Nursing clinics are still a new thing. Nursing is also a kind of treatment. Nursing clinics launched by various hospitals pick up supplements and pick up the work that doctors can't take care of, effectively solving the distress of many patients and their families. For example, for chronic diseases such as diabetes, ordinary citizens have very limited health care knowledge in addition to treatment at the doctor's office. They can often only rely on the Internet and books to fill.

The opening of a nursing clinic has solved this problem. The nursing specialists at the clinic can precisely determine for the patient what to eat at each meal, how to exercise every day, and develop personalized treatment plans. However, the promotion of nursing clinics has many difficulties. The biggest difficulty is insufficient public awareness of nursing clinics. Many citizens ask doctors to prescribe medicine as soon as they come to the hospital. They think that if their doctor prescribes medicine or performs surgery, they will recover immediately. Weak nursing consciousness and lack of nursing knowledge often make patients unable to receive continuous care, fail to recover well, and sometimes lead to aggravated conditions.

Nurses are sitting in the clinic, which is actually a need for medical services. In terms of nursing skills and skills, nurses even surpass doctors. The nurses' outpatient clinics can make up for the shortage of doctors. More importantly, they pass on their valuable nursing experience to everyone, and the patients benefit greatly.
