Importance of social structure in nursing profession---

In the past, it was unheard of for sociology to be a subject for nursing students. Now, nursing
students are often required take the subject because it is widely viewed as essential knowledge
to their daily work as nurses. Sociology is the study of human behavior. From its definition, any
nursing student can construe sociology as their calling card when it comes to handling patients.

Any nurse who is serious about a nursing profession should consider sociology as an important
subject to learn.

Treating sociology as a core part of your nursing education is a key to become a successful
nurse. You will be able to provide genuine care and perform appropriate diagnoses if you have
an understanding of human behavior and reactions. Sociology enables nurses to understand
their social responsibility as agents of change. When you have the capacity to heal or make
your patients feel better, you are not only treating their illnesses; you are also improving the
quality of their lives.
Nurses will also gain insight into the minds and hearts of their patients. That may not be
manifested on initial diagnosis, but with sociology, you begin to understand that the healing of a
person is a process and more than just the giving of medicine. This is why science sociology is
already part and parcel of a nursing profession. Without it, nurses are incapable of
understanding the intricacies of providing diagnosis to people what with their different
backgrounds and ideologies. Sociology is the ticket to a more effective diagnosis.
