In their work, nurses throughout the world need to cope with realities they were not trained to deal with. In this edition, a German nurse and anthropologist takes a cross-cultural look at nursing, following her fascinating work experience in an African hospital. During her stay, she asked many questions. How are nurses influenced by tradition? How are they perceived by their patients and society? How do they deal with the challenges of modern medicine.
