Abstract

It is often said about the nurses that they are strong enough to tolerate everything and soft enough to understand everyone. It would not be an overstatement to say that, in the hierarchy of the healthcare system, they are the most taken for granted population and thus one of the most vulnerable. In most countries, the nursing staffs have inflexible working hours; have maximum periods of interaction with the consumers of healthcare and are given a status of secondary citizens in comparison with their doctor counterparts. The power to exercise freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without apprehensions of violence or intimidation is regarded as a basic human right, by United Nations’ universal declaration on human rights [1].
