Abstract
Nurses are only too aware that nursing practice has to continually evolve, develop and adapt in order to meet the changing demands and expectations of society (clay, 1987). However, the need to be appropriately responsive to societal changes does not mean that nurses must passively comply with each and every call for changes to their role. Constant role re-evaluation should be undertaken to ensure that nurses are able to best serve patient's interests (McGee,1993).Keywords
