Equality diversity and rights are all important to each and every individual, each person has different characteristics, personality and individuality but quality, diversity and rights is what undifferentiates each and every individual showing that everyone matters and no one should be victimised, discriminated or treated differently because of their needs , culture, race, sexuality, gender, religion, age, education, language or background. There are different regulations regarding equality, diversity and rights they are not also important or helpful of victims but also for the victimiser. Each individual has a right to their own opinion, beliefs and thoughts but to an extent. Rights are linked to both diversity and equality because each individual has a right to be equal and a right to be different and to be themselves or who they want to be.

Google states that a nurse is a "person who is trained to care for the sick and or infirm, especially in a hospital;" however, after my experience in the ER I realized that a nurse was much more than that. When I went to the hospital for my stitches, my fear of anything with a pointed tip was starting to get to me, but the nurse who attended me reassured me that there was nothing to worry about. She talked to me and stayed with me throughout the entire operation, she was able to calm my worries and give me support when I needed it most.
