Special message to the audience
The family nursing is a quite interesting area as it helps me to understand a patients’ lifetime including his/her family relationship. Also, learning the theories and cares of family nursing personally helps me to reflect on the perspectives on my families. The faculty members and students in this department value the unit of “family,” and warmly support students who have children, so that I can keep going with my research being as a mother of two young children.
