Basically, single stories are misconceptions, statements or stories which has been told by a particular set of people about nurses or nursing profession as a whole.

For some of us, before we started studying nursing, I know we might have heard statements like “nurses are assistant to doctors”, “nursing is a female profession”, “the only thing nurses do in hospital is to lay bed, give injection and check vitals” or “males in nursing are lazy set of people”. These are common stories being told from one person to another, and affecting the self esteem of young nurses and perception of nursing as a whole.

This series (which is one of our activities) aim to debunk, educate and enlighten young nurses on what it is, and what it is not. So, I implore you not to miss the episodes.
