It is a noble profession that makes a difference to countless lives daily. Yet nurses face discrimination often, even from their own families.
Today is Singapore Nurses' Day.

Nurses are the fast and first point of contacting for health services. Nurses are innovatively practiced to provide free health checkup to the industries indicating their willingness of improving the health of staffs, to meet all the local needs, to improve the physical, mental and well-being of the patients.

Nursing student Yew Chin Ning, 17, is persevering with her studies even though she faces objections from her father.
She told The New Paper: "My father mocks me once in a while, asking why I want to do this dirty job, but it never deters me. I still want to help people, and I have chosen this path.
"There is stigma attached to nursing because the entry requirements are easy to meet, so my father thinks it is not prestigious."

Dr Tommy Dickinson, lecturer in nursing at the University of Manchester, explores the barbaric treatment of gay patients in hospitals - and the nurses who helped them. These brave nurses show us that even in the worst of situations, compassion and kindness can still flourish.

Chin Ning, Ashley Chee Wan Ning, 16, Daryl Puan Jin Hao, 17, and Yan Pei Ling, 17, are first-year nursing students at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
They met while studying at the School of Science and Technology and signed up for the Ministry of Health Holdings' Healthcare Attachment Programme even before receiving their O-level results.
Daryl's mother, a clinical assistant, warned him of the long hours and the intense nature of the job.
He said: "My parents tried to dissuade me from it. My friends were supportive but teased me for wanting to pursue a vocation that had more females."
For Pei Ling, who scored three points for her O levels, it was a caring nurse at KK Women's and Children's Hospital who convinced her to be one.

"Personally seeing the faces of children that we have aided in the hospital. They just come up to you, give you the biggest smile and hug, and just say thank you. Even the hardest heart will melt. That makes this whole journey worth every bit." - Dr Caroline Low-Heah on her most fulfilling moment with Kidz Horizon

The four students are under a sponsorship with Tan Tock Seng Hospital that entitles them to a monthly allowance of $900 for three years and guarantees them a job upon graduation. For Yishun Community Hospital full-time nurse Sheena Ramazanu, 27, it was her father who inspired her to be a nurse.
In 1998, she was flying with her family to India when a fellow passenger could not breathe.
While everyone panicked, her father, Mr Ibrahim Shaik Mohamed, now 69, saved the day.
Then a mental health nurse, he tended to the passenger and calmed her down.
