Nurses are traditionally being viewed as handmaidens of the doctors (Hoeve et al., 2014). With recent advancements in the profession, they are now experts who do more than just providing comfort and helping people recover. For such, several opportunities have flourished where nurses can continue to touch the lives of several people they care for. As patient care is no longer confined within the walls of the hospitals, nurses are seen in various settings (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2016) such as in school, occupational, community or public health nursing. Nurses are also able to do independent works from basic practice to engaging in advanced nursing practices such as nurse entrepreneurship and nurse anaesthetist.
