Several factors contribute to the underappreciation of nurses:
Workload: Nurses often handle a heavy workload, which includes long hours, physical labor, and emotional stress. This immense effort is rarely fully recognized. Perception: The role of a nurse is sometimes perceived as secondary to that of doctors, despite the vital and unique contributions nurses make to patient care. Resources: Limited resources and staffing shortages can exacerbate the challenges nurses face, making it harder for their work to be appreciated. Public Awareness: There is often a lack of public awareness about the complexities and skills involved in nursing, leading to underappreciation.
