Abstract

Nursing binds human society with a bond of care and affection. Nursing is a calling to care, which offers an oasis of poignant stories and pool of challenges. Despite urbanization and globalization in India, the healthcare system in the country continues to face formidable challenges. Nurses play an integral role in the healthcare industry, providing care to the patients and carrying out leadership roles in hospitals, health systems, and other organizations. It is of paramount importance that all people everywhere should have access to a skilled, motivated and supportive nursing care within a robust healthcare system. The importance of nurses in healthcare should be underlined for attempting to create a better task force for better quality of care for all. There are certain challenges which nurses in the present healthcare system face. These challenges arise due to issues at the organizational, state and national levels. It is of utmost importance to first recognize and understand each and every possible challenge faced by the nurses in order to deal with them efficiently-not just recognize and understand them but also find solutions to mitigate them.
