Few women living in Garza Countyhaveimpactedthe community as the nursing profession. The close relationships a nurse has within the community and the relationships they build can sometimes be a blessing. In a close-knit community, nurses may better view their patients’lifestylesandconditions. This can help nurses be more understanding of their patients and effective in their jobs.
