Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This nonmelanoma skin cancer may appear as a firm red nodule, a scaly growth that bleeds or develops a crust, or a sore that doesn't heal. It most often occurs on the nose, forehead, ears, lower lip, hands, and other sun-exposed areas of the body. Squamous cell carcinoma is curable if caught and treated early.
The hard skills are the hands-on procedural skills that a typical bedside nurse must use to perform the job effectively, while soft skills are the intangible interpersonal skills one needs to facilitate communication and navigate the workplace successfully.
Boyle and Andrews (1989) suggested that there is a need for nurses to be first aware of their own culture, so as to be able to address the needs of other cultures. The more they are aware of their culture, the more they are able to recognise their own biases and so can help care for others in a culturally sensitive way.
