In today’s world in terms of education and profession nursing is one of the major scopes. The study about the health care of the families, publics and individuals is known as nursing. Before in the 19th century nursing was very difficult and know as dirty profession and in middle of 19th century many patients died of surgery and it was dangerous ( Khan, 2012).
