JIA: ok thank you for the information about yourself and your experience as a private nurse and as a
teacher Nurse Ren. Ok let’s begin with a question about What is your perception of Nursing as a
Profession?

RENERIO: while for me nursing as a profession is the noblest of all profession. Where nurses offered a
greatest service to humanity. Nursing is not just merely caring patients. But it needs mixture of special
skills in handling patients. So, they can attain the best of health and the quality of health service. While
nursing as a professional upholds the value of accountability, Respect and Integrity.

JIA: OK. Thank you so much for your answer. And how about your perception of Nursing as an Art and
as a Science?

RENERIO: OK, so let me start with nursing as an art. So, my perception as nursing as an art is that.
because nursing involves different set of tasks. Where you need to be creative, Organize and
understanding in dealing by caring with patients. Of course, in dealing with the doctors and your
coworkers. In addition to that, as a nurse, you need to have a quality of being compassionate or
individuals. Also, in My, experience as a private nurse. Dealing with patients with different health
condition. And as a school nurse, where I handle learners with special needs. I establish and build unique
approaches to each one of them, to achieve the best result. And to give the proper care and assistance
to them. Now in terms of nursing as a Science, of course, nursing is a science because it includes
scientific knowledge. It is science because the fundamentals of nursing practice consists of scientific
information. You need to study more on medical knowledge, to different health processes, and you
need to equip yourself with the latest medical technology. While upholding the best Practice, which is
based on research and evidence.

JIA: ok, thank you so much for your time, Nurse Ren. I am so grateful interviewing with you today. I have
learned a lot from you from the experience and information you shared with me and I will work on until
