Violence Face by Nurses in Emergency Department

Introduction

Lets start introducing this paper with the name of Florence Nightingale; she is the founder of nursing profession. She led the foundation of Nursing by giving sacrifices and step against the decision of her family.

According to the Royal College of Nursing, the purpose of nursing encompasses several aspects that give a holistic insight into the nursing profession.
