The Role of Hospitality in Nursing
In the healthcare sector, hospitality plays a crucial role in shaping the patient experience. A nurse’s responsibility extends beyond administering treatments and medications; it involves creating an environment where patients feel safe, cared for, and valued. At Preethi College of Nursing, we emphasize the importance of patient-centered care, where hospitality forms the foundation of every interaction.
