They felt unfamiliar in making relationship with young nurses or female patient. But when their curiosity and interest for the clinical practice were increasing. They wanted to under go this and that and became to make relationship more positively and tried to be discrete in nursing.
More realizing the patient and their family and finding role model in the midst of nurses working for them, they were very inspired.
