of the patient's suffering gives the technology the effect that the patient and we want. relief and cure, Word and hand , are our tools.
The right word and the right hand go hand in hand in the concept of professionalizing our profession. In this context, conveying the belief in the healing effect of care is of decisive importance. Care therefore not only conveys consolation but also belief in one's own healing powers. Help becomes self-help. We accompany the patient on his crutches, support his body with our hands and are happy when he no longer needs it. Coming from two cultures, we know what care is and what it should be. We live in and with her.
With our commitment we want to help you in Germany in this profession and to live with it.
